Do you know what you're doing?

B&Q's (diy.com) 8:40am

Me: "Can you move out the way love so I can scan these items."
Wife: "I need to watch you with these you can never seem to work them!"
Me: o_O

Three items in.

Me: "Bubb what are you doing? Don't touch anything, you can't pick anything up till I've finished!"
Wife: "Don't talk rubbish."

Beep Beep Beep
[PLEASE WAIT FOR AN ASSISTANT! ITEM REMOVED FROM BAGGING AREA!]

Me: "I told you not to touch it."

A minute or so later the misses fed the machine with £20 notes.

 Me: "Bubb where you going?"
Wife: "Tsk I have my change."
Me: "Wait for your notes out the bottom."

Out popped a £5 note, seems I do know how to work them? :-D

Customer: "We just assumed they'd sort it out, I have no idea where that tapes are by the way" Me: "So you've not had a backup for two years then?" Customer: "Suppose not." Oh dear looks like you'll need a new backup solution how about a snapshot automated with a cron job?

Me: "There is a fault call at xxxx they cant get on the O: drive and xxxx cant send emails". Engineer: "xxx was dealing with that he should be back soon". Me: "No he won't I have already given him three additional jobs so I doubt he will be back till late so you will have to deal with it" Engineer: "Their Broad Band is down". Me: "That'll do it, have we rung them?" Engineer: "No not yet". Me: "Well lets ring them then" Engineer: "Oh Their Broad Band isn't down its the server thats down". Me: "That's why they cant get on the O: drive then, here's a thought ring them and get them to reboot!" So initially it was a case of "How the hell can I get out of doing this?" with this in mind a slap dash approach was instigated.

I am so attached

Customer: "I can't open an attachment on an email" Me: "I thought you had winzip installed?" Customer: "I do but the icon in the attachment won't open" Me: "Hang on you can open the attached zip file then?" Customer: "Yes but the word icon inside is not opening" Me: "Can you right click it please, what's it say in the property's?" Customer: "shortcut to O:/Customers/quotes/blahblah" Me: "They've sent you the shortcut not the file ask them to send the document" So we have two Muppets, the one who sent the shortcut and the recipient who doesn't know what a shortcut is.
