View Full Version : We suck, because you are stupid.

Just another rant/story.

Tech Support is probably one of the worst jobs ever. You have to be "nice" to your customers. You can't tell them "No, you are stupid, it does not work that way. I will NOT just give you a static IP address if you refuse to tell me your NIC MAC address. No, I don't care how it worked on ISDN. You are not running Linux 5.0. Oh, you have an NT screen up? I am sorry, you have more problems than I can help you with."

Instead it's "Yes sir, I understand, it would be much easier that way. No, I do not completely understand what you are talking about. Yes sir, it was our mistake, I apologize. Yes sir, I will send someone out there ASAP to get it fixed for you. I am sorry you got 4 hours of sleep and had to miss the birth of your child because it would not work. You would like a credit? OK, I will see what I can do. You have a nice evening sir."

All the while he is making a triple digit income and I am still being paid a little bit per hour.

People suck, and I have to deal with it because they pay my salary.

I'd go even more crazy. I couldn't take it. I can barely take it as just being a cashier. But I suck it in, and hold back. Just for a measly $8.00 an hour.

Look, tech support is a fucking wonder compared to minimum wage retail. Especially supermarket or department store retail. I would take tech support any day.

I am all up for a life of runnin trapping lines and drinking watered down hootch....at least when that grizzly bear eats me I'll die with my gun smokin.

What exactly r we workin for guys?

Mortgage?
Cars?
Clothes?

Just don't want to get wet when it rains?

I ponder this.
Where are your principles when you say "yes" to a question whos answer is "You have no idea."

What kinda person are you when you fix the mistake of incompeteance that came to be because the rich guy refused to pay for a competant job to be done to soemthign he didn't need to begin with?

One more time:

The only reward for doing right is doing right.

Thats one of those "man" things...you know, that urge to build a bridge, or climb a mountain, or cure a disease, or paint a picture.

Freedom isn't making a million dollars or dieing in a war its spending your life in the pursuit of what you want to achieve.

If you gotta work at tacobell to do that, you are free enough to choose, and that means you're free enough to succeed.

Don't fear sacrifice, just those who won't.
