Hard to believe the first week-end in December is over! Our Canyon Creek HOA Multi-Cultural Festival was this week-end and what a great turnout!! Finished some Christmas shopping, met with a seller concerning repairs..we will see if we can work this one out. Daughter-in-law ran in the Sacramento Marathon this week-end and so proud of her for coming in with a good time (we followed her on a link)!! Watched Clemson rake Miami over the coals and son John was on cloud nine! Somehow it got to be Monday morning. Grab a cup of your favorite morning brew and join me for some tech support humor to start your week.
A support agent works as an IT technician for his college during the summer, and they are in the process of upgrading their phone system. He had replaced a certain older professor’s phone the previous day and left both a full manual of how to use the phone as well as a more condensed “how-to” pamphlet. The phone works exactly like any other office phone. The professor in question calls the help desk.)
Tech Support: “Hello, IT help desk. This is [My Name]. How may I help you?”
Professor: “Yeah, I need to know how to use the new phone.”
(The tech support agent is confused, as he is calling on that very phone.)
Tech Support: “Is there a certain feature you’re not sure of how to use?”
Professor: “I just need to know how to make calls on it.”
(Now the agent is very confused.)
Tech Support: “It should work just like your old phone, just pick up the handset and start dialing. You can check your voicemail by pushing the button that looks like an envelope.”
Professor: “Why are we changing them, anyway?”
Tech Support: “Our old system is really outdated and is costing us a lot to maintain.”
Professor: “Well, who is paying for all these new phones?”
Tech Support: “I’m not sure of what part of the budget it’s coming out of, but it will actually save us money in the long-run.”
Professor: “Well, we’re all dead in the long-run.”
Tech Support: *speechless for the next full 30 seconds* “Umm, yep… Is there anything else you need?”
Professor: “Nope, bye.”
Tech Support: “Have a nice day.”
