A new client called to inform us their Internet was down. I called, and they put me on with the technician from the telephone company, who informed me he was there to set up their new Internet service. Naturally, we knew nothing of this, because you only call your IT consultants when things break, not with any sort of advance notice, right?
Telco technician: “I plugged in the router, and it doesn’t work.”
Me: “What kind of router is it?”
Telco technician: “It’s a Cisco.”
Me: “More specific…? Model?”
Telco technician: “You’re asking the wrong guy.”
Me: “Then maybe you shouldn’t be trying to set up their Internet connection!”
