Upgrading the board is understandable but on a WEEKDAY? Do you realize I actually had to do some wor.............wor................wo.........wor. .............I had to find something else to occupy my time?

Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???


Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
I feel your pain, Albob. I actually took calls from customers today while the site was down!!!![]()
But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

My morning was ruined, instead of pretending to answer customer emails and posting on IM I had to answer the emails like this:Originally Posted by Var
First, don't solar panels need SUNSHINE. Second the largest panel we have is 160 watts @ $800 and they only produce about 500/600 watts total for the day.I have an air conditioner that uses 1000 watts and want to run it with a solar panel. I only use it when I get home from work and while I sleep. I can't spend more than $100 on it since I paid that for the AC.
Thanks,

See IM is my buffer from these types of people.

I can top that.I had a woman call me today about a random computer issue. I told her my first name and she was like, "oh my god...whats your last name"? I told her that we dont give that out. She replied, "are u my son"?
So of course I said I wasnt. She said that, last she heard, he was in Kentucky, but could have made it up my way. We worked on her issue for a while and then out of the blue, "are u sure you're not my son, you can tell me sweetie".
EDIT: As absurd as this story sounds, I swear to god its true!!!!

Trust me I beleive it.
I once got a call from this backwoods guy who sounded like Mushmouth from Fat Albert.
I answered and he replies "I like one solah."
Me: One Solar what?
MM: Da'kine solah thing
Me: Please specify which "Solah".
MM: I don't know.
Me: So how will I know.
MM: You guy's do solah right.
Me: Yes solar water heating, electricity, skylights, attic fans what does the solar you want do.
MM: No' I don't want skylights I need one solah.
Me: Your not worth the waste of time good bye sir. CLICK
I can't stand these calls.

Thats bad. I've noticed most of the really AWFUL calls are from people in the backwoods of the south. If they're from Atlanta or someplace like that, they're fine. When you get Jeb from Horsebreath, "Can-tuky", you know you're in trouble!
