Latest hobby

Hard to believe it’s been two years since I’ve posted anything.  Not that there hasn’t been things going on… So once again, I come back to this and avow that I will do more, post more, cover more, and 3 years from now, I’ll post again.  For now though, my latest hobby.

In a mood.

I’m in a bit of a mood, which was not helped any with my recent experience with AT&T’s support.

Note to self: Do not attempt to contact support when you’re “in a mood “.

Additional note to everyone that has ever contacted support: Nine times out of ten, support is dealing with someone “in a mood“, it’s a tough job. Please try to remember that.

Windows, you complete me… 1327%

Just a short background and two images…  We received new IDs for work yesterday.  In order to pick them up, we went over to the Tech Depot.  While waiting for the IDs to be printed, I was looking at the laptops and noticed the first image, which I captured with my phone.  This morning, I received a text from one of the techs with a picture from the same laptop.  Keep it classy Windows!  Nice to know you give more than 100% on your updates!
