Spook’s Playhouse

Somedays when I’m working in hell, I get awesome displays of just how stupid people can be.  For instance… for some reason, one of our sales guys here is trying to buy some PCs.  Why? I dunno… not his job… maybe he’s trying to swing some deal for himself or something.  Seemed really excited when I was kind of vague and sounded like I might actually be considering buying them.  Any hoooo… I’m sitting down in a meeting with my director and we’re going over a few things.  The PC’s is one of them and there were some questions that needed to be answered.  Well… I don’t like to have multiple people call the same contact asking the same question, just have the original contact here continue all correspondence with the contact out there.

Well, one of the software titles that I needed to put on the PC’s would have been a PDF writer.  And my director had put Adobe Acrobat Writer… (It’s actually Adobe Acrobat Professional but that’s not what this is about… that’s a simple mistake…)  Well, this sales guy sees this and says, I think it comes with that…

Okay you think?

So in an email the sales person asking if he could confirm the belief that the software was infact on the PC.  I’m thinking no because Adobe doesn’t go throwing around $500.00 software programs on PCs for free.  Adobe Acrobat Reader yes… Adobe Acrobat Professional no… and I have this feeling… I dunno… maybe cuz I’ve been dealing with Computers in the professional arena for… oh 11 years or so… well… half way through the day… my “confirmation” came… and I’m going to copy and paste the text…

…ready?

“Bob says “Yes I believe it does” have the PDF writer…..”

You kidding me?  Yeah and I might believe that I thought you had an ounce of intelligence in that cranium of yours but pretty much lost that after I got this concrete evidence.

Morons… each and every one of them… Oh… Hi, Pops.  My dad reads my blog site now. lol  I tend to swear a tad when I write. Anyway… hope everyone’s doing well!
