    Did call centre work for years and per policy we had to try and get screen sharing set up (had to keep a specific fruity tech company happy since they spent so much money buying a company that made screen sharing software). I’d always do the same thing each and every call.

    -Ask if they rebooted. Listen to them lie to me that they did right before calling me.
    -Set up screen sharing.
    -Query the system and see it currently has a 184 day uptime.
    -Force a reboot while questioning my lifes goals.












  • Partially off-topic but I rarely get the chance to tell this story:

    My old man was a porn hound. Talking wall of VHS tapes. You know what I’m picturing, that was his living room. Had 4 VCR’s hooked up at once with several switches, a few switchboards for colour and audio correction, whole 9 yards. Lost an eye when I was a kid so always wanted to make his viewing ‘optimal’ for him.

    What he’d end up doing was go down to the local Variety Video, rent 5-6 tapes, come home, and dub em over the weekend. Then once dubbed, remove the label with some heat, open the cassettes (the og and the copy he made) and swap the reels so he’d have the original one (which would be ever-so-slightly better quality than the copy he made, again, cause of his sight). Then seal em up, return the copy and no one was the wiser. Did this for close to 15 years before the place closed down (for unrelated reasons) and had his huge wall of big titty wank material for years to come lmao.
