Venting...

RANT

After 40+ years I'm getting fed up with being the dumbass whisperer. That's it. That's the vent.

I kinda look forward to cleaning slit glasses, removing paperclips from the DF, and installing toner. The call comes to a definitive conclusion, unlike so many others. =^..^=

haven't been doing it for that length of time... just I am 64+ yr old and it seems I get to be less asshole tolerant as the years progress.

Re: Venting...

I am 65 and don't know how much longer I can tolerate the customers who think they know more than me.

I started in this business in 1986 and still haven't learned my lesson.

Too late to try something new.

semi retired from this industry....

just got an email from Hendrix Motors.... they want me to apply for a ' technical writer ' position with them today.

I have created manuals for service ..sale..delivery .. parts ordering .. warehousing and a bunch of "tip sheets" for customers before they placed a service call.

pay starts @ $42.500 a year... great benefits 401k .. paid vacations at the start.. all medical.. a singing bonus $3,000 and monthly bonuses ... 40/hrs a week.

it's 40miles away but for that type of pay I'd drive to FL to kick some liberal ass!

If I make it that far I won't be fixing copiers and printers. I will be sitting in my garage with my kegerator and brewing more beer to fill it.

Too late to try something new.

Some customers simply like to take their frustration out on the friendly copier repair man. I think that a lot of it has to do with the "service contract." I've always found that the customer sings a different tune when I start charging them to fix stupid shit. Only then will some customers begin to follow directions. My 2-cents.
