  • Reality is FIXED.

    I just... I mean... Wha?

    <rebooting ApolloSZ>
    5...4.....3...2...1....

    We all joke about those people who make us pause, or cause us varying degrees of headaches.... well today I had one that literally left me stunned and rebooting.... they may or maynot have been helped by my being a tad tired.... but

    Background - I work in an IT Call centre, we support their mobile phones too seeing as they sync emails. This user had received a new cell phone (rather fancy too) and was arranging to downgrade to a different model, but this was taking time. So they wanted to foward their calls and messages from their WORK cell phone to their PERSONAL cell phone. This... is not allowed I am informed. Her reason? She didn't want to 'learn a new phone'...

    I let her know this cannot be done (I can nae do it cap'tain. We don't have the power!)

    Me - "Unfortunately, we don't support transferring/porting of work numbers to non-work numbers."
    User - "Ok. So how do we get that done?"

    Hmmm.... I'm reminded of a saying... something to do with "reject your reality, and insert my own?"

    Me (after rebooting) - "..... We don't."
    User - "Ok. *Sigh*. I'm just afraid people are going to call me."

    Now begineth the rant.

    I mean.... How hard is it to answer a friggin cell phone? You press the green (and I'm pretty sure this is universal [except for Bookstoreescapee :P]) button... you speak. Simple. Calls over... you press the red button... your done. THATS. IT.

    "I reject your reality and substitute my own."


    I don't have a green button. I hit the menu button twice (to unlock the phone) then press any button I want to answer it.

        I've been doing some field testing of this "reality" thing....

        The concept is interesting, but it needs a lot of work before it's ready for public consumption.
