Guy: *rushes in, looking around, panicked* I'M LOOKING FOR THE FERRY?!
Me: *winks* You've found him.
Guy: ... what?
Me: Go up two traffic lights to the Safeway, turn right, follow the road all the way out.
Guy: ...w-what?! *blinks*

Hey, I have to amuse myself somehow. /^|..|^\

Xedrik: So, I had a caller ranting and raving about his #^#$% copier not ^#$% scanning like it's supposed to.
Xedrik: so ran him thru some basic checks which he barely had patience for, no dice
Xedrik: he was very rude and insisted on a tech. i told him i could have a tech come and see him tomorrow, as we are booked today, and besides it'd be $150 ( Read more... )

So, we have a customer called "Pacific Northwest Axx Sxxxxx" (name changed to protect the LOL-worthy). They have a new guy there, and he called to order toner.

So frustrated at work. They're wanting to move our copy shop and showroom downstairs to the main floor, for better exposure and traffic. Which means having to redo the entire floorplan to make sure everything fits. One of the owners and I come up with a brilliant layout for one side of the building, and it's great. Everything fits, plenty of ( Read more... )
