Slippery words
Had to back off some generational datasets for an EU and kept saying virgin instead of version. The thing is that I didnt realize what I said until she said,"Did you just say what I think you said?". Ahhh, humm, ohh!!Iya, Iya, my freudian slip is showing ahhh I'm so sorry! My luck is she didnt take offense but asked,"what is a freudian slip?". Oh how humour can dig us into such a hole at times......

Shock the Monkey
An EU calls with a flickering monitor. She says its acting like computers do when you try to record them with a video camera. Okay...Well since its a very large office building and she was only 3 floors up I just had to see this in person. Once I found her in our cubical maze I noticed she was absolutely correct. The horizontal was oscillating up and down. No fans taped to the monitor, nothing in her cube to cause this type of interference. So I lean up against the cube wall and put a hand on the metal frame. Pzzzt! I get the sh*t shocked out of me. Another EU walks up and says hers is doing "it" too. Found an empty cube between these two gals with an old typewriter in it with one outlet prong grounded out to the cube frame. Right before I pull the plug I here EU's chirp , 'my systems down!', 'mine to!'. Ring! Hello? Hardware...2002-01-11

Co-Worker Types
1.
Look at my degrees!
This type of coworker graduated highschool at age 13, received their masters at age 21. Constantly talks about how much they know and how many degrees they have on the wall. Thinks they know everything and repeatedly tells you how they really do know everything yet an encyclopedia on CD has more personality than they do. What they really lack is the social skills to interact with anything other than a book or computer. Mixed with conceit and vanity this co-worker is a deadly breed.

Customer E-mails
1.
Subject: A real fake hoax
This email was in reference to the hoax that intices the user to delete their "Teddy bear icon". She even included the hoax instructions!
I heard about this on the Today show yesterday. It was included in the segment about computer e-mail hoaxes-but didn't catch if it was for real
or not.
