I don't understand everything about women - and I like it that way! Half the fun is learning about them!

Anybody work in an IT help desk position? How stressful is it?
by DanTheMan inmy boss is encouraging me to apply for a help desk position that has recently opened up at my place of work.
it would involve taking inbound calls from both customers and coworkers regarding our software products (i work for a textbook publisher, many of the books we publish come bundled with various cd-roms).. the job would be a significant pay increase from what i make now, which is the primary incentive.
however, the position is at a different location from where i currently work, and would likely triple my commute time.

"Regular" computer users aren't idiots. They are "regular" people. They marry, have children, drive cars, mow the lawn, discharge automatic weapons on the firing range; all the "regular" activities that "regular" people engage in. No one (so far) has suggested that they be eliminated from the gene pool by preventing them from marrying each other; we teach them, instead, to use discretion in developing personal relationships. We don't prohibit them from having children (we teach them about safe sex). We remind them that they could die while driving 130mph on mountain roads, they could lose a foot pulling a lawn mower up a steep hill, they could really hurt somebody if they don't keep their Uzis pointed down range.
Prevention begins with education. Face it, users who understand computing basics don't drag MSOFFICE into the TEMP folder or stick their vanilla wafers in drive A: to keep the mouse from nibbling on them. They don't use their CD-ROM tray to hold their coffee cups.
Educated users are AFRAID to drag folders around. They are terrified by the possibility that, some day, they will unthinkingly insert foreign objects in their machine or give their keyboard a refreshing drink from their Super Slurpy.
Education is the key to prevention and fear is the beginning of education.
What they don't know CAN hurt them.
So, the next time a user complains that an application magically disappeared when he accidentally pressed ALT-F4, simply explain, in a sympathetic voice, that it's okay - the first time. The little man in the keyboard allows ONE free mistake. After that, steel jaws will grip his hands while tiny razors begin removing his fingers.
A little education of your users can save you alot of stress.

I really love my job, but I hate it when it gets slow and there's nothing to do. Sure, I can spend alot more time on the board, and I enjoy that, but I need a challenge for a job to hold my interest. Lately my job is not challenging me.

Do you believe in fate or predestination?
by Dimples inas a jw i always found it difficult not to accept the fact that our lives weren't mapped out for us.
i believe people we meet in life and things that happen to us are for a reason.
i feel our life and death has been planned already.

I don't believe in fate or predestination. Nothing ever fell into my lap when I was just sitting on my butt. If I want something, it's up to me to go out and get it. My life is pretty good right now, but that's because of hard work, nothing else. As for a soulmate, I don't think there's any "perfect" mate out there for anyone. You find someone who you love and who loves you, hopefully someone you have alot in common with, and you work at getting along in areas where you lack things in common.
Life is what you make it, and the attitude you have toward the things you can't control.
Belief in predestination could give way to complacancy and a lack of motivation, and stifle continuous self improvement.
Just my opinion.

The only things I watch with any regularity are hockey and the simpsons. I watch news and documentaries as well.
Pay per view TV is kind of nice sometimes too, if there's anything worth watching.

Yes, calm down Aztec - breathe deeply! In through the nose - out through the mouth. Better?
It looks like you gave most of the same answers I did when I got the zero score.
Saying "you're cute when you're mad" is probably the quickest way for a guy to get decked!
I'd be VERY afraid!!!

Written by a 14 year old girl? I thought it was written by a 17 year old guy, considering the answers. I can remember thinking that way...long ago! Most women thought I was an a$$hole though.
I like these tests though, even If I do end up more confused then before.

So men, there is hope if you scored badly...that test is bullshit!
You're right. I took the test twice. The first time I answered the questions according to the way I acted when I was actively dating, and I got 12.
The second time I took the test I based my answers on what I learned about women since then, based on my experiences and on what many women told me. That time I got a big ZERO!
So I guess I still know nothing about women!

You got 12 out of 12 correct! 8-12: Nice job. You show an impressive mastery of one of the most mysterious, unknowable creations in the history of evolution. If women were colleges, you'd get into all of them.
Yeah, RIGHT!!! There must be something wrong with this test! Or maybe I'm just a good test taker.Walter
