Lies!!
Okay, dont you fucking hate it when someone lies to you and they get away with it because ther eisnt a godamn thing you can do to them?
This bitch calle din a little while ago. Apparently, when she tried logging in to a program we use here at work from home (we have a setup called VPN that allows people to get on the work network from home), her VPN connection would drop and she would disconnect, so she wouldnt be able to get email, etc from home. Now she said: 1. This has been working all along from home 2. She couldnt disconnect any of her home networking hardware (this is the 1rst troubleshooting step, always. casll your isp and say you have a problem connecting, and tell them you have a router, they will tell you to go straight into your cable/dsl modem) 3. She ABSOLUTELY had to get back on today. So i got pissed right away because she wanted me to magically fix her fucking problem without being willing to take the first step towards troubleshooting it. I get off the phoen with her and ask around. Turns out the old versionof this program has a problem over VPN and will kill the connection. So being a nice boy, i call the bitch back. I have her check, and behold, hshe is using the old version. She NEVER used it from home. She couldnt have, it NEVER would have worked!!!! And then i inform her that the upgrade has to be done in the office, no ifs ands or buts, it cant be done remotely. Then, she acts all fucking laid back. no biggie. she'll wait until tomorrow. Its so fucking important that she was going to have upper management ride my ass until i became Jesus and worked a fucking miracle, but as soon as she has to drag her lazy ass into the office, it can wait another fucking day.... i hope her fucking roof collapses in the storm today.

we get that all the time (VPN is a pain in the ass to support by the way)
the all time classic is .. some programs cause conflicts with others .. have you recently installed anything ? no.. then you look and see chat software, porn dialers ,,etc. when i was doing that job i just told my manager that i'm too busy to waste my time - reimage.

What i love is "is there any 3rd party software on your computer?" "No." Then you check, and they have weatherbug, webshots, halflife, Tiger woods, AOL, WindowWasher, Trillian, bargainbuddy.... Granted, we have a tendency to keep "forbidden" software on our cmputers, but we fix them, we know what to do if something goes wrong.

I actually - finally - have the sweetest job on the planet now .. its a lot of work - non stop - but i love it .. I have a huge secure room on the 14th floor .. nice view ... hardly anone on the floor and the ones that are are in their own secure server rooms. The technicians come up for stuff all the time but basically i work alone so i CRANK TUNES LOUD all day long. I have over 1000 cd's full of MP3s I've never had the time to listen to - now i'm catching up. I brought a bar fridge and a microwave in here ... decorated the place ... and my boss is not only drop dead gorgeous - she's amazing to work for ... All the people i deal with are cool now - unlike the nerd convention i was forced to deal with before (engineers) life is too good ... my car will probably blow up or something soon.

I am still stuck answering support calls on occasion (like all this week....) which is why ive been looking around lately... Plus, most places would hire me as a programmer only ( i love programming) and i would get paid 1.5 to 2 times what i make here. So i have been looking....
As it turns out, if you have the following skills, you are in pretty high demand: C# ASP .Net HTML XML Javascript CSS XHTML VBScript i have anywhere from 1 to 5 years experience with the above list. I already apssed up one job offer because it would have meant a 2 hour one way commute, but it would have been $73,000 a year.... sigh.... Im also looking into a possible contracting job (which is scary), but it is for $45 an hour, which figures to about $93,000 a year. With money like that, who needs job security?
