Two days ago a call shows up in French for a postal code 400 miles away in another city.
I texted the dispatcher saying "You need to send me a plane ticket to do this call"
half hour later she replied (I dont understand).
so i say where is postal code xxxxxx
she said south montreal.
I say, I do not think I service that area.
4 hours later she said "I just figured out your joke"

That was one of my favorites too. I just love that guy's posts. Don't understand why some don't like him, but that's just me.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
Never had any problem with dispatchers in my life. They either knew about everything they needed to know or, if not, they would ask someone who knew about it. Oftentimes they would even ask about my opinion on it.

I'm just an ex-tech lurking around and spreading disinformation!
Sent to a job at an address like 2466 Ipswich road. No street numbers on a major road with commercial properties. You finally figure out it's in the shopping centre with 40 businesses., and the name of the company is foxworth pty Ldt ( or something like that) whichj is the registered company name, not the Trading name, and no one knows who the hell that is.
Yep, I have had one of those too. I recall being sent to 3480 Gold Coast Hwy.... what suburb? She had no idea.
I have seen some dead set angry women in that role too. Some techs get driven all over the place because she didnt like them for what ever reason. Not good at all.
We had this dispatcher broad for a while that use to let customer calls ring and ring until they hung up while she talked on the phone to her Mom, her friends, her Realtor... Total waste of space...
But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard... to be the Shepherd.

Hmm, I think she worked here for a while, just look at her funny and you were sent from Cleveland to Ipswich via Caboolture!
And keep an eye on the snack machine, if the women start raiding it for chocolate mid morning it means the hormones are on the rise again and its time for any sensible man to keep his head down and keep out of sight.
At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.
Apologies to those who are of have been dispatchers.
This one is for dispatchers who. as you can tell rom the title, need their own horror movie.
Like the one who sent me 25 miles out of the way to a call because it was only just "right there" on his map!
Next!
I ended up marrying one of my dispatchers.
Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.
So it was no great stretch. She was already telling you what to do, and where to go. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
