What a fabulous Easter week-end! Our annual community Easter Egg Hunt was held Saturday morning. Watching all the residents streaming in to the park with their kids and grand-kids reinforces why I truly enjoy partnering for these events! Showing several buyers homes and presenting multiple offers on my new listing kept me busy! Unfortunately Geno was sick this week-end:(. Somehow it's now Monday morning! Why not grab a cup of your favorite morning pick me up and join me for some tech support humor to help start your day: 

 

This customer was getting a blue screen of death on his computer...

 

Tech Support: “Hello, thank you for calling tech support. How can I help you today?”

Customer: “I was wondering if you could tell me who general failure is and why he is trying to read the C drive on my computer?”

Tech Support: “Ummm…excuse me?”

Customer: “I said that some guy named General Failure is reading my C drive.”

Tech Support: “How did you come to this conclusion?”

Customer: “When I booted up my computer I get a big blue screen that says “General failure reading drive C,” and I demand to know who this person is!”

Tech Support: *stifling laughter* “Okay, if you don’t mind I am going to place you on hold for about 10 minutes while I do an investigation as to who this person is…”

(The techie placed the customer on hold and told his co-workers.  They laughed for 10 minutes.)

Tech Support: “Thank you for holding. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is I was able to find some information for you. The bad news is that I wasn’t able to confirm who this ‘General Failure’ is; I am sure he doesn’t work for us. The other thing is that your hard drive is fried, and I would advise you to try to pull any data you can off the drive and invest in a new one. Is there anything else I can do for you today?”

Customer: “Um…no thank you.”

Good Monday morning Dorie Dillard -

Sounds like you and Geno enjoyed another great weekend.  We walked Dixie to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. She enjoyed watching all the human kids having so much fun.
