It is her wedding.
You think any different, you are wrong.
The wedding is for her.
The reception is for friends and family and the honeymoon is for the couple.
Some time later, you realize you were just there to facilitate all of it.
I got married so I could go to Disney World.
It turns out you don't have to go there just for a honeymoon.
You can also take her back there when she is knocked up.

So, this morning one of my callers informed me that I was rude and she did not like my attitude.
I told her to shut her cake hole and take a Midol.
[ma9mwah] she knew you
Actually I said "Mom, stop calling here!"
Some Days...

Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed.
You come into work, the phones are already queued up so you know it is going to be rough.
Your first caller turns out to be as excited to be here as you are, and immediately starts griping.
So, the caller goes off about how they've been looking at instructions for an hour, clicked every link and read everything on the site about how to do this one thing.
I ask a couple of questions, and the customer lies.
I finally ask "Do you see the button at the very top with the big lettering that says 'First time users click here to get started?' and did you click it?"
They said no, click it, the app pops up and they act amazed and grumble.

I don't think this is funny, it is just more of life in the skewed Dilbertian Help Desk.

I am afraid Scott Adams can't make up humor like this.

I got an e-mail telling me about an e-mail that was coming out about how to fix something.
I got an e-mail telling me to read the e-mail about the fix.
I got the fix e-mail.
I got an e-mail telling me to read the fix e-mail.
I am expecting an e-mail asking me if I read the e-mail telling me to read the e-mail that was about the fix.
I hope e-mail breaks.
First call of the day...

Caller: "Umm, yeah I can't get into my e-mail, it says the password has expired. When I try to log into the system it says the password has expired and I need to change it. If I go to the web site, it says something about a password being expired. Is there a problem with my password and could it be expired?"

Me: *click* dial-tone

I think I have a case of "The Mondays".
