Dislaimer…you know the spiel…
So it's late afternoon at the cube farm…
I'm taking tech calls, and get a call from an operator in Georgia, (we'll call her DH; She's a middle aged African American Lady)…
DH is having an issue with an application. I check it out and sure enough it's a real issue, (no operator error).
So I crank out a standard trouble ticket, and that's that.
Then, she wants me to remote into her pc to check for something called "PSAR".
"That's Peoplesoft Accounts and Billing" I tell her.
"But I don't have that on my computer I don't think. But they gave me passwords for it." DH tells me.
"Hmmm…." I respond.
She then asks if I can remote into her system and check it out to see if she has the program.
So I agree, and get her IP addy. A quick few taps and I am remoted in, (the joys of dameware)…
I am running a standard search for the application "just in case", when all of a sudden she says out of the blue…
"I like the way you IT guys can remote into my pc. It's like you have your hands rubbing all over my body."
…
…
…
I sputter…
cough…
And have no clue what to say…
So I say "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you too!" …
Needless to say she didn't have the application, and I quickly remoted out and suggested that she check with her manager on it.
I put myself on "break", and go and tell my super…
More of a confession actually…
Next thing I know, three of them are listening to the call, (all of our calls are recorded), and they are having a hoot and a holler at my expense.
B1 looks at me and busts out laughing…D1 tells me that I am "the king of the freak calls for the company…" and that call and my stuttering response, provided the enjoyment for the IT crew for the evening…
I'll be visiting Mr. J Daniels here in a bit and am sure glad that tomorrow is Friday…
