Tech Support: “How fast is your modem?”
Customer: “I don’t know, it’s got a Pentium chip in it.”

Recently the office manager at my clinic decided we are no longer allowed to have food delivered to the hospital during appointment hours. That wouldn’t be so horrible, if appointments didn’t run for 6 hours straight from 2 pm til 8 pm. Sometimes you just don’t have food to bring to work with you from home. And most of the time we’re too busy to go heat something up. We all think it’s stupid, and that it really isn’t presenting us in a “bad light” to clients, which is the OM’s biggest bitch. I can agree that the receptionist gets tied up for about a whole freaking minute and a half while she pays the delivery boy, but jesus! Any thoughts or stories related to Nazi leadership in your workplace?

I called a company and asked to speak to Bob. The person who answered said, “Bob is on vacation. Would you like to hold?”

One of our servers crashed. I was watching our new system administrator trying to restore it. He inserted a CD and needed to type a path name to a directory named “i386.” He started to type it and paused, asking me, “Where’s the key for that line thing?” I asked what he was talking about, and he said, “You know, that one that looks like an upside-down exclamation mark.” I replied, “You mean the letter “i”?” and he said, “Yeah, that’s it!”
