Spam bots will have their time, but it will be short, and terminated by vengeance.

@mattmcnutt But, it's worth mentioning that he doesn't have a different title than me. He's not "senior tech" he's just been there longer than everyone

@mattmcnutt Alright.

I'm gonna be like "in the future, just ask me, I'd prefer you don't take things from me by force, but just keep in mind that I'm eager, I'm willing, and I need something to do" (he had just finished making a call for a printer to be picked up so clearly he's not doing nothing)

@matt tbh, I feel like it's a common enough occurrence that most people won't even care to read it :/

@matt Not a problem with the user though, it's a problem with a fellow colleague

Tech1 comes in, says he's gonna take care of it. I already have only a few things I'm capable of doing here, so I resist, saying that I had already called the user this morning, and that I don't want to let the call go.

After a couple times back and forth, he says he's going to work in the other office and says "next time don't argue with me."

What do I do?

Call is in an other queue. See issue, know how to fix it, thanks to Tech1 (senior to most). TechOther is taking care of it, but fumbling. So I suggest to Tech1 that he should help TechOther out. Tech1 says nah, he'll let the guy figure it out himself.

Guy can't figure it out, tosses us the call and is assigned to Tech2. Talk to Tech2, say that I know the fix, Tech2 says I can take the call.

Lots of people on vacation this week. Can it be MORE dead than it was on Friday? I'm sure it can :p but maybe these missing people will mean MORE tickets? Idk

Partner was thoroughly surprised last night when I showed up :3 and completely appreciated the effort I made to travel (about an hour on PT)

#itsthelittlethings

I'm off to the partner's place tonight though. They don't know ;)

They've been feeling down tonight, so figured me popping in for the night would be a welcome surprise :)

Script written for the podcast episode on Tales from Tech Support 👌 this will be a recurring segment, trust me ;)

Also, I'm gonna post the full transcript on my Patreon, it's a behind the scenes thing so I figure it's not that bad :)

@maple Yeah that I realized, but I forgot that the bezel itself was curved. it's fun project to think about for certain

@maple Shit, I didn't realize the front bezel was curved 🤔 I wonder how likely it is to be able to 3D print a modified faceplate that would fit properly

@maple One day

@maple I was thinking of modding a G3 with a gaming PC inside and an LCD screen

@maple awwe shiet, Ruby was always my favourite of the colours

@maple The one with the disc tray, or the one with the disc slot?

@maple whoa, a G3 keyboard??

@notclacke awww man great song! Added to my spotify 👌
