Talking heads that make their living off of creating drama and controversy are all BS. The View, Joe, Rachael... all of them are BS. Newspapers less so but you gotta know the bias going in.
In Utah we used to have two really good daily papers. The Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune. Both date way back. One pro LDS church and one anti LDS church. The Des News does not really exist as a daily and I don’t think either of them print on paper. I had to read both to get the best idea of what was going on with any issue. I miss my physical papers. They sure filled up the garbage can though. I mostly ignore national news on TV, radio and podcasts. Used to listen to NPR all the time. It used to have jazz locally for lotsa hours each day. They took that off and gave us first Juan Williams, really a good interviewer, then Diane Rheme. I really disliked her. Don’t much listen to any NPR anymore. Just WBGO listen live. Good jazz.

Now i need to know what its called when the issue is imagined after an event.

When an inert even triggers customers to believe there is an issue that doesnt exist, or they notice an existing issue and assign it to the event. Some examples: You put up a notification that site A is undergoing maintenance, so a customer on Site B that is totally isolated sayas that ever since that maintenance, there has been a problem. We did a mass change of our defalt WPA keys on managed routers. Probably 1 percent of the customers claimed that "ever since the change" there has been some issue. Changing they WPA key wont impact performance. I just completed a network wide rate plan naming convention change, every non custom account will have anew name for their rate plan on their invoice. this had zero service impact, its just clerical, but as the bills go out, probably 1 percent (probably that same 1 percent) will call in with an "ever since the change" complaint. Im not looking to argue with the customer as to whether there is an issue or not, Im simply looking for the name of the phenomenon. Id like to incorporate this into tier 1 support training so that this doesnt continually generate nuisance escalations. Some reference material on it would be the bees knees. Everything has a name, like Petrichor: the way it smells outside after rain or Phosphenes: the lights you see when you close your eyes and press your hands to them. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
