A similar story here. Were I worked has an IT Helpdesk. I called them one day to say my email wasn't working. The girl on the other end said no problems, just send me an email with the details of the problem and we'll sort it out...
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/04/2005 10:09:30 pm >>> One of my clients has got me setting up their ADSL and getting their internet connections set up for them. I was talking to their ISP today, about when the ADSL line would be operative. "Oh about 7-10 days.." the guy said. I said "thats a bit long, but if that's how long it takes I'll have to live with it. How will I know when the line is active?" I asked. I know that one way to tell is when the modem starts to wink at us, then that's how I'll know, but I was kind of hoping I'd get him to agree to calling us or something. He said "we'll send you an email to let you know it's working." I swear he said that totally deadpan, not kidding, he was serious about it. I laughed and said "you what??" He said "we'll send you an email when it's active to you can set up your modem on the line then." He was perplexed when I started laughing out loud. I said " do you know what you just said? Does that seem at all strange to you?" "No. Why?" I said "Are you related to the Telstra person who told me once that if I had a problem with my phone just give him a call." He sounded puzzled and said 'No sir, I have no relatives at Telstra at all." I swear that's how it went. He's a half-wit and doesnt even know when he's being funny. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
