New kid in the IT department is fresh from an “IT support training institiute.” But pilot fish isn't so sure about the training when the kid spots a pile of old hard drives in the hardware repair shop, waiting to be recycled. “He fetched up a Seagate hard drive and asked if it was 56K or 33.6K,” sighs fish. “We told him it was much faster – a DSL disk drive.”
...and to think i'm going to be working with people like that soon.
*Shakes head*
i can't wait.

We've had some of those. Hell some of our current field techs are almost as bad. My favorites were the fresh MCSE certified "techs". They knew how to install windows and login and that's about it. Of course they thought they knew everything, had the ego to prove it and were expecting 60k a year because they read a few books and passed a test on them. Man there was a flood of them a few years back. I think the longest one of them lasted here was about four weeks.
What's bumming me out is I'm not the youngest one anymore - well I am but not like I used to be. There was a time when the interns that I was training and showing the ropes were years older than me. Not so much anymore - of course they don't give me interns anymore - since the "incident".
Oh well - at least I'll get to retire before I'm 50 (assuming I stay government).

Hot Dayum girl! You look like you're 19 at the most. I guess you have been blessed with youthfull genes... 
I also second what Xng said about the blonde. I usually don't like blonde on anyone very much, even on natural blondes. You, however, pull it off beautifully!

On our first day of class, someone asked one of my high school teachers if there would be any quizzes. He said, "No, I don't give quizzes. I just give little quizzicles."
So I asked him if there would be tests.

As a kid me and my younger brother were roughhousing and some how my head collided with the radiator. The blood when everywhere and he’s been paying for that one in pain for a long time.

I just finished the entry level testing for working in the tech support/customer service call center for Verizon Wireless. I passed, so I get an interview next Wednesday morning. If that goes well, I could be joining the ranks of the other customer-service-line-answering-people who hang out here. I'd ask you all to wish me luck, but I figure I'll need to ask for it after I get the job ...
as in "Good luck keeping your sanity!" :-)

The craziest thing about it is that there are people out the who really think like this. Now if that doesn't give you a reason to paws and think about it ...
(yeah, I know ... stinky pun ... *Bad Ben ... Bad, Bad, Bad! ... No Cookie!*)

Wise Child, did you read it? The spoof factor should be obvious once you get a paragraph or two into it. And seriously, most of the religious freaks I know believe animals do NOT have souls. It's just funny ... take it at that.
If I'd thought it was serious, I would have posted it in Religion! 8@^@8

The Onion is amazing...if you get the chance, read their article about Marilyn Manson going door to door in the middle of nowhere, trying to freak out the community. It's pretty funny!

"Look at me, suburban dung," Manson told Wesley. "Does this shock you?"
When Wesley replied no, he said Manson became "petulant." Recalled Wesley: "He started stamping his feet and shaking his fists, saying, 'What do you mean no? Aren't your uptight, puritanical sensibilities offended? Don't you want to censor me so you don't have to confront the ugly truth I represent?' So I say, 'Well, not particularly.' Then, after a long pause, he says, 'Well, screw you, jerk!' and walks off sulking."

That is the best. "Screw you, jerk!" Looks like he found the open-minded side of Kansas...
