Do you enjoy tech humor? Tech Monday ~ 7-18-16

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

A beautiful summer week-end! Hot, blue skies, sunshine and plenty of family time! Saturday was pool time with Beautiful Beckett and Handsome Hudson with their folks. Listing appointment on Sunday and one for today plus getting ready for the "Roast" we are planning for Geno for his retirement this week (lots of fun on tap). Yet there is so much turmoil going on in our world. Take a moment and pray for us all to resolve this discord that is mounting increasingly.  It's Monday morning join me with a cup of your favorite morning brew for some tech support humor to start your day:

 

(A user wanted a simple password change on their account.)

Tech Support: “Right, I have changed your password to the word ‘RED.’”

User: “Red?”

Tech Support: “Yes. Romeo. Echo. Delta.”

User: “Hang on, I get to the ‘h’ in Echo and it won’t let me enter any more characters.”

Tech Support: “I am using the phonetic alphabet to spell out red to you.”

User: “So what do I put now?”

Tech Support: “Just put the colour red.”

User: ‘The colour red’ doesn’t work.”

Tech Support: “Just type the word red. R-E-D.”

User: “I’m in now. You should have just said that instead of Echo Delta Colours! Thanks!”

Good Morning Dorie - glad you had a great family week.   The weather was nice but hot here.  Sometimes in tech support you really have to make it very simple.

Dorie,  Happy Monday. 

Congratulations to Geno on his retirement this week.

I do not know how tech support people do what they do .... 8 hour or more a day.

Dorie, Geno's roast will be such a fun time. What a great idea. I agree, we need lots of prayers these days.

Dorie, I have already received my humor for the day from someone who doesn't understand the value of a home...I am not smiling but laughing...all things come back to bite people in real estate.

It's nice to have some humor in our lives given how tragic recent events have been. I hate to event look at the news online these days!!

Good morning Dorie.  I thought after a few of these they would be just a ho-hum post.  However I was wrong, just can't make this stuff up...  Thanks for sharing

I can fully relate.  Sometimes with tech support, being exact and precise doesn't work!  Especially if you're blonde!
