Life as a blonde joke

[djrosen1]

So I got this trouble ticket in which the user described the classic symptom of a machine that had been disconnected from the network. The ticket stated that the help desk analyst had received verification from the user that the patch cable was plugged in.

So I go deskside, and the patch cable was obviously not plugged into the back of the computer. I plug it in, and the machine fires up and logs in just fine.

Some time later, the user drops by her cube. I tell her what had happened, and she tells me "the Help Desk guy asked me to check whether the patch cable was plugged into the wall; he didn't ask whether it was plugged into the computer!"

In the words of Dave Barry: I am not making this up.

All blonde threads need to be vetted with me first.

(((RambleOn))) I used to rent specialized electronic equipment... and with each rental I attached a list of setup instructions (operators manual for dummies)

That would definitely be on my list!! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

RambleOn: There's things about me you don't know, Tropi. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand.

Tropi: I don't understand.

RambleOn: You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Tropi. A rebel.

That is indeed a formal introduction; the pleasure is, nonetheless, all mine.

I'm just some white guy who married into a Jamaican family; the pro-forma hilarious antics and zany hijinks ensued.

I love SueSumba and Serena Williams (in no particular order) platonically from afar, and have a more physical relationship with Jamaican food.

We may have to revise the training for the help-desk analysts.

Re: Life as a blonde joke

Yes Kaz and the Official Jamaicans.com Blonde Belly Dancing Troupe. Since you are a natural blonde, you won't have to wear a blonde wig like most of us. What a relief NOT to have to worry about the wig flying off in the middle of the performance. Goldilocks, who you will see around Board Lane, started with us last year and her career has really taken off.

Just keep an eye out for notices about rehearsals. Right now there is a belly dancing costume thread in the style and fashion section for full figure women. It may give you some ideas for your own costume, even if you are not full figured.

We provide all the training BUT you must....I must stress this, you MUST provide your own belly dancing costume and blue contact lenses (and blonde wig but you don't need one), we don't provide them.

If you are having trouble pulling your look together. Start a belly dancing costume help needed thread in style and fashion and there will be a lot of us who can help you. I'll be away for a few days but I will be pleased to help you when I get back.

Welcome aboard.
