Here’s a fun one-<\/p>\n
Went to a customer’s house out by Reed College today. It took me almost a full half-hour just to find the place, despite having turn-by-turn instructions from Google Maps. Whoever designed the roads out there did so by following a drunken squirrel with no idea where he was going.<\/p>\n
ME: knock knock
\nCUSTOMER:”Hello?”
\nME: “Hi, I’m here to fix your computer. I understand you’re having trouble with the mouse and the audio.”
\nCUSTOMER:”Yes yes, come in. Here it is.”
\nME: “Hmm…wireless.” wiggle wiggle wiggle. Pop open battery compartment. “When was the last time you replaced these batteries?”
\nCUSTOMER: “Uhm…never?”
\nME: Swaps batteries. Wiggle wiggle. “That seems to have fixed that. Now for the audio.” Clickity-click click. “There we are, it was just muted – that multimedia button right there next to the minus key on the numpad must have gotten pressed.”
\nCUSTOMER: “Oh.”
\nME: “Can I do anything else for you while I’m here?”
\nCUSTOMER: “No, I suppose that covers it.”
\nME: “That’ll be $52.50”
\nCUSTOMER: Writes check
\nME: Smiles and leaves.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
