Error between brain and keyboard

From a jewelry designer to me: "What kind of design would you use these beads in?"

Me: "I'm actually not sure, because I don't make jewelry, just beads."

Maybe that is not really a strange question? I was just a little stymied. Seemed sort of like a fine woodworker asking a logger what to do with a piece of wood.

What indeed. ;)

Well, Shel could certainly tell 'em where to stick it!

An MBA student came in demanding me to fix her computer because one of my co-workers supposedly messed it up. I asked her what was wrong and she said her email didn't work, her calendar service didn't work, and her bookmarks and desktop icons disappeared.

I first enabled the email account and then went to the start menu where she then pointed out how the icons have been rearranged.

"How could you rearrange those?"

*Looks at computer for a second*

"This isn't your personal account is it?"

"Oh......*changes account*....oh, it all works now"

*facepalm*

Yep I guess I'll just have to stand over here on the left/center side, along with Arlen Specter and about 200,000 Republican defectors in Pennsylvania.

It's like those scenes in the movies where the good guys leap from the speeding train just before it falls into the ravine.

Metaphorically speaking, you've decided to stay with the engine just because someone let you play with the horn.

As for acting juvenile, there's a reason for that. Your arguments fail so totally at a rational adult level that I must seek a more childlike state to even have a chance of being suckered....er....appreciating them.

So, in a way, this is all for your benefit. Enjoy. :moon:

I reckon he could make some suggestions for the beads, too!


Rich, excellent rebuttal of UG. :lol:

Overheard at 'Barnes & Noble' -

Customer is 30-ish male in 3-piece suit, briefcase, Blackberry, ect.
C: Excuse me miss, I want to order this book, but all the computer says is 'OOP'!
E: Let me take a look at that for you. Hmm.... Seems that this book is out of print. That's why it said 'OOP'.
C: I don't care what the computer says! I want this book!
E: Well, sir, I'm sorry, but it isn't in our system. Therefore, we can't order it.
C: Don't lie to me! I have a credit card! Order the book!
E: Sir, the book is out of print. It cannot be ordered.
C: FINE!!! You people don't know what you're doing! B. Dalton will order it for me!
Customer stomps out of store, on verge of tears.

I guess having a credit card makes everything possible.

Oh god. I used to work at a book store. That happened more than you would ever imagine. The heart breaks at it.

I see that B. Dalton is smart enough to get some employee to order it used off Amazon marketplace and give it a steep markup.

Why didn't he just order online himself for 1/10th of the cost?

fixed that for ya.

Honestly, yers is betta. :lol2:

Because he has a credit card, ya big silly.

If he was really somebody he'd have sent his assistant in to the store to throw that fit for him.

Lord, I can pass on stories...where to begin?
