| daftykins | heh glad i subcontracted sorting out the domain payment to the client, he gets to sit on the phone several times now and coax them to resolve things | 11:41 |
|---|---|---|
| zxmpi | your call is important to us... please hold... there are.... 1272... ahead of you... *MUZAK* | 11:42 |
| daftykins | i can only imagine he was rude to them, 'cause when i tried i was awaiting a call transfer and then got cut off :D | 11:42 |
| zxmpi | i've seen a few where if you've been on hold 15 minutes they just drop the call | 11:43 |
| daftykins | hehe that's cheeky, i don't think i got that far | 11:43 |
| zxmpi | *BZZZZZT* companies on my kill list? | 11:43 |
| zxmpi | well it's /kinda/ smart. only a % of those will ring back immediately and rejoin the queue. bloody annoying for the users mind | 11:44 |
| daftykins | yeah got to thin the herd somehow | 11:48 |
| daftykins | they're based in Carlow, Blacknight - do enjoy hearing a true Irish accent occasionally when i've had to speak to them :D | 11:49 |
| zxmpi | i think a few of the lads hang out in irish irc. it's the xkcd shiboleet of support :-P | 11:49 |
| daftykins | :D | 11:50 |
| zxmpi | still one of my favourite xkcd https://xkcd.com/806/ | 11:50 |
| daftykins | :) | 11:52 |
| daftykins | when the client said he'd been typing his Microsoft MFA token into the domain registrar page i had a great WTF moment | 11:53 |
| daftykins | gave him a good lecture about that | 11:53 |
| zxmpi | should put his mothers maiden name and dogs name there too :-P | 11:54 |
| daftykins | heh yeah just all of it | 11:59 |
| daftykins | he tried to downplay it as "well it's only relevant for a limited time!" | 11:59 |
| daftykins | yeah, but knowing that it's UNIQUE to one service is pretty key to life D: | 11:59 |
