Tech support is hard.
Dec. 11th, 2011 07:02 pm( In which I try to fix a friend's computer. Cut for rage and hatred. )
In the end, no, I didn't fix the other person's computer. I scribbled down some possible things to try and left them to fix it themselves. Knowing them, they won't be able to do it. But it's not my problem, and I do not want to waste any more energy banging my head against the wall. Yay, you all get a rant from me instead. There's no way I'm ever going to get into tech support professionally, not a fucking chance.
ETA: I hate that I get so angry and so frustrated over this stuff. I have a problem with this attitude, I really do. This shit does not matter, it is not my problem (unless they make it my problem, of course) so why do I care about it so much? Stepping back is hard enough normally, but when I'm trying to focus on one thing and am being hounded by another, maintaining a mindset as a third preoccupation is nigh-impossible. I am NOT a multitasker. So if you're about to lose your shit at me over this, save it. I'm having enough problems talking myself down as it is, and you would not be helping, not one bit.
I would very much appreciate constructive responses, though.
Final verdict? I want some alcohol, and I want someone halfway intelligent to share it with. :(
