Our sales guy here loves the write up job tickets using 1/3's.

8.5 x 3 1/3..... Wha?

Maybe my line guage is outdated or something.

also... the owner of the company here is 80something years old. For what ever reason, he can't remember the name of our Tektronics laser printer
...."Print this out on the teksaponics..."
.... " do printouts on the tekfonic...."
...."I need 5 copies on the tessatonic.."
...."The color on the teskatonic is terrible..."

:roll:

I can't get into the ftp server from my mac! It worked this morning!

Did you try doing a reboot?

No? Would that fix it?

"I'm having trouble with my Mac. Where's that copy of Norton."

That was this one guy's solution for every little problem, run Norton Utilities.

"Isn't that clever."

His quote for any screw up he could possibly blame on the client.

"My file won't RIP, I have to reboot the Brisque."

After any file failed.[/b]

Yep, no matter what the problem, a six-year-old copy of Norton will fix it!

Even if your scsi cable is unplugged!

That is the basic belief system of everyone in this department.

Me: Did you open an attachment with a name resembling above mentioned...?

Manager: I mightve. I dont remember, I open so many attachments everyday that I dont know what they are...

Me: (slaps the shit out of manager) Dude are you serious?

Manager: well yea, I didnt think it would hurt anything since this is a laptop instead of a PC.

I guess this belongs here too...

cut and paste the illustration into an image box and let them puzzle over the "no disk file" in the link window (if they even know there is a link window... )

and next time they bug you, fold your arms, shake your head slowly, and do your best Lurch impersonation.

Back at my last job, we were trialing FM screening on a job w/ a customer in for the OK (customer wanted FM because someone there had talked to a Creo rep, and thought stochastics was the cat's meow)...

Second Pressman swaggers into prep, pulls his pants up:

"Gimme another one of those scholastic plates. We kinked the red."

We were rolling on that one for over a year.
