Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Another great week-end in Austin! Secured another listing on Saturday right after my massage, came to terms on an offer on a listing, enjoyed dinner with my Geno celebrating our 22nd Anniversary, wrote a recommendation for a student for the National Honor Society and started working on our income taxes! How did it get to be Monday morning! Grab a cup of your favorite brew and let's enjoy some tech support humor to help start your day: 

 

A clerk who works at a local school gets a call one day...

Clerk: “Hi, I am trying to use this new system on these computers and I am attempting to make my account.  My Principal got me started but now I am stuck.”

Me: “What seems to be the problem?”

Clerk: “Well, it is asking me for First Name and I have no idea what I am supposed to type.”

Me: “You’re at the registration screen? Um…well I think you are supposed to enter your name.”

Clerk: “Oh…okay…wait. No, it’s asking me for something else.”

Me: “What now?”

Clerk: “It says…last…name…what do I put here?”

Me: “Probably your last name.”

Clerk: “Oh, thanks…now it’s asking for my phone number! What the heck am I supposed to put here!  Why can’t I just do it the old fashioned way?”

Me: “You mean pen and paper?”

Clerk: “Yes! It was so much easier. These fancy computers are just so complicated. I never understand what I am suppose to do!”

We had a phone call from someone wanting to make a hotel reservation online.  The call went just like your example.  In the end they successfully made their reservation.

It's just a guess, but I think that person probably had a problem with pen and paper too.
