Customer: "Why didn't you tell me I have call waiting?"
Tech Support: "Sir, we have no way of knowing if you have call waiting."
Customer: "Well, you should ask everybody!"
Tech Support: "Do you have call waiting?"
Customer: "What's that?"

It's comforting to know that there are jobs more frustrating than mine. However, I worked in tech support during the summers in college so I've had that experience already. My brother shared this site with me. It's definitely worth reading if you're bored. I think my best tech support story was when a lady called me and told me she needed a tech right away because she had a dead computer. I asked what kind of computer was it. She said a Macintosh. I asked her if she tried pressing the power button on the keyboard. She said, "what button?". "It's on the top right corner of the keyboard." I hear a musical BONG. She says, "Um...thank you." and hangs up. I proceed to laugh for the next 5 minutes.

Have you ever heard of the World Beard and Moustache Championships? Well, let me tell you, it is just plain amazing! This is the first one in the U.S. in a long time and who knows when it will be here again. All I can say is, who's free this weekend? Ok, but seriously, I'm amazed at the serious level of growth that these guys have accomplished. Simply unbelievable! I wonder if they use some kind of hair growing hormone or something and if such a thing existed, would that be cheating??? I can't believe all these people from all over the world are coming to Carson City, Nevada to participate in this. I didn't even know there were individual beard and moustache clubs. I noticed there weren't any Asian people participating (hee hee).
