There's a reason you separate military and the police.
One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people.
When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

lol well I miss all of you lots and lots and I'm melting down here but I do like it for the most part.

I was offered two jobs, one at a level 1 trauma center in dallas and one doing tech support, and I decided to take the tech support one for a few reasons:
1. It's not permanent, its a contract job so the opportunity to head back to Colorado after the summer exists.
2. Its for apple. grin

So I'll be an iphone tech support monkey. Should be interesting to say the least.

p.s. went to Ikea for the first time ever today. It was amazing. If it had shoes, toys, and video games, it would be heaven.

If you want to come back to colorado I know someone here in the springs who is an Apple tech that works from home... I could ask him if they're hiring at the end of the summer... that's if you want to come back. Congrats on the job though! grin

If these people have trouble with their iPhones, how will they call you? confused

Oh, and yay for the lawn, Mistress! I was helping le Queen with hers the other day so I could avoid writing my TPS reports for my 8 bosses. I'd gut fish on them, but that would mean my apartment would smell like fish. sick

AR, I work for the company that offers service for the iphone (name omitted out of paranoia) and they typically call us first with iphone issues...before we send them over to apple we tell them not to call on the phone with issues...they almost always do. rolling_eyes

I cannot count how many tech calls I have taken where I ask the user if we are talking on the phone with the problem and they say no...then I tell them to enter some code into their device and the call is disconnected (because they in fact ARE). People are stoopid.


And I love my lawn! Laying sod might be one of the most difficult (physically) things I have done. Each roll weighs prolly 50 pounds and because I had never done it before, I was given the job of getting the roll off of the pallet and placing it on the dirt. Pallets were on the front strip but my yard is elevated so I had to carry each roll up stairs and over to where it needed to be. Ouch.

But so pretty to look at. love

We have a similar problem where I work. A lot of people call in with problems on their digital phone that we provide or on their internet. When we ask if they're on their phone or using a VOIP phone over the internet, they say no, and then get disconnected when we reset anything. *sigh*
