How Do I Reset My Chicken's Time Zone?

Ah, you must have been unlucky and got the wrong Tech

I can kind of see both sides ... it is not easy sometimes! The best one I ever got was an e.mail and the subject was "I do not know how to send an e.mail"

So wanted to reply, "Apparently you do!" but I need the job and the money, so I played along!

[climbing up onto soap-box] Pet hates: "I can't print" ... uuum, why can't you print? Do you have a printer? Are you getting any error messages? Gimmee a little bit to work with here!

Or

"I get an error message!" Just a thought, but any chance you might wanna share that or is it a secret?

I could go on, but I won't .... [climbing down off soap-box]

I like the better half's mother's or grandmother's calls with "I got this error message" "Well, what did it say?" "I don't know, I turned the computer off"

One time when I was still living at home, my mother spent 20 minutes on the phone waiting for tech support to answer. Her laptop had suddenly died. I entered the room, and she started complaining to me about it. I took a look at the floor, and at the same time when tech support finally picked up the phone, I plugged in her charger. She was a bit humiliated. There's a reason most tech support calls start with "Have you checked all the cabels?".

Another favorite is "This is broken". Yes, very helpful description of the problem you're encountering.

As the go to guy for tech issues in the family, I feel for you. Couldn't imagine doing that for a living, I'd go crazy. I did always try to be friendly to the tech support people. They get really surprised when you ask how their day has been or what the weather is like in Bangalore.

Having said that, I wouldn't switch .. I am one of the lucky ones who actually enjoys what they do :)

Heh hum, throat clear, that is Brisbane not Bangalore!

Yeah, ours was set up in Bangalore. Used to be inhouse, but cost cutting, you know...

I'd love a sarcastic tech support representative (why does it have to be so PC? What's wrong with "Nerd" or "Geek" or something?). Someone who tells me that I'm an idiot, when I'm being an idiot.
