omg, big reminder why i ran screaming from the tech support job.
we have a printer/scanner combo in the office. co worker couldnt get the scanner working from his pc.
i told him where i d/l the mfg software to.
i'm talking he's typing not listening to a word i'm saying. he was repeating the same steps that ended in fail.
so i got up and watched him, a luxury to be phsyically there. so i watched him run the installer.
meanwhile he had taken a smartphone picture of the ip address from the printer display.
when we were up to where the software gave the option to manually type in the ip,
i went over to the printer, "let's verify the ip"
i heard him mutter under his breath "unbelievable"
I said, 'you know you said that out loud right?' - hah
anyway, so the printer has 2 ip addresses, 1 for wireless, and another for wired.
so, it turns out he was using the wrong ip address.
so now he can scan his expense reports.
and yoo know, i will throw that 'unbelievable' remark at him from time to time.
guys don't need to stop for directions, thanks to gps. they still don't rtfm lol
I had to go out today, to get my annual safety inspection sticker for the car. 13F...feels like -3F! Damn Polar Jet Stream!

Shall I inect a standard blonde joke here? I RTFM! And I'm sure I'm not the only man on the planet who does!
I also stop for directions if I don't have a gps. Fire stations are the best place for that...they need to know where every street is because they may have to go to that street. It's an old salesman thing, and an old salesman told it to me a long time ago.

I'm probably the last person on the Earth that does this but when I accept a PC from a customer into my lab for repair I make a copious log of EVERYTHING I do to it. Along with my thoughts and theories of the problem at the time. They are primarily meant for me to keep myself organized and on track, and to use again if that same computer ever comes back into the lab or if I see a similar problem in the future. Included in the notes are highlighted, emboldend, red or blue color changed fragments of information that are either important (blue) or problems (red) that I encountered. The highlighted blue material is things like passwords, account names, license keys, information websites, tricks of the trade. You know, things that would be nice to have at your fingertips. Often my "Labwork Log" runs to 100+ numbered paragraphs, which is about 4 or 5 pages of notes. Now I realize that the customer isn't going to read or understand all the techno-geek in the lab log, so I summarize it in one page called "Summary and Comments" that describes in layman language the short and dirty of what I did to his machine and restates the accounts, passwords, and license keys. Oh, and the final page is my bill. But I always make a point of handing over the complete log and summary and explaining the red and blue parts. Hoping that they at least glance at the summary to see what's there. I have a few customers who do and thank me for it. But the majority of them just look at the bill and never look at my efforts again. I know because I get calls from them asking stupid questions that are answered in emboldened colored large font text in my summary.
I realize that there's something disturbing about devices that come with usage manuals bigger than a city phone book, but how do people survive in this modern world without even reading a one page summary? 
This irritates me too. It seems like an attempt at being cutesy. There's already an appropriate pronoun here - it's "you."
Holy Carp!!!!!! Makes me want to send you a cup of my jasmine green tea!!! Or a big fuzzy blankie...
I will RTFM only in extreme cases. U'm an engineer, I should be able to figure things out. That said, I do ask for directions if I'm lost.However, I do not own a wife-beater t-shirt and I only drink expensive microbrews.. Homer Simpson I am not!!
Simple answer - they don't. Someone else bails their ass out. :-|
We think y'all are kinda pedantic. :-P
Beggie day today - tried roastiing corn in it's husk, which produced the best toast corn I;'ve ever cooked! Just cut a whole cob in haf and shove it into the air fryer on 200f for 1/2 an hour, omgomg, hit it butter and it's better than sex. Cooked roasted red baby potatoes with green chili hot sauce, yee haw! Potatoes that bite back. Current;y roasting beets and turnips, will butter them when done. Colby Jack cheese for snacks.
Enough healthy, next up will be Fritos Scoops and ranch dip!!! Wheeee!
That could easily happen with a catchup sale.
...sounds like of the roasted corn I'd get at the old Wisconsin State fair that was dunked in clarified butter.
Oh as to yesterday, my friend I went to my usual hangout rather than somewhere in the other "high rent" district, and he was very impressed with the burger they make there. Hand formed and cooked to order with all the goodies (like real "cheddar" and bacon) with fries that are not over salted, and didn't cost 15$ - 20$. Burger hunger was very satisfied.
Corn isn't roasted properly unless you've spent all afternoon gathering dry wood and tinder from the nearby forest, piling it in a large rock edged burning pit, making a big bonfire that by nightfall has burned down to glowing big logs and glowing ashes, dozens of unshucked ears corn have been sitting in a washtub full of water all afternoon, and are laid into the glowing coals (without being wrapped in aluminum foil) to steam themselves cooked. Then the bravest soul in the party rotates them and grabs a few from the coals and puts a few more in, then people shuck their own ears of corn, using the pealed back shucks as the handle for holding the steaming hot ear, and hoping to get the ears that have just a tinge of black on a few kernels, a couple of rows of caramel colored slightly overcooked kernels one side, and the rest steamed to yellow perfection ready to be laid into a shallow dish of what used to be an entire pound of real butter and rolled until completely slathered in buttery richness and then liberally sprinkled with salt. Now that's roasted corn on the cob. Yum!!! It's our family reunion tradition.
Okay
...at the State Fair they sort of cheated using a large open gas grill (would take to long every day to stoke up a wood fire) but did roast the corn in their husks with no foil. Similarly, they would pull the husks down to form a "handle", dip them in a vat of hot clarified Wisconsin butter, salted them and then handed them to you. Still good eatin'
I feel like life is awful. Sometimes I feel terrible that I am alive because I can do no right.
I haven't been there in years but that corn was the best.
You're great. I hope you feel better tomorrow.
You cannot be an American. Telly is something we said in Newfoundland back when we flew the Union Jack under British rule. I have not heard that in forever. In 2002 my future/current husband said why is your TV not working. I said it works. He siad no it doesn't, I can't get football." I said, "Oh I don't use it as a TeeVee, I use it to play videos."
Why don't they say we/our when , it's time for our your colonoscopy or, we you have a terminal illness.
Making mistakes feels awful but later when we learn by them it feels good.
>SIGH<
It is. Pretending it's always plural is just a bit disingenuous.
I didn't know salesmen did that.
I figured it out when I was a truck driver. Don't ask the cops!
They'll tell you how to get there in a patrol car.
Ask the fire department.
They'll tell you how to get there with some huge equipment.
..well, was effectively raised "British". long story.
>Sigh< again. My original comment was a joke. Please lighten up.
Right. My bad. I guess I'll never get "pretending not to know what words mean" as humor.
Thanks. I am feeling a bit better.
Thanks! I am trying to learn.
think i'd rather fail than be one of those can't be wrong people. is irritating
like the song - "little miss little miss can't be wrong"
unless we talkin printer/scanner IP addresses, is never wrong to verify an ip address. ping, tracert, arp-a, ipconfig /all
but, makin up words is fun though
like fealted - he or she whometh sworeth Fealty
Brittas Empire didnt have an Emperor or Empress.
can only hope! bought stuff hoping the 'required' would go on sale.
