Hello All
As some of you know, I work on a cruise ship. I help out in the ship's internet center, making sure the piece of shit software (it's called PMS, lol!) posts to the passenger accounts, etc. It's not a paid job, it's in addition to my regular duties, but I get free internet time as a result.
Part of the gig entails being on call for technical issues. Thus, I have a pager. I was in the middle of a very enjoyable nap today when the motherfucker goes off. The page was from the reception desk, who had a guest who could not print off a document.
So, I get my ass out of bed, and get dressed. Couldn't this WAIT?! I hike up the seven flights of stairs to the internet center. I walk in, and it goes like this:
Fuckwit: No matter what I do I can't get it to print.
Me: OK, log in and show me what the problem is.
<fuckwit manages to log in, and pulls up the page he's trying to print>
Fuckwit: I keep hitting the print button and nothing happens!
<Fuckwit hits the print button, and guess what happens....>
THE PRINTER SHITS OUT THE PAGE!!!!
Me: Seems to be working now...
Fuckwit: Oh, yeah, I guess so. Thanks.
Sigh... This is not the least of what happens here every day. I'll post more when it happens.
