First of all Chuck I want to congratulate you on staying sane while doing loans. That is exactly what I am having to study in this class I am in......simple interest, compound interest, bank discounts, mortgages and all that fun kind of stuff
Anyway, here is a stupid story:
A staff member called awhile back saying her computer was freezing up and making a whirring noise, but she said it just did it sometimes. At first, I thought her fan or hard drive could be having problems. I told her to call me the next time it happened since it would have to be doing this for me to figure out what was wrong. Several days went by and I did not hear from her. Finally I figured that her computer was working fine so I closed the ticket. Then she called and said it was doing it again. I asked her what she was doing when it started. She said she was trying to listen to her radio station. I told her that streaming audio sometimes doesn't work that well. I asked her if it did this on any other applications or web sites. She said "No, but sometimes it did it while she was trying to watch TV shows on her web TV stations." I told her that would pretty much fit in with what she was experiencing. I told her how to end the application. She called back in awhile saying that her computer was still not working right. I asked her if she rebooted the computer and she said no. She informed me that usually when this happened she had to pull that wire out of the back of that box sitting under her desk. I asked her if it would not turn off by clicking Start and Shut Down. She didn't know what that was. She informed me that she always turned the computer off by pulling that wire out of the back. In other words, she had been reaching around behind the computer and pulling the power cord out to turn the computer off for God only knows how long. I told her to not do this since it was not good for the computer. She informed me that it always worked to do it that way and that she didn't understand this Start and Shut Down thing. Again, I told her to not do this anymore and I have no idea whether she listened or not. So she does this and wonders why the computer sometimes makes a whirring noise.
And next time my stupid story will be about the woman and her bird Tweety when I worked at Sears.......poor, poor Tweety.....I still don't know where that woman plugged the other end of the cable to in order to record Tweety singing without using a microphone. One end went to the cassette player and one end connected to Tweety somewhere
