This is not VH1 Storytellers. I don’t have time right now to listen to you spin a yarn and ramble. Get to the point.
Even with a preview I make terrible spelling and typo mistakes. There is a reason I wondered about my roommate’s sanity when he used me to proof his essays in college.
It is usually easier to spot errors others do than your own mistakes.
Oh, not for me. Usually they are glaring and then some klaxon starts before I can even begin to correct it.
How about you keep clicking your pen so we can all direct our rage at you…
Yes, I’m “back again” and yes, it’s “broke again” because I’m obviously such an incompetent technician that I can’t fix it the first time. Or in your mind, before I even arrive on site. Yes, go right ahead and get me a desk here because I’m not going to put in the extra effort to fix the ongoing problems that no one else has taken the time to fix. I’ll just do the minimum amount of work to make it work, just like everyone else.
I know you’re making the same tired jokes that everyone else says in situations like this, but have you considered the fact that when you say things like this, you are denigrating my abilities as a technician? Doesn’t matter if I 've never been here before or have had to continue what I started before. That “joke” has worn very thin over the years.

We have a 25 year old in our group. My son is older than she is.
Get off my darn lawn!
I love how you’re on “Do not Disturb” status all day long and yet, I call you, and you mention that you’re not up to anything. FFS, people might actually need to get a hold of you. And, if anything, it just makes me want to bother you more. Don’t be an asshat. Change your status to “Busy” or something.
My status for chat at work is Not not licking toads.
So… are these the hallucinogenic kind?
One of the CSRs I interact with in our Support group ALWAYS leavs his status as “away”… even when he’s there. Kinda defeats the purpose. Since he only signs in when he’s at work, and is always “away,” everyone just ignores it, and IMs him when they need to.
It’s a reference to a Simpsons episode where Homer goes on a missionary trip to escape hordes of angry public broadcasting boosters. At one point, he calls home and Marge asks if he’s been licking toads again. “I’m not not licking toads.”
I just realized that reference may be older than some of my coworkers.

Either Simpsons are really, really old by now… or… checking wikipedia, oh holy fu… 25 seasons? Here I was going to say that your employers may be breaking some child labour laws, but seriously, they are old enough to get very drunk, legally even.
Ahh… seems I CAN crack that joke. "The Simpsons" Missionary: Impossible (TV Episode 2000) - Quotes - IMDb
That was in year 2000.
Not as old an episode as I’d feared. I could have swore it was Marge on the phone, though.
Yeah, quite a few of our soldiers now were in early elementary school on 9/11. At least they remember it.
If you’re interested in The Simpsons, head on over to the Simpsons Wiki. It’s one of several I help run, which is why my posts on the previous CoG board weren’t as frequent as they used to be.
Seriously? You find a bug in a database and you need to go back to 2011!?!?! It took 2 years to figure this out? You people are damn lucky I know my job and there is an outside chance I can restore it because whoever was running this crap before me sure as hell did not know what they were doing.
2 years to figure it out? Or 2 years to decide it was important enough to pay attention to and fix it right this time. The latter tends to be the case with $manglement around here. There are fires everywhere. Some are more controlled then others. Only when it serves the potential to burn the whole forest down does it get the water.

I did not spend 80% of today un-fscking my computer thanks to KB2858725.
What are you whining about? You’re already there, just upload the @#$!ing document! It takes all of 2 minutes! No, you’d rather waste your time and breath defending your laziness and calling for a meeting to discuss whether or not you’re supposed to follow the rules.
FFS, lazy people sure put effort into defending their laziness.
So one of my PTO weeks, which is “use it by the end of the year or lose it”, which I put in for in advance, might be getting cancelled because all of a sudden we have to bring additional people on and you arsebandits are too cheap to pay for a dedicated trainer. Fsck off.
Aren’t there laws against that?
