Boss-across-the-hall update
Published by Becky S July 22nd, 2004 in tech, boss-across-the-hallI like to give the guy a hard time, but boss-across-the-hall does have some excellent qualities, which is why he gets to be the boss. One of his strengths is customer service. No matter who you are or how pissed off you are, boss-across will do his best to help.
Right now he’s talking to a friend who’s building a Microsoft Access application for his company, a small biomedical equipment outfit. I can only hear boss-across-the-hall’s half of the conversation:
Ok, so you can’t run a report. What happens?The application just shuts down? Which version of Access are you using?
Your company bought Office from a guy in Russia? He e-mailed you?
Yes, I’m sure it was cheaper.
It’s a little unnerving to know that a biomedical equipment company is getting software deals from Russian spammers.
Ok, so that warning alarm on the ventilator didn’t go off? What happened?No TagsThe ventilator just shut down? What model was it?
Your company got a ventilator via e-mail from some guy in the Ukraine?
Yes, I’m sure it was cheaper.
If you think that your example sounds scary, then you shouldn’t talk to any of the engineers or clinicians at your hospital. You really don’t want to know.
Hey, what do you have against Russian spammers? I suppose you wouldn’t have an issue if it was a spammer from New York would you? Let’s try to be a little more accepting of those different from us.
Oh, now I get it. It was just the fact they bought software from a spammer. Yeah, that is pretty scary. Dumb too.
Holy crap!
So was that ventilator supplied by the same biomed company, AND was the ventilator keeping somebody alive?
Heh. For the record, the second conversation is the phoney one that happened in my head.
I’m catching on…
Bonk on forehead.
ROTFLMBO!
you know if you could just be a little more PC about the foriegn spammers vs. the local spammers!
The comments are ALMOST better then then the post–not QUITE but ALMOST!
LMAO!!!!
I know this is off point but exactly when did Dana become a crack whore?
A few weeks ago, when I noticed that someone had gotten to this site via a “dana the crack whore” google search. I’m sure the decision to become a crack whore was the result of much soul searching–we should give Dana our support.
What exactly is the proper way to support a crack whore?
“What exactly is the proper way to support a crack whore?”
Ten bucks at a time?
I meant “support” as in “emotional support.” My bad–next time I’ll be more specific so that the male readers understand
Is there a term for a higher class of hookers who charge for services by the gram?
Crack Call Girl, Crack Mistress perhaps?
Ok now I’m stretching… maybe I need to get back on medication.
I still don’t understand how to give her “emotional support.” Do I tell her those fishnets are very slimming?
look–i can solve all this right now!
the best way to support me is to GOVE ME MONEY FOR PROJECT BLOG TOMORROW!
i promise–if i get over $1,000 (and i am only $49 shy) I will repent, change my ways and become simply a regular drug free whore.
Though hearing that the fishnets are slimming wasn’t bad. Breast comments are always appreciated too.

Dana send Becky a picture so she can post it and we will be able to criticize your assets more accurately.
Philip, here is Dana.
The story behind that picture, and many other entries from Dana’s recent blog-a-thon, are at her weblog, Think Pink.
Great teeth, nice hair, stylish top, can’t see fishnets nor breasts. Maybe a bigger camera. (I know, I just didn’t want to comment on the thing on her forehead in case it was covering a bullet wound from Iraq. Not PC).
Jesus Becky. You should have warned me! I made my smart ass remarks before I went to think pink. Sorry Dana.
Philip–sorry about that. I can’t speak for Dana, of course, but she has a pretty good sense of humor, else she wouldn’t have posted a picture of herself with a big nipple on her forhead.
Dana, do you like smart ass remarks? I can’t image why else you’d read this website. If I’ve offended, please chime in, and I’ll do my best to make amends.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
NO TOTALLY not offended (what you couldn’t link ‘em to a good pic or something??)
life is too short to get offended over tranny nips and crack whores–i’ve got save that for the big stuff like who the hell has been in here eating my secret stash of GOBSTOPPERS!
And honestly –i’m not really crack whore. I used that as a ploy to get in with the cool, tiny-assed, agnostic Becky. In all reality, I am a simply home schooling youth pastor’s wife (that is the real truth of it)who occasionally sports a giant nipple pn her forhead. It’s ok really, I am liscenced to influence the youth of america with a State of Florida Educators Certificate.
addendum:
I do Question Phillips use of a dietical title in referring to you–
though Jesus Becky has a nice ring, donchya think?
WWJBD?
