Do you enjoy tech humor? Tech Monday ~ 11-2-15

We weathered the rain on Friday but it was tough navigating! Even the Austin Airport was closed for part of the day. Saturday continued with rain but finally cleared off late in the afternoon. We stopped to check on Hudson and Beckett as they left for a Halloween party and made it home in time to pass out candy to the few trick or treaters that passed by. Date night with Geno at Eddie V's was wonderful. Sunday morning Hudson's mom ran a 10 mile run and Hudson ran with her in a 1K. Received an offer on a new listing and now it is Monday morning so join me for some tech support humor to help start your day:

 

 Customer: “Hello, is this Tech support?”

Tech Support: “Absolutely, is there an issue I can help you with?”

Customer: “Yeah I want you to take over my computer and tell me what’s wrong with it. It’s all crazy.”

Tech Support: (Thinking about how “all crazy” actually constitutes as a good description of a problem in most cases) “Okay ma’am well I assume you’ve had us remote control your machine again, so go ahead and open the program for me and I’ll try to connect. What’s the IP address?”

Customer: “No, you can’t have my IP.”

Tech Support: “Well it’s impossible to help you without it. Don’t worry, I’m not going to do something to your machine.”

Customer: “No, you don’t understand. My ISP or whatever stopped giving me internet so I need you to do it some other way.”

Tech Support: “Ma’am, without internet I can’t just .. beam into your computer.”

Customer: “Man, those guys control EVERYTHING!!”

Good morning Dorie,

ISP; ESP sounds like the better half trying to get on her computer some days!

Amazing that she was a medical biller!

Make yourself a great day.

Good morning Dorie. I'm glad you are OK after the rain. As for the tech thing, I frequently feel patronized when I have to call.

Dorie,

Glad the rain has gone in your part of the world.  When I was packing for the trip that did not happen, I found that I did not have any rainworthy shoes in my closet, and had decided to sacrifice a pair of closed toed suede shoes for the trip...

We are still planning a trip to Austin one of these days soon to meet you and Geno, and yes, I will find a pair of shoes suitable for rain by then.  Have a great week.  A
