Do you enjoy tech humor? 10/9/17

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Another fantastic week-end! Our weather was sunny with clear skies, negotiated 2 repair amendments (waiting for 2 more), dinner with close friends, held a well attended open house on new listing, getting ready for new listing this week and made Handsome Hudson and Beautiful Beckett's soccer games (so much fun). Now it's Monday morning so grab a cup of your favorite morning brew and join me for some tech support humor to start your week.

It is springtime, and it has been raining for a month. At eight am on Saturday morning, the sun comes blazing forth!  The news server has crashed and indexes have to be rebuilt, so it’s down for a while.)

Support: “Thanks for calling [ISP]. How can I help you?”

Customer: “I’ve been trying since six am to get my newsgroups, and nothing is happening!”

Support: “Are you nuts?”

Customer: “What?”

Support: “It’s been raining for weeks. It’s nine am on a Saturday, and it’s warm and sunny out. What are you doing inside?”

Customer: “Holy cow, you’re right!” *click*

Co worker: “How the h*** do you do that?”

Hi Dorie- it looks like you had another great weekend and so happy that you were able to get to HH's and BB's soccer games.  They grow up so quickly it's nice that you can see these fun and special moments.
