Wishful thinking.

Today was perhaps one of the worse days so far this year. Ranked right up there with the daily, "I dont want to go to work." day and the "Could things get any worse" day.

"Today would be a good day for all the stupid people in the world to spontaneously combust. With my luck, however, I would be the first one to burst into flames, and the rest of you poor sods would be out of a job."

I had to go into deep stupid mode today to explain the distinct difference between a modem, a router, an ethernet cable, and a usb cable and where each one of them plug in. Honestly, when I use terms such as "The ethernet cable has a large phone like plug on one end, with a cable color that is usually grey, but can be blue, black, yellow, while and even green." I usually expect the person I am speaking to to understand that 'Oh, this cable is the ethernet cable.' Guess what, this gal just didnt get it. Then I explained the finer difference between her modem, the box with 5 lights, three cables in the back and is clearly marked RCA. she kept farting around with her d-link router. At this time, I was close to giving up when she had a sudden flash of insight and she realized that she was monkeying around with her stuff and plugged it all back in wrong. Problem solved right? wrong. she then demanded credit for the fact that she was without service for 2 days, and she had to wait 1 hour to talk to someone. I happily told her that I could not give credit to her services because everything was working according to our tools and it was not our fault that things were not reconnected right.

Hope you bring marshmallows and chocolate and graham crackers.
