Tech support angst.
Dec. 29th, 2006 10:16 pmon the phone with tech support, after listening to some stupid guitar and fake apologies for 10-12 minutes.
me. Hi, I am afraid I have locked myself out of my current IP. When trying to get to my CP, I don't even get a 403 error.
him. so, what happened?
me. We had locked our site with our previous internet provider, and did not unlock it when we switched.
him. Heh. Did you mess it up then?
me. Would you say that if I was a guy?
him. *pause*. ma'am, I was just trying to do some humor.
me. well, I don't appreciate gender biased humor.
him. bla bla, I'll put up a ticket for you.
me. thank you.
*phonecall falls*
I call again.
Estimated time to wait:14 minutes.
Rawr.
ETA: After waiting for way more than 14 minutes, I got hold of a really nice guy, so I am not that grumpy any more. I also did a lot of shopping today, which is material for another post, but let's just say that I don't want to kill someone that much ...
