The Dilbert Future - Thriving on Stupidity

Started to read this book yesterday and i learned about Bozo filter. It can help mailbox to block out key words and specific individuals.

These are a few funny stuffs from this book.

1. Stupid ppl who didnt on their printers/pcs and thought these machines died on them. So, they called the helpdesk and the first thing the staff asked was "is the plug being switched on? Is the machine being switched on?" Haha,,this are exactly the same questions asked a few years back when i called the HP hotline when my deskstop was not working!

2. Datas are transmitted by 1000000 bytes. The "0" can bend themselves and move smoothly within the cable but the "1" will get jammed. So, the cables must always be stretched regularly to ensure datas are transmitted smoothly. Technicians will bluff office staffs about this and they actually believe!

Always enjoyed the Dilbert comic strips,they are funny and relevant in workplace.

Encountered a not-too-intelligent email awhile ago. Unfortunately, the sender is LP's sister. 1st email enquired about the price of Lead's tour goods, with 10 urls. Had replied it promptly. 3omins later, another email, asking for the price of the same 10 urls but in different format. The new format was 1 url with 6 item codes below it and 2nd url with 4 item codes below it. I opened another window to compare wat's the diff between the 1st and 2nd email. Alamak,,both were asking for the same items. So, replied 'pls refer to 1st email". The bozo filter came to my mind. Zhen qi kuai,,dunno why she re-format the 2nd email but ask for the same items.

Someone local enquired about gazette 3/10 tour liao,,but dun hve info,,ask him to enquire again early feb..since tix will be on sale on 2/14. This day, X Japan will be having live in Taiwan!~

Today our news said Spore's growth forecast is -2 to 1% this year. Seriously, i just feel, whether it shrinks or improves, employees dont get their pay rise accordingly (except our ministers get their pay rise when economy is doing well but not the workers) but got pay cut when economy is bad. Just like the excuse of Transport fares not linked to Oil. We are always at the shorter end of the stick.

There's also report on this evening's news about Japanese queeing up to buy 福袋. If i were there, i will chiong to Shinjuku coz there's alot of shopping malls in that area. Yday watched the 8pm Channel U (or channel 8)'s Shen Qian Wang by Quan yifeng and Ah Ben. They introduce Tokyu Hands. I didnt know there are Porter bags in Tokyu Hands. Only been to the Ikebukuro branch and the ground floor has a wall of keitai straps,,,see until blur,,,tat time no time to slowly shop,,so whizzed out of the store within 5mins coz not sure wat to buy from Tokyo Hands.

Just received one sms from a mei mei,,she tot tml's meet up is 3pm. luckily she check now,,else tml she will be there at 3pm and waiting,,,lolz

Oh yes, Wed brought an extra gaze calendar and guess wat?? When i return to cityhall for a meet up at 4pm, the customer who cant make it for that day's meet up was also waiting at the same place! She was waiting for a friend. So, i quickly passed her the calendar,,den dun need to bring home,,haha,,it was such a lovely coincidence! She saved a trip on this sat too. Miracles in the making..lolz.
