Bio: Tired. So very tired. Left the phones when I left Big Blue in early 2003. Have been doing hardware repair on desktops and laptops. I feel so sorry for these machines that have suffered such abuse from end users. From cracked LCD screens to spyware galore to tar from cigarettes covering every internal surface. I really should start a shelter for abused systems.

How come you call yourself "SWEDISHchef"? Just curious... -Dr Jerkyl
what did u just mean by Somebody go check the thermostat. It just got chilly down here in Hell. :-) ? -postal tech
Thanks for your kind words! I always appreciate the support this site provides. -TechOgre
Hi! Just read your post...congrats on the new job! My helpdesk was outsourced to Big Blue and I am going to be working for them starting in a couple of weeks (didn't really have a choice in the matter, other than to become unemployed). Would you mind sharing with me your opinion of Big Blue, no matter if it's positive or negative? You can email me at Jenzkind@insightbb.com. Thanks! -Jenzkind
Yoodi -herdy- gurdy -hurg! (Sweedish chef speak for "Hi, how ya doin'?" -lineswine
s.c., colene does have my prayers. TSC is more than just a rant group...it really is a community. -mousie
Love your star. Goes very well with the toque. -Rabbitt
Oooooh! What a "mighty purdy" star you got there, chef! -lineswine
I feel I've made the grade. My name was mentioned in a post by the one and only SwedishChef. I've been lurking for a lot longer than I've been a member and I did wonder where you had been. Glad you are back. BTW. The Star looks great on both your Canadian touque and the chef toque. Yeah, had to check it out 'cause I thought I'd misspelled it. -Rabbitt
Congrats on the Star!!!! -duckhead
I take it you like doing things the hard way... Dicing starfish for the bonfire seems like a waste of time. Sacrificing them over an altar made of old hardware produces just as much karma ;) -garwain
Greetings, nice to see a new face on the site. -EggShen
I only -wish- those stories were fewer and farther between. Honestly, I just got off another LOVELY postable call...-Tristis -tristis
It was 72 - but it warns that a few of the questions may not be graded, ther for research. Most of them were recognizable from the TestKiller practice questions, but TestKiller answers are wrong. I figure I'm ready when I can identify and explain the wrong ones. -satanstech
Used to know Mary Gentle slightly years ago though that is not the reason I read her books <g> The one I was reading was "Sundial in a Grave" which I liked. Warning though "Grunts" is very different to all her other books but if you want to try I heartly recommend her last one to start off with "Ash" (it came out as one massive volumme in the UK but was split up into a few books in the USA. . . Do Yanks have more delicate wrists?) You might also want (or not) to look up "Roxanna Morgan" who is her pen name for "erotica" -Zoomer
Great stories lately. Really nice to see you putting that star to good use. -Rabbitt
Hey, Chef, can you e-mail me at riffraff(a)wizardslab.net, please? I've got a question for you that you might be able to help me with. Thanks, Riff -RiffRaff
did I mention my tongue is peirced?? ^-* I'm a horrid tease sometimes -Gwynnthiere
SC - You should find yourself a picture of Barf from You Can't do that on Television... :D BTW I will be in TO this weekend :S. -compaq42
This may be really old, and possibly already answered, but I was just looking at Crysanna's whiteboard, and Thought i'd let you know it was Chrysania in Time of the Twins - she was the cleric who fancied Raistlin -Shaede
I like water....a LOT. It gets me very excited and a lot of the techs around here like to squirt me with a watergun while on a call to watch me regain my composure. -Gwynnthiere
Yep, still do, just send the info to me. -Sien
What if I beg? Would you let me go if I beg? ;) -mousie
Hey there...saw from your latest post your worked for Symantec...how long ago did you leave? -RainbowBoy
Re: Soapbox and Breakroom question. I personally think those stories should still be posted as stories in the main area. I look forward to seeing more. -Rabbitt
For some reason, the private message thing on the message board doesn't like me, and crashes my firefox at every attempt. Of course you can add me, I've added you, but I don't generally go online much. -Dragones
Hi 'Chef, there's a pm waiting for you. Let me know if you can't retrieve it. -Gromit
Hey SC... do you get on Yahoo anymore? I just added you based on your message board profile info, but I'm not sure if it worked or not... anyway, email me sometime... all of my info in my message board profile is current. :) -EagleEye
Chef, do you know that July-August issue of Scanorama (SAS inflight magazine) contained an article about the original Swedish Chef? See http://www.sasmedia.se/Article.jsp?x=999&y=0&category=7&version=27968 I did read the article then but has my SF moment and didn't snatch the mag so could post you a copy :( -NordicPT
Huh. All this time and I never realized you were a fellow (now former) Eye Bee Emmer. For some reason, mentioning PC Doctor in your latest Kenny tale convinced me to look it up... -DarkTanz
Still looking for a Shari from Belleville? -Loyalist
Read old posts and would like to hear from you-livin large in the T.O.-hope all is well and have a funny story for you! -Loyalist
I live in ON if you're looking to dropkick that cow-irker and garner a newer, more intellectually inclined person. ;) -Torinir
heh, I see you are also in Toronto. Me - west central near the subway line. I note you fix up poor abused notebooks. If I see those, will send YOUR way! -Mysty
The Starfish genes may be rerssesive, from your current position, I dare say that you sir are no Starfish. Luke may be Vader's son, and we all know how that turns out. -RandalGraves
Thanks for the Adonis flag - it's nice to be able to use some of this "useless trivia" I for some reason remember! -Grue
Parent of an autistic child, eh? What's your opinion on the whole mercury/immunizations controversy? I'm an uncle to an autistic kid & always trying to learn as much as I can. -QuinTech
Damn man that bites, we had a desktop position open if you wouldn't mind moving to the middle of the divided states of america....may also have a net admin position open but not sure -Olorin

We could color kenny any shade you like. we also have the parking lt gear. sharp pointed metal objects, with cross peices and pommels. could we join you in South Parking kenny? -Harm
Got the bunny ears crossed and rubbing the magic bunny foot for all I'm worth for ya Chef. -Rabbitt
New job karma is on the way! -halfstarfish
Many happy returns on Mrs SwedishChef's birthday - and I hope you two have a long and happy life together. Today is - would have been - my husband's 51st birthday. Celebrate life! -MamaTech
Hey Chef, any luck with the job hunting? -Shane
Sorry I missed Mrs Chef's birthday! Please give her belated well-wishes from me. -BritishBunny

My apologies for being so late. Please forward my belated happy birthday wishes to your better half. -Rabbitt
Er... What's a LRAT, 'Chef? Is it a clue-X-4 for dyslexics? <hysterical giggle> -Gromit
Happy Birthday Big-Guy...lol..you realize I love you right? You just made my entire day with this silly bullshit. -The Coyote
I see you have sold out, left the starfish behind, and taken up modeling http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=906&showAllImages=0 - This is not quite how i imagined you to look... ;) -Wonko The Sane

I'm older than you are, trust me on that one:) Hope that you have a marvelous birthday. -THETECHFROMHELL

Just thought I'd remind you to check when your star expires. Could be in about 18 days? -Anon

Hey - SwedishChef, where you been hiding ? - We are all getting hungery here, as you have not left a decent meal for us for ages... - don't tell me, your on the run from Beaker and Bunsen, after their experiments with Miss Piggy and Kermit - I saw that story a while back about the Green Piglets... -Wonko The Sane
