You know, I’ve fixed people’s broken computers many times and I’ve never worn a baseball cap backwards while doing so. I obviously lack computer bug’s fashion sense.
Heh, I often wore my nerd cap of many colors with the spinning propeller on it, just to nonpluss the managers. My customers expected stuff like this from the guy that had the “Department of Applied Miracles” formal sign on his cube at a certain Large Aerospace Company…
Also known as “The world’s oldest computer nerd” among the family. (Sigh)
Entirely too accurate. Yesterday I received the blue screen of death and had to wait for IT to come and figure out what was wrong, while I sat there bored out of my mind.
What’s worse is being the guy called out to fix the computer, and the person is unwilling to let you take over. I got sent out on a service call once, and stood by for an hour and a half while a 60-year-old-woman was on the phone with tech support and not understanding a word of it. She finally gave in and handed me the phone, and within 5 minutes everything was done and working. I was never that frustrated from a simple grounding as a child. At least then I had books.
Working in any tech field that deals with customers directly teaches you to despise pretty much everyone everywhere.
Oh, for sure. They actually tricked me into that job – when I interviewed, they put me in the back in my own room all alone just fixing things, and it was heavenly. Then after I accepted the job, I was told I’d have to wear a tie and deal with customers and my very first day was a service call to an old lady whose dial-up modem shot craps. Dirty rotten scoundrel of a boss and I’m glad he went bankrupt. Friggin’ customer service.

Ha! Sometimes I wore my Barbie Princess tiara. Does that count?

I still haven’t figured out why anyone even *makes* search bars
To make sure you find the “right” things. Of course the definition of “right” lies within the creator of the bar.
So does that mean the Adult version of being kicked out of the house is losing your internet?
Yup.

“wait for IT to come”, if you are being paid to watch your computer get fix, you are winning. Just Sayin…
Fair enough!
It is not the waiting that is painful, it is the waves of palpable disdain coming from the the IT guy.

I think this applies to all customer service jobs.
