"Me: So in the next 60 seconds, your box will turn off. Please tell me when that happens.
Customer: Ok.
[2 minutes pass]
Me: The box isn't turning off?
Customer: Yeah, it's off."

After doing tech support for half a decade I have concluded that the average human attention span is shorter than 60 seconds.

grr...

Don't just assume that you are right. Verify with the best tools available and if you are wrong, change your mind and you will become right.

It's like you could put a virus in there and they wouldn't notice until you tell them.

losing the scrabble tournament finals at my college because I got a lousy starting deck AIIIEEM and we were playing without replacement turns. also my opponent played VERY aggressive and kept making blocks of words.

It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

Uh huh. Go on and make a word other than "me" or "am" from those. I started, by the way, and for the next 5 turns I drew only vowels. I'm not sure how I could be blaming the letters themselves but anyone can tell you there is a measure of luck to Scrabble.

The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.

Also, aim.

I actually work out the answers to all the questions for the weekly biochem MRT, and give it to my seminar group, and all I get is "Couldn't you have done that faster?"

Actually someone volunteered to do this if he received 500Ft per person (our year consists of 213 students, and about 1.60€ per person adds up) and we already paid. Essentially I only started working on it 2 hours before posting it to my group, since the responsible guy didn't do his responsibility...

Trying to go to sleep but unable to go to sleep ... even with sleeping pills.

Professors that change things in the middle of the current week for homework / assignments ... just ... great.

I haven't been to a favourite forum of mine, which I am very active on, in 3 weeks. The more I put it off, the more scared of information overload I am, so I put it off more...  :no:
