normiss 900 #26 November 20, 2009 One of the provisioning techs that I support plays the mute game all the time with techs and customers on the call during provisioning turnups... I typically hear "no you fucking idiot that's NOT how DNS works!", "it's not going to come up until you plug the fucking cable in dumb ass" and other equally fireable offenses on the day his finger misses the mute button. It will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 900 #29 November 20, 2009 See the key here is to leave a greeting message so damn long nobody will make it to the end and actually LEAVE a message. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topdocker 0 #30 November 20, 2009 I had a buddy in so cal beg for a video of some of our crw dives so he could learn some of our techniques. I packed up a few of our practice tapes we had laying around, but threw in a porn video with a team label over the real one. I hadn't counted on the fact that he wanted to show his co-workers "what I do all weekend long." Apparently, he had it on the big screen in the conference room, and he couldn't get to the vcr very quickly! Luckily he had a good sense of humor about the whole thing. I never did get my tapes back....Jump more, post less! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #32 November 20, 2009 Quote Something that is really fun is when you are in a conference room on speakerphone with a bunch of co-workers, and at the other end of the call is a group of people from another company, also on speakerphone. In the middle of the call, they call for a brief time-out so they can go on mute and privately discuss the issue among themselves. Except they forget to actually put their speakerphone on mute. That makes for some really interesting listening!!! reminds me of the Naked Gun scene where the guy goes into the bathroom with his wireless mike still attached. My daily blunder for today (sort of) was after finishing my grocery shopping, I went to pick up my daughter from day care. I had a 12 pack of Newcastle Brown Ale bottles on the floor in front of the passenger front seat. Well the truck was parked that side down on a slope, and while loading the girl into the back seat, the 12 pack slid off and crashed on the pavement. All I could do was think "AW FUCK!". The paperboard package did split open, but none of the bottles broke. Thank you God!
