i've decided against ideation, iteration and synthesis.
design theory and methods. explain an idea in a power point presentation using visual media. thats what i'm supposed to be doing, instead i've been doodling. almost wish i had a scanner so i cuold post the doodles. oh well. i want to buy an ipod nano, need a new mother board because the one i have is a piece of crap. got a new computer case, i'll post pictures of that later, along with picture of the rigging that had to be done due to the crappy mother board. not too excited about any of my classes right now. wonder if thats a bad sign. still haven't finished unpacking, being rather lazy about that. work is good. stoutonia is the same as last year, i show up, design ads, leave. ask5000 isn't too bad, a lot of people don't know shit about computers.
Lady - "i'm not getting a wireless signal."
Me - "where are you on campus?"
Lady - "i'm at home"
Me - "do you know where the wireless router is in your home?"
Crazy Lady - "YOU MEAN I HAVE TO BUY ONE? WHAT?! I PAY ALL THIS TUITION AND I HAVE TO BE AT THE SCHOOL TO USE MY COMPUTER?!! THATS SHIT!"
Me - "I'm sorry you feel that way but it isn't the school's responsibility to provide you internet access at home."
Crazy Emotionally Unstable Lady - [in tears] "But what am i going to do...." [click]
Me - "oops forgot to ask for a user name"
so yeah, not too many calls exactly like that, but a lot of people who call react that way, especially when you tell them we aren't allowed to back up thier stolen music. or when people bring in a computer damn near bent in half... but it came that way so they don't think they should be charged at all to fix it. Or those oh so computer savy people who "know" what they're doing and "have tried everything they could think of" and really only made the computer worse. like the guy who came in that could get his hotmail to work and when he tried to fix it he somehow screwed up his EXE LNK assosiation.
well, thats out of my system, oh wait, one more thing
DON'T CLICK ON ANY FUCKING AIM OR MESSENGER LINKS! THEY WILL KILL YOUR COMPUTER!
thank you
