HaHa You're Funny...

No seriously, I have heard that one before

On my way to deliver a computer today I walked passed a couple of users.  User 1: "Nice day to be taking that computer for a walk!"  User 2 busts out laughing.  I let out a sigh under my breath and a low chuckle to acknowledge that I had heard them.  Luckily enough, on my way back from dropping the computer off I pass by user 1 again.  "Looks like your computer ran away!"  Let me tell you, instant classic...

There is one we hear at least once a week that I can't even bring myself to acknowledge anymore.  "Hey Susie, you got a haircut!"  Referencing the fact that I am sitting in Susie's chair fixing her computer.  The comedy genius never ends around here. I am still waiting for that one comment that will actually make me laugh.

P.S.  Porn user got another virus today.  He claims he just opened a web browser and BAM!  I of course continue removing the virus, pretending I don't know why he got it.  I bet he thinks he got away with a close call today.  I can't believe these people think they are hiding what they do on their computers.

Talking to Myself

Here comes that crazy person again...


So I have decided to start talking to myself out loud when I am walking around work.  I figure if users see a "crazy" person coming their way they are less likely to ask me about their computer.  I don't mind a quick question about a relevant topic, but when everyone tries to drag me to their office while I am on my way to an appointment it gets rather irritating.

I would also like to have a random conversation about something other than computers when I run into people. I am not sure what is worse at a party, either (A.) a computer technician answering every question that have saved up about their personal computer problems or (B.) a dentist having to actually stare into peoples' mouths at to see if they have a cavity.  Both problems are caused by user error and neither one is an appropriate topic at a party.

I mean when I see an accountant, I don't ask them to do my taxes...
