Randomness: the 18th sequel

I'm only a peripheral participant in this current email conversation:

Customer: "Please send me the price for the product and numeric keypads"
Us: "We have multiple product and numeric keypads. Please see the attached document and let us know which ones you're looking for, and we can get you prices." 
Customer: "I don't know. Can't you just look up what I've ordered in the past?"*
<few minutes later, before we could reply>
Customer: "Oh, I didn't see the attachment."

<few minutes later, before we could reply again>

Customer: "I don't have any of those."

Us: "Did you look at all the pages in the document?"

Customer: "Oh! I only looked at the first page. I need part X and Y." 

 

 

*we have a couple dozen different keypads, and most customer's sites will use 3-5 of them, depending on their equipment mix. So, yes, we can look up what customers have used in the past, but unless it's a small site with only 1 type of equipment, we would still be guessing in many cases.

Two Irishmen are stuck in a lifeboat. With nothing to do, they search the boat and Mickey finds a rusty, beat up old lamp under one of the seats. With nothing to lose, he rubs the lamp and a tiny puff of smoke appears as wrinkled old Genie slowly crawls out of the lamp. He looks the boys over, and says "Boys, I'm old and tired, and I've only got one wish left, so make it good." Mickey pipes up and says "I want you to turn the whole ocean into Guinness Beer!" The genie disappears and they are floating on an ocean of beer. Shamus looks around, reaches over and slaps the snot out of Mickey! "Now what did you go and do that for?" he cries. "You silly fool! Now we have to pee in the boat!"

Moving my 3d files folder over to the new drive & it's gonna take an 1 hr & 5 mins...Well now!

 

Probably a good thing I finally put the drive in as my storage drive only had less then 7 GB left on it.

Pet peeve.  

 

People who miss your call, and call you right back before waiting to see if you've left a VM. 

Especially when said VM contains the answer to their question. 


I rarely leave VM. For this very reason. 

 

Pet Peeves:

—robots who use telephones to call my cell number. 

—my phone cuts over to VM too soon, before I can answer it.

Meanwhile:

I haz hot dogs. 
 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

I did not order hot dogs
But I have them anyway —anyone missing some hot dogs?

Corned Beef and Cabbage  here, with all the trimmings, including a piper.

And a not too shabby Black and Tan.

Only downside is it wasn't Guinness but house made stout so they couldn't float the stout on top of the ale.

…and I have no beer. I did get mozzarella cheese and hot dogs even though neither of those things did I order.

I am wearing a green shirt, and I wore a plastic beaded Guinness medallion (think cheap plastic Mardi Gras beaded necklace) at work today. 

I'm having leftovers ( baked Italian chicken ) for dinner, but I do have a Guinness to wash it down with.
