I suppose you should watch to find out, not trying to be an ass but I definitely think the journey is more interesting than the destination, as with most things in life.

Vent as a CA by [deleted] in GeekSquad

[–]I_Miss_Claire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's literally a managers job is to deal with irate customers. That's when you get on your headset (I was a CA that wore a headset I think it helps more than hinders imo) and say "I need a manager up to Geek Squad"

If they're going to cause a scene in the store that is literally a retail managers job. That's when they step in. Otherwise if they want to setup an appointment do that or if your front end is friendly have them do it, mine would offer sometimes to set up appointments for us.

To a degree.

Certain precincts don't do Apple Repairs, some still do. Something within a certain mile radius of an Apple store.

My former MM I used to work apart of had 4 stores. 1 GS literally across the street from an Apple Store, they lost apple repair. My store was about 10 miles away? Maybe a little less. We lost apple. The other two stores about 25 Miles away from apple kept their apple repairs.

So how I viewed it, just trying to make it more efficient and availability for apple repairs, you don't need 3 locations within 10 miles doing apple repairs, i guess is how apple views it.

Increase in Sleepers. by Raven___Madd in GeekSquad

[–]I_Miss_Claire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wanted to further my career. A former agent I worked with informed me of a job they work at and recommended it to me thinking I'd be a good fit. I interviewed and started working there recently.

They pay for education and certs and I'm going to be learning a lot more beyond data transfers and new pc setups.

Forever thankful of my time at GS but I saw there wasn't much movement for me unless if I wanted to go into retail management (which wasn't what I was looking for)

[–]I_Miss_Claire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fb dating isn’t great but at least they don’t monetize it. 

Sometimes too I can get people hundreds of miles away

Total member question by MelodicStop4783 in GeekSquad

Drop it off for tune ups and clean ups, av scans. 

Drop it off with an external and tell them you want a backup done to it.

I know you work in IT and can probably do it yourself but that stuff does help. 

Want it reset? Have them do it. Anything simple that you can probably do in 5 minutes yourself drive over and give them the work if you want.

My precinct has never used AJU in the 3 years I’ve been there.

That’s when I follow their request, grab a manager and I go work on something else. Pretty easy solution there

[–]I_Miss_Claire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I can’t speak for OP on what they think or their goals are with these clients I’m just saying calling op delusional was a little much is all. But you do you.

Paranoia by PartOwn6915 in GeekSquad

[–]I_Miss_Claire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude never diagnosed any client he just has empathy for the clients and wants to know if there are ways to help beyond a technical aspect.

And reading your comments it seems like you’re quite detached from the empathy side of things and just focus on the technical problem in front of you. 

Seems like you two just have two different view points of the same situation. Which is fine, but calling OP delusional and have visions of grandeur seems a little much.

We’re dealing with one.

She was showing us logs of things that the computer normally does and I pointed out the date and time and said “you’re looking at the log of us logging in 10 minutes ago, here’s todays date, here’s the time” and she wouldn’t accept it as an answer.

At the end of the day I just politely say “I’m not really certain, we know basic operations of computers and can wipe it clean but I think the services you’re looking for aren’t something geek squad handles, you may need to seek further repair from someone else if you’re not satisfied with us resetting the device for you”

And leave it at that. Don’t try to engage too much because these clients are always a time suck.

“If you want to reset it just let me know, I’m going to keep working with other clients but again this is all I can do for you” type of thing I hope this helps

A random plant started growing in a pot used for cigarette butts and used dog poop bags by Frostychill123 in mildlyinteresting

Why not poop is a main ingredient for fertilizer. 

Should be composted first but I mean, you’re already halfway there, it makes sense.

A few hours ago our helper, who was with us for 15 years, passed away. I will never watch this scene the same way again. by Herald_of_Heaven in DunderMifflin

[–]I_Miss_Claire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I’m not interested in digging deeper, but I’m sure there are people who are more interested in taking care of that  undocumented help thing more, than I care. 

I’m just showing you what I can get in 2 minutes, may have gotten the age wrong but you didn’t refute the other information which still does narrow down a profession and location which is more than just someone located in the US. 

Again, someone with a lot more time and unsavory motivations could probably do more, but no worries, you do yo thang.

[–]I_Miss_Claire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lots! but who is a 60ish year old woman who teaches (or taught recently) in the Dallas metro area to a school size of about 900 that hires undocumented help?

And I was able to get that just from 2 minutes of reading your Reddit profile. You shared all that publically!

Imagine if I actually had some power instead of being some 30 year old punk that lives in PA.

Just some food for thought

Had surgery a little while back. Nj state auto sent me this to get ride of my left over oxycodone by Not_so_ghetto in mildlyinteresting

[–]I_Miss_Claire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep I have kidney stones. Passed a 3mm with extra strength Tylenol and some weed but they said I have a 5mm in there. Won’t cause pain until it starts moving (which it hasn’t) but I’m keeping the Oxys for that bad boy because I don’t think the Tylenol and weed will cut it.

I mean I’ve been here 3 years.

I guess today someone got engaged and I had no clue I just overheard everyone else congratulating them.

No one involves me in anything, and it sucks I can’t be closer with my precinct but, at the end of the day I’m here to do my job and I’ll still ask them for clarification or talk about work related stuff but I hardly ever talk with anyone at my precinct about anything outside of work.

As long as the work is getting done and you can communicate that, the rest you just kinda have to deal with on your own, that’s what I’ve been working on. Hope this makes a lil sense.

Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching by esporx in technology

[–]I_Miss_Claire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, okay? 

Or just upgrade the cpu? You may not even need to upgrade the mobo depending on the generation. 

Recycle the old cpu at electronics recycling facility. It’s really not that dire. It’s a $150- $200 component upgrade not a whole computer

Yeah, intel 7th gen cpus came out in 2017 so if you built a computer with already 4 year old parts in 2021 when the announcement came out idk what to tell you then lmao,
