A Prank Call a Friend Recieved...

My friend got a prank call today...this is something along the lines of how he said it went:

Friend: Hello?

Prank Caller: The squirrels.

Friend: The what?

Prank Caller: Those damn squirrels are watching me.

Friend: Uh…ok...

Prank Caller: Oh yes, the squirrels have nested on my telephone line, and they watching me while I’m sleeping…

Friend: I’m sure they’re not.

Prank Caller: You calling me a liar?

Friend: **** off, you *** ****.

Obama is our new President. Anybody know any good jokes? I remember when Bush was elected...there was no shortage of jokes then...

**Note I am not opposed to Obama. I hope that he can bring all of this change of which he speaks. No more politics on this blog.

Movie Madness

Somehow, I managed to watch three movies today even though it was a normal day of school.

Persepolis
Defiance
The Women

The first two were both amazing. Truly. I haven't seen movies like them in a long, long time. If you have not seen them, see them now. NOW.

Persepolis is a true story about a girl growing up in the revolutionary Iran.
Defiance is a true story about a group of Jews hiding from the Nazis in a forest for four years and their lives during this time.
The Women is about four friends, one of whose husband is cheating on her, blah blah, not really my type of movie...I'm not even sure how I got to watching it...

Alaska Young Memorial Day

She will be missed.


If you don't know who Alaska Young is, read John Green's Looking for Alaska. You won't regret it.


Then, since you're probably not a nerdfighter, go to http://www.brotherhood2.com/index.php/?m=200701&paged=4 and start watching the videos in chronological order.

(The Customer Is) Not Always Right --- An Old Story

Just A Little Closer…

Computer Store | Oregon, USA

(A customer purchased a copy of a popular anti virus program. About 2 hours later I received a phone call.)

Me: “Thank you for calling ****, how can I help you?”

Customer: “I just bought a **** anti virus program from your store, and it’s not working.”

Me: “What about it isn’t working? Did you install the program?”

Customer: “It’s not interfacing with my system.”

Me: “Not…interfacing? I’m not sure I understand what the problem is.”

Customer: “I set the box next to my computer, and it’s not doing anything at all. Nothing is happening on my computer! This program is defective.”

Me: “Um…well, you have to open the box and insert the CD into your computer, then install the program before it will run.”

Customer: “WHAT?! How do I do that?”

Me: “…”

Final Cut Pro Woes

Why doesn't FCP accept Mpeg-2 videos??? Oh Noes!!!

(The Customer Is) Not Always Right --- A New Story

Always Imitated, Never Duplicated
Bookstore | Boston, MA, USA


Customer: “Do you have a copy of **** in stock?”

Me: “Yes, we do. Would you like me to put it on hold for you?”

Customer: “Yes. Also, I was emailed a coupon that I’d like to use to buy that book, but my printer is broken. Is there anything you can do?”

Me: “Sure, just write down the coupon code and the amount you’ll be saving. As long as we can verify these two things in the system, our computers will allow the discount.”

Customer: “Should I draw the bar code for you?”

Me: “I’m sorry? Come again?”

Customer: “Would it help if I drew the bar code?”

Me: “No…the coupon code will do just fine.”

Customer: “Thanks!”
