No, no. It's not about me...it's about YOU. I write this stuff for fun, and largely to provide a source of information about certain games (TF2, The Sims 3) directly from a user point of view. I can answer questions about gaming stuff. Just leave me a comment. Other than that, my main addiction is Law and Order and finally getting round to doing my Bachelor of Laws. And so that you're not disappointed, the social networking links on the left don't work. I don't use those. Read more about me »
One of the most common calls that we used to get in Tech Support was for “lost files”. Now, you see, I’d love to believe the end user on this way and concur with them being “lost files”. Instead, I think that we’re dealing with “deleted files” brought to our attention by “lost causes”. So [...]
I’ve already written about this incident, but I feel it needs a recap and a follow up. So, there was a guy at the place that I used to work at and he displayed the classic symptoms of Short Man Syndrome, or rather the Napoleon Complex. This guy was a dick. Plain and simple, there [...]
When I was working in IT the thing that used the piss me off the most frequently was the lack of patience from the luser end user. Why is this? Why can some people just simply not wait a while for an answer? People would e-mail late on a Friday afternoon, and then come fairly [...]
We had a call. There were two issues with this person but on the phone she only mentioned one of them. Now, I’m not too keen on this person as they say such stupid things (seemingly without thinking) that I find it difficult to be in their presence for long. Anyway, I decided to torture [...]
Welcome to part ten of Did you eat a bowl of stupid for breakfast? You might be able to tell that I no longer work in Tech Support, but these memories keep flooding back to me, and I just have to drift off into a daydream because they’re so damn good. So…guys walks into a [...]
Right. Left. We have this new(ish) building, which is a music school. There are many things that you would expect to find in a music school, and an auditorium is one of them. What would you particularly expect to find in an auditorium? Hmm. Let me ponder this for a bit…perhaps…you know, just maybe…a sound [...]
I have, from this afternoon at least, 36 work hours left (I’m one of those bastards that only works part time). Now I wish to tell you about the usual procedure when someone leaves this fine institution. Those are my italics. Normally, they announce that they’re leaving a fair old while before they go. We [...]
So, I get a call one day, and like a good girl, I answer it. That’s what I’m there for, as part of my many duties I answer the phone. It’s the bit of the job that I hate the most. Not least because we can’t see what the stupid fucker is doing, but also [...]
A mediocre element of this week I took the final exam for A210 on Wednesday. Part of me thought that I should be nervous, another part of me thought that I hadn’t done enough revision. So, I get into this exam, in, of all places, Essex County Cricket Ground and when the exam beings I [...]
I kid ye not. (Did you know that “ye” is the plural form of “you” in old English?) Oh dear…not so many pictures in this post as there has been recently?! For those of you with short attention spans who need something to look at, there’s a video at the bottom! At the weekend I [...]
