Actual conversation I (Zoom) had with ... let's just say ... someone who should know better (SNB).
SNB: "I haven't received any e-mail on my blackberry since 10 am. I think the office e-mail is down. Would you check?"
Zoom: "Ok."
Call to help desk reveals e-mail is functioning properly.
Zoom: "I called help desk and they say the e-mail systems are working fine. You need to call them so they can walk you through a couple of trouble shoots with your blackberry."
SNB: "Ok, I'll call them after I'm out of Best Buy. My battery in my blackberry is dead so I'm getting a new one."
Zoom: "How are we talking if your blackberry battery is dead?"
SNB: "It's not."
Zoom: "..."
SNB: "It was, but I have a new one."
Zoom: "You do realize that in order to receive e-mail, you need a functioning battery, right? It doesn't just fly through the air cloaked in invisibility and then embed itself into your device. The device still needs battery power to refresh your in-box."
SNB: "Yeah."
Zoom: "Are you going to walk in here with Ashton Kutcher?"
SNB: "Who?"
Zoom: "Nevermind. Check your e-mail now that you have a new battery. I think you'll find them in there now."
SNB: "Yup. There they are."

Um, yeah. Those people make me want my five minutes of life back (that I wasted conversing with them).
WOW.
Funny ...
I love people like that. They make me feel smart about electronic stuff.
It seems these people are everywhere actually earning income somehow. What gets me is they seem to be hired quickly and the last to be let go. Is it pity? :P
