The guy who I always get whenever I report a computer problem (which is very seldom; I usually deal with it myself) is a total idiot. Worse, he's a total idiot who thinks that everyone ELSE is a total idiot. And he's almost deaf (seriously), so that doesn't help matters at all. I'm telling the guy, listen, my hard drive is dying. It keeps cutting off and spinning back up again, and I know that sound. It's dying. He's like, "Oh, no, you can't tell by the sound of it." Yeah, YOU can't, because you're fucking deaf! Cripes.

My old drive made this rattling noise near the CD-Rom player. Sure enough, it died a few weeks later. This was the replacement drive for one that I took in to be repaired. At least it didn't cost me anything. Those extended warranties actually come in handy sometimes.

Yeah, that's the one good thing about Seagate -- their warranties outlast their drives. I wonder what kind this one is. I could probably yank it out and have it replaced myself by the time I could convince this guy to gimme another one.

Most of the IT people I deal with are the same way. I usually call a friend of mine, who is an IT person at another random company. He is usually more helpful over the phone than the goons around here.

Right on. That's why I never call our guy! But now, even when I've diagnosed the problem for him, he still won't put a new drive in! I should just go ahead and fry this thing.

I should give you my friend's number!

I am NOT going to laugh at this.

OK, I lied.

Speaking of evil, did you ever figure out my hint for the "bought, sold, or processed" movie quote?

That was "Say Anything" :) I got it when someone gave the clue "In Your Eyes". The actual scene ran through my head then. (Now, watch me be totally wrong, but I don't think so.) :)

Now go back and look at my original clue.
