ROFL @ froggy ! I just saw the smoking hat :D ;) .....but aren't you a little to young for THAT kind of entertainment ?

(I know the last sentence is a little out of character for me, but some certain herbs aren't very good if you're still growing up... ;) ) .


But the hat is GREAT ! Image

Duffman says: not cool :( . I can feel your pain, mate... but here's a better suggestion: instead of shooting yourself, we both go on a (L)user killing spree Image ** calls in the Duff cheerleaders to give Beldin a massage ** Hang in there, buddy... weekend's on the way ;)

...thank's mate , I needed that....**smiles at the cheerleaders and pats one on her backside**

It's not that the NUMBER of calls is that bad, but I had 3 really BIG problem escalations today....and guess WHO has to put in overtime to pacify everyone...even the ones who SCREWED UP.... ;) :D ....


EDIT - OK, in ONE case it might have been MY mistake which triggered it, but there's no proof to that...there never is ;)

I can definitely relate, mate - we released a new Service Pack last week and we've had reports of BUGs all week ;) . And, of course, the Helldesk is the first line of defense to take the heat - no matter who's responsible :rolleyes: . Just keep cool :cool: , mate - it's not worth getting all worked up about ** tosses Beldin another can of Duff Extra Cold ** What do they know ;) ?

Well - basically only what I want them to know....since I controll my own reporting by being my own supervisor....

It just happened that someone along the line didn't pass some crucial customer information on to the on-site technician....- (I'm really not sure if it was me.... !)
- but HEY, it's not my fault that I wasn't on the guest list for to their annual christmas-bash this year... ;) :D ...

But no worries, I'm off for today.....may the weekend be with you , mate !

C U on monday !

Hmmm, birthdays and christmas all in one go. Real fun for gift ideas.

Thankfully work has quitened down a bit now, not so frantic anymore :)

@Beldin, aren't all mondays busy? It's when you find out what idiotic things users have been trying to do all weekend :D

We don't give Christmas presents as such, but he does get birthday presents (1st of December), Sint-Niklaas' (6th of December; sort of like Santa Claus in America) and New Year's presents (1st of January). Very expensive month for his godfather :D ** finishes his mug of C.C.B. and cracks open a can of Duff **

Looks like I'm through the worst....... ;) ....

Mondays are worst. Closely followed by Fridays - when everyone wants his problem fixed NOW - because the world will come to an end if the damn thing doesn't work on the weekend.... :rolleyes: !

Later @ Flibbs !
