1!@#!$!
FUCK.
For God's sake. I feel like I'm gonna explode. Stress getting to me, and it shouldn't be.
I hate the people at my fucking bank. Every single time I go there they manage to fucking make my blood boil. I think monday I'm gonna close my account.
My mom called me today wanting computer tech support today. The problem is she CAN NOT learn how to use her computer. It doesn't matter what I tell her, it just doesn't register. It never gets absorbed. Add this to the fact that she's taken classes on how to use a computer and it becomes even more irritating.
Keep in mind this is the 3rd call in 3 days on the same topic. On the first call she knew 0 details except that it "didn't work". On the last call she knew slightly more... today's call was this.
Mom: "My computer (at her school) won't print."
allroy: What's it doing?
Mom: "It says it can't find the printer port"
allroy: "ok it could be a couple of things. First I want you to make sure it's plugged in and hooked up right."
mom: How do I do that?
a: Look behind it and make sure everything is plugged in and connected.
M: I think it is.
A: ok I need you to go to Printers.
M: Where's that?
A: On the control panel.
M: I don't know where that is.
A: Go to start, then control panel then printers.
M: There's nothing here that says printers.
A: There should be...
M: Oh wait there it is.
Just imagine trying to walk someone through fixing something on their PC when they have a hard time operating a mouse properly. Fun.
I love her and stuff, but DAMN.
Another thing. A computer science Degree doesn't mean "I like to fix computers like the PC tech at Best Buy." People seem to think it does. You want a program written, fine call me. You want tech support? Call whoever built your fucking machine.
I want people to start doing that shit to mechanics. I think it'd go down like this.
Person: My car doesn't work, what's wrong with it.
Mechanic: Bring it in.
Person: No! I wan't you to diagose it and walk me through fixing it over the phone.
Mechanic: Fuck you.
