Random Fail: First World Problems

**shukudai** · 2013-04-29 08:14

Started working this morning, noticed my co-worker wasn't in. Checked the schedule, and he's off for three weeks. He's also the only other experienced agent available, between myself and him we handle about 100% more calls than the other people who work later on. So, that mean's I get no breaks for 3 weeks, and our wait times will skyrocket (call for support, wait 15-30 minutes!). Good times.

so today we was half a crew short on one of our gardening teams the team leader had us work from 8am-3pm no breaks (didn't really notice since we were really busy) my manager then tells us at 3:30 "oh you guys didn't need to be on time today we was going to give you two days to do it" (after completing it all in one day) now my knee is all loose :/

Bleh today is a monday. First vendor for installation of a big server project was denied site clearance so we have to reschedule, another vendor can't follow detailed instructions to reach the back of the jail and gets completely lost.

Wow, and to add insult to injury, the replacement motherboard dell sent was bios locked.

How do you get denied access? Did the rep fail his CORI check? Haha

My part time job decided to send me to their office in another city to do scanning when they probably could have just sent all this stuff for cheaper than flying me here costs. >.> Oh well, free meals all week long, yay reimbursement.

LOL Class wouldn't tell us, but to give you an idea of the quality of this vendor, instead of scanning and emailing his damn site clearance form, he fucking took a pic of it with his phone and emailed it. Either his CORI came back with a felony or on probation, or he didn't fill everything out and the class Sergeant decided to tell him to fuck off.

First time ever a vendor since we got an IT department about 15 years ago was unable to pass clearance.

Had to fill out paperwork and get it to study abroad person, but the paperwork is retarded if you try to fill it out on the computer. I have a printer and a scanner that I never set up after updating computers two or three years ago. So I decide to print it, fill it out, scan it, and email it in. I connect the printer and windows update to install the drivers. The printer is literally retarded and can't intake paper for some asinine reason. I get out my shit laptop and set up the printer in sisters room that apparently auto installed the correct drivers.

I print the paperwork, connect the scanner, fill out paperwork. Scanner drivers can't be found, what a surprise, let's find them manually. The drivers only go up to XP, compatibility mode doesn't work. Download and install some virtual machine software to run XP to do it that way. Virtual machine needs windows xp image, proper downloads of that shit doesn't exist and all the torrents look mad sketchy. Eventually find my xp disc, install xp, and then the drivers don't even fucking work and the scanner can't be found.

I click around for half an hour until I get to something that magically reinstalls the drivers and it works. Try to scan the paperwork, and the scanner mechanism just clicks in place like it's broken. I move the scanner out and find a lock switch on the bottom that probably wasn't completely in the 'open' position. Finally the scanner works and I scan the paperwork and email it in.

I should have just filled in the damn paperwork on the computer and cropped a crappy facebook picture onto the photo section.

My first world problem of the last couple weeks was that my friend really wanted to co-op play Borderlands 2 together so much so that he bought me the game for my xbox 360. We cannot connect to any games together. We can both join a random public game hosted by someone else but I can't join his games and he can't join mine. I spend the last couple weeks researching different problems with xbox live and can't figure out what is wrong. Finally got it fixed last night. Stupid networking issues.

Had that happen to me and a friend with the Halo CE: Anniversary Edition, was pretty fucking stupid and it's only ever happened with that fucking game. Not to mention the Co-op over Live was terrible anyways because they didn't update the net framework so whoever wasn't the host was playing with like a full second input lag, made me feel like I was playing the game while having a stroke.

Yeah this is the first time I have had an issue with playing online. Now that I have it fixed though online co-op works great in borderlands 2.

Huzzah I don't have to go to dinner tonight with in laws! Now I can watch hockey!!

**Orden** · 2013-05-01 09:38

So I live in a ranch style home and recently I've felt like I've been sinking into the floor of one of my houses. Like whenever I would step and stay in place I would sink into the carpet and floor. Our carpets suck so it's not just the plushness of the carpet. Today I stepped into the entrance of my bed room, stopped for a sec, and my foot sunk ever so slightly into the floor (almost imperceptibly) but it released a sulphurous smell in a wave. It smelled like a decaying body. Who do I tell about this and who can I get to check it out. I think there is something dead in my bedroom floor. The previous home owners were kind of sketchy so I'm really sketched out.
