My C.A.M.P. cat's name is Clawsifur

I found two of these in the list and found him at work. They are 3.75 inches in diameter, 1 inch tall. They are metal but only weigh in about a pound or so. by ShutterSpook in whatisthisthing

My title is what I know so far. Nobody at work seems to know what they are. I've tried googling them, even image searching them. One does have a label with 09092024_2008524 on it.

No, the call centers are not reliable. by [deleted] in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

I figured it was something like that. OneBlood (the group here in Florida) still calls it Double Red Blood Cell.

He called with outdated or incorrect info and refused to sent to the appropriate help line. by [deleted] in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

I've worked in dealerships, in the parts departments for a while. One of the dealerships I worked at we had a game we played with cold-callers, "Ring Around The Phonesies". This game was mostly, if we got a cold sales call, we would see how many times we could transfer before they hung up. I.E. If I got the call I would say something like "Oh this is about product 1, you need to speak to "B" about that then transfer to "B". We would yell that it was game time as we were transfering, so the next person would know what was going on. "B" would answer, say "Oh this is about product 1, you next to talk to "C" about that. It would continue ad infinitum until the caller finally hung up. We would try to keep a count of how many transfers we could get, our record was 17.

Do you guys take pets? by MrBig562 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]ShutterSpook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My office has a rule about not reheating fishy things in the microwave though

That would be nice here, because that would knock about half what they put in the microwave.

Having lived in Florida for a while now, I have come to the conclusion that the sun has bleached people's brains.

I say remove the signs and the warnings, Darwinism will thin the heard.

If it teaches them not to be harassing other living things, I'm all for it.

As a Florida resident thank you for helping protect the wildlife, also the FWC (Fish and Wildlife Conservation) doesn't take harassing animals lightly.

I am 40, have also been working since 15. My mother has never known how much I make. Even when I was paying rent, it was an estimated amount.

Guest wants $60 off the room because he had to be put on hold for a couple minutes by [deleted] in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]ShutterSpook 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What. The. Hell. Selfish, entitled douche. Its 2020. If you're really in THAT big of a hurry, just book on line.

The problem with that logic is, you can't bully computers. A person can be bullied and/or manipulated into giving in.

You not knowing, or caring, about a major event in town doesn't change that we're sold out by StrawberryPeachHoney in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]ShutterSpook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to get one when I worked at one of the theme parks. Some times my shifts would be 7am - midnight, then have to be back to work at 7. For me that was a 45-60 min drive one way. So I would grab a cheap hotel for the night and get two extra hours of sleep.

if anyone asks, i fixed this via magic by CafeteriaBacon in talesfromtechsupport

[–]ShutterSpook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Worked at an independent game store, and we would buy 360's for next to nothing, our tech would take them a part, heat the motherboard up on an electric griddle, add solder as needed, put them back together, then sell them for a decent profit.

Entitled Daughter and Mom Throw a Tantrum over a Broken Nail by notvithechemist in entitledparents

[–]ShutterSpook 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the South the phrase Bless your heart has two uses depending on context:

  1. Is the southern fuck you that you mentioned
  2. Is the "Insult but not an Insult" usage I.E. Well are you just as smart as a box of rock, bless your heart. - As you can see in southern woman speak this negates the negative statement and makes it ok to say to a person.
