Today's "dear god, I actually work here" moment...

[CEO & customer support service dude (CSSD) walk out of the CEO's office after a conversation]

CEO : Well, can we do that?
CSSD : I don't know.
CEO : I'll tell you what. See what you can find out.
CSSD : Hey, maybe [Malcolm] knows. I'll ask him.
Me : [dreading inevitable & probably dumbass question]
CSSD : In e-mail, how do you make the subject and the from bold?
Me : Huh?
CSSD : When you're in Outlook & you see your inbox, can you make it so that your subject & from is bold?
Me : You mean when you send an e-mail & someone else receives it in Outlook, you want your subject and from lines to remain bold in the window?
CEO : Here, let me show you.
[All three of us walk into the CEO's office]
CEO : [points to an e-mail w\ bold subject & from lines] Like this one here.
Me :[mentally laughing my ass off] Uh, have you opened that one yet?
CEO : No, why?

Tell him it means he's got a virus and he needs to reformat his hard drive.

Tell him it means he's got a virus and he needs to reformat his hard drive.

I was thinking of the time when Dilbert was trying to fix his boss's connection. The wire was twisted & shit so Dilbert tells him that information being transmitted is just 1s & 0s. The 1s can make it thru, but the 0s have a hard time. His boss then proceeds to untangle the wire.

It then cuts to Dilbert & Wally talking.

Dilbert : I think next week I'll tell him his token ring was lost in the Ethernet.
Wally : You are the wind beneath my wings.

I don't've to spend a week trying to figure out why my vodka bottle won't open. I sure as fuck don't need to go thru a half-correct stack trace to find the reason.

I liked the one where his mouse was broken, so tech support had him move his desk around.

Incredible. The only saleschick is leaving. This leaves us w\ a grand total of ZERO salesfolk.

Fuck know how they'll stay in the web advertising biz w\o selling add'l advertising, but it'll be nice to've the average IQ of the office go up a point or two.

Speaking of Malcom's jobs...
Malcolm, have you tried TGN1412 during your guinea pig job? Because if you did I have some bad news.

Posted: **Mon Jul 31, 2006 2:10 pm**

Never did shit for them. Course, I stopped being a professional guinea pig about a year ago.

Holy Christ. Her plan is to become a music journalist for some gimmicky magazine about bands & shit coming to Minneapolis. & it sounds like a significant amount of cash is being sunk into it. The dudes running it sound a bit touched in the head.

Reasoning is that the bands booked to play up here aren't hyped up or promoted well enough. Goddamn, this is gonna die. Even major sporting events that aren't hockey-related get shit for coverage.

Just see if you can get in long enough to suck the funds out... then be far enough away when it implodes.

Does that count as a business plan?

Yea, but she's pulling this shit w\ a couple kids in tow. She's neither mobile nor does she've the necessary time it sounds like this shit'll take.

Btw, we're hiring a new sales drone if anyone cares.

The atmosphere of impending doom around the office was rather prophetic today. Got fucking axed cos one of the key investors yanked his cash.

Sorry to hear that.

On the other hand, your job did suck, no?

As of late, it's been affording me opportunities to work on other projects & shit. When I wasn't working on work, it wasn't that bad. But, yea, it wasn't my favourite place to go. I was given loads of leeway w\ deadlines (if I'd any at all), I was generally left the fuck alone as long as I was typing into an emacs window.
