My net has been randomly dropping all day and I just got off the phone w/ the most stoned out of his fucking gourd Time Warner Cable (err.. Spectrum) rep I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with..

Part of our convo:

Him: There is still an outage, but its only minimum.. Y'know we consider an outage as 80% below in your area are.. are uhh, what do you call this.. or I mean, 80% are connected - 20% are not connected. It should be 81% above, for the outage to be cleared.. Hold on.. Lets see.. Ok, <address redacted> - OK.. There is still a pocket outage in <city>

Me: Oh ok, so maybe they're just working on the lines and knocking me off every once in a while.

Him: That's probably it.. y'know theres still information here that - y'know in your area its like 80% .. 87% are connected - not all of them. So they're working in someone.. customers connection too. Just one moment I'm checking further. Yupp, it shows here minor outage. Just minor. Give me one moment.. just gonna load it up.. yeah there's still some of the customers in the area are not connected.. But you are connected! But they're still trying to repair for this one to get stable.. I'm just going to send out a signal

<random bullshit about "repairing the connection">

Him: And uh, just remember the outage is already solved.. yeah it was like, uh, declared - they declared an outage like.. 2 days ago, orrr yesterday, something like that. And they resolved it, already. But there are some customers that still affected by this kind of outage. This might be, uhh, the reason also your wire connection is also up and down. But there is no outage anymore! But don't worry, eventually, within like - probably today - this one is going to get better.

y'ALL make sure to add requester PeePoo to your OW

 

Things that make me laugh at work - My client's name is Barry Rosenthal. His e-mail address naturally starts with "brosenthal", which immediately leads me to thinking about a Jersey Shore d-bag with a yarmulke.

 

best laugh I've had all week, great response

 

They don't seem to be on Endor, so I'm returning mine.

These are massively underpaid.

That isn't true. Our lord and savior Scoutit is overpaid and he makes up almost half of the work on mturk it seems.
