Dear $Luser
No can do.
Especially if you want to send a 2Gb attachment via email. Just forget it, mkay?
Use dropbox or SFTP. Not email.

Oh whoops. I forgot to assign a wifi password to said luser in the post above.
Asked $hr_drone, but she referred me to the CFO and CIO.
HRās job is to keep IT informed regarding contractors and new employees requiring company resources. Not my job, I dont know who theyāre hiring and all that jazz.

Maybe you should read the email more carefully before telling me you wonāt be around for it and getting snarky. Email says āEastern Timeā not Pacific so unless youāre leaving at 12pm today, youāre going to be around for it.
And if youāre going to tell me that we have other issues to discuss and you canāt bring up solid evidence of it in writing when I asked you politely, then youāre just a moron and I called you on your bluff.

So the sales department is now going to work closely with the service department to make sure sales are completed properly. Rather novel concept that I wish had been put in place about 10 years ago.

Iām sorry your cat is sick. Your cat that you love so much but let run around outside and donāt keep vaccinated. The cat you let run around in your yard fully of various flowers and plants, some of which are toxic to cats. Iām sorry your cat is in kidney failure. Iām sorry you are out of money, and that your credit card companies have closed all your accounts for non-payment. And Iām especially sorry you are delusional enough to tell me all of this and then loudly and aggressively wonder why I wonāt accept payments. Why am I so sorry? Because my kids are at home hungry and Iām stuck here an hour after close listening to you whining. Nobody poisoned your cat. Heās just sick. Iāve given you options. Pick one.
(Iām really not heartless. But when you come in, curl up in the fetal position while Iām examining your cat, cry - literally! - about our prices, and then berate us for not having the same billing policy as your REGULAR vet - who, by the way, was unavailable to see you because they have limited hours - you wonāt get much sympathy from me. Grow a pair and be an adult.)

Iām sorry to hear that you had to go through that. It must be awful feeling sympathy for the poor cat that you want to help, but canāt. In the words of Juui Dolittle (Juui means veterinarian in Japanese) āVeterinary wa bijiness daā or āVeterinary is a businessā. Unfortunately, you have to keep the lights on, the staff paid, plus medicine and equipment costs.
Exactly what is a vet going to do? sheās already demonstrated that she wonāt take care of her cat. A vet doesnāt have a magic wand to make everything āall betterā - thereās also everything the pet owner has to do to improve the catās health.
Yes, I feel bad for the cat, and I hope his/her passing is gentle and pain-free. But the owner has to take some responsibility - and it sounds like that would kill her.
Man that sucks. I feel for you MSUAlexis. I could never understand those people though. Iāve always made sure to take care of my furry family. There were times when I went hungry so Dannon could eat. And a good vet is a great find. I get that itās a business but I want a vet that really feels for the animals like I do. When Tom had his teeth out and was in their care over the weekend, one of the staffers called to check up on him afterwards. They didnāt need to, but they thought he was the sweetest thing and wanted to make sure he was okay. That was great. And when Dannon died, they made sure to not jump me for the bill as I was walking out. They took care of everything before hand so I could focus on his last time.
You meant well, but I gotta tell you, being told I did a good job on something and then finding out it was for attending a meeting is kind of depressing. I donāt know if that was the best thing you could come up with or if Iām doing so poor at my job that it was the only thing you could come up with for a compliment.

Dear $luser
You moaned about some permissions when trying to copy a file from a network drive to your desktop.
Please provide me with the file name and the path to the file so I can have a shufty at the permissions for you.
My crystal ball is in for a major service.

This new userās last name is Medina. You have no idea how much I wanted to set him up in AD as Funky Cold Medina.
Iāll just leave this here. I assure you, it gets plenty cold there in the winter.
Although itās pronounced med-EYE-na
Yeah, thanks, thatās stuck in my head nowā¦
āAināt no plans with a manā
Thatās not right. This is the only Medina. (Also pronounced med-Eye-na)
Au contraireā¦ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medina
