zone, is ure sig advertising?

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I don't see it either. Maybe Taw himself deleted it.

y that is true, i have deleted it. it was turning from entertainment for everyone else into me just b*tching, which was not what I originally intended and must have become boring. When things go awry I usually do trash em and start over. If you genuinely enjoyed it I can start over and keep to the point this time.

yea please do....i am sure no one has anything bad to say about them

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else theres Blastercard!

I agree, I found the thread quite entertaining...

It has been one of the last things that I would do before leaving work, kinda like a nice pick-me-up so that I wouldn't take my work attitude home with me.

"On this ship you are to refer to me as Idiot, not you Captain. I mean... you know what I mean."

ok. I'll see about reviving it on Monday

right its bedtime and I'm in a better mood. so here's (briefly) today's contribution to the need for a very large asteroid to strike the Earth. I lead..

<ring ring, ring ring>

hello, IT support..

is that IT support?

<sigh> no its Goods-in.

oh i wanted IT support..

it's ME u twonk!

oh.. err.... haha ...right.

get on with it.

errr these new printer cartridges won't work

are they the wrong ones?

um... no, i've checked the packet, they're for a HP3820c

which is what I gave u

y... but they won't work

why? have u left the protective tape on the bottom or something?

<sulkily> I don't know, do I? can u come up?

oh alright then. I need a cig anyway. i'll c u in about 10mins

(this lad's office is on the other side of the site up 3 flights of stairs in an unheated warehouse, no lift. I have to walk across the main yard which is BIG in the rain that's just started. it's freezing. I get splashed by a fork-lift truck. have to walk past this weird bloke, one of the warehouse labourers, who's really creepy. he' standing in the pouring rain staring into space. when i get there the pr*ck who called me keeps me waiting outside his office until he's finished grovelling on the phone to the Operations Director. I'm not happy)

hiya m8! sorry about that <cheesy cheesy grin grrrrrrr>

y whatever. what's up with these cartridges then?

won't work m8, here look!

(hands me UNOPENED packet of HP cartridges. I cannot speak for a moment)

is this the packet I gave u yesterday?

y m8! <cheesy grin again. just u keep smilin', chum>

and u say they don't work?

y m8!

and they're still in the packet?

y m8!

<perfectly timed pause>

don't think it might have been a REALLY... GOOD.... IDEA.... to have taken them out of the packet and put them into the printer, removing the old ones first of course?

<long painful pause while this revelation sinks home, which it doesn't quite>

errrr errrrrr errrrrrrr don't they do that?

no.

I have to do it?

yes.

and they go in the printer do they?

unfortunately.

<panics> well, errrrr, ..........can't u do it, now ur here?

I have two words for u, one begins with F, the other begins with O.

@Taw: i'm guessing your wife has stopped asking "how was your day?" then


"it has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime, what better place than here, what better time than now"

Who?

oh... wife, y I remember her!

edit by me - Helpdesk Horrors will return Monday-ish after teatime, by semi-popular demand. Personally I always check out ArconTV and anything by SirSpectre, the former because it's just so verdammt entertaining, the latter because it's so very very clever.

programming changes; less swearing, more humour, reduced b*tching by me.

whats this? Taw doing what he's told?


"it has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime, what better place than here, what better time than now"

as if I wouldn't.....

IT'S BACK! thx, it was always the first thing I read and if I'd been here a while I'd probably read it again

I'll go check out the other things you mention too

Oh, as for my sig - am I not allowed to have a website there? I suppose it could be advertising but it is what it says. It's forums for civ3 like this is a forum for Free/Star-lancer

I did check the posts about sig's but I may have missed something, please let me know if I should change it. Cheers.
