thank you EVER so much for calling.

my head is still reeling from the sheer volume of calls we received this morning. there were SIX of us on duty, and for a couple of hours we were ALL hopping from one call to the next.

and we REALLY hit the bottom of the barrel on lusers. i spent most of the time looking like invader zim when his brain was replaced by a piggy.

lowlights:

man giving himself tech-support. he called up and described the problem. i told him to tell me if he could see a yellow bar in the upper section of his browser window. he spent the next five minutes talking to himself (not giving me a moment to butt in), saying things like "yellow bar. yellow bar. i see <insert whatever he sees>, but i can't click on it. i see icons. yellow bar. i see - wait, this looks like it could be it - no. no. what was i looking for again? ah, yes. yellow bar. yellow bar..."

i HATE people who tell me why they've called... especially when they take forever to figure out what it is. "hi, i've called because i'm taking this... uh... i'm doing a... er... um... are you familiar with this software?"

some guy, after i helped him, asked me where we were situated. we're not supposed to tell them. when i explained this, he told me that my accent sounds australian, and he really likes it. good for you, buddy. fuck off.

some woman called me, sounded rather ghetto. and most incompetent. in the middle of the call, i registered her nickname: "bubba".

there were plenty more. and the other guys had just as many. we decided that the panel company had gone all out on this one. these were hand-picked for low iq.

i did get to watch a few fights during the night. bas rutten is fucking insane. i wanna know if he actually fought rickson gracie, and what the outcome was. genki sudo is also brilliant. i really would like to learn to fight like that.

i got a ride most of the way home, and crashed as soon as i got near the bed. it's now too late to use the busses, so i'm going to have to blade home. not only do i need supplies for the weekend, but i have some work to do as well. and i don't really feel like moving right now.
