What a dumb ass…

Yesterday evening, a big storm hit my home city.

I had managed to capture some nice thunderstrokes.

Let me know what you think.

True telephone conversations recorded from various Help Desks around the U.K

Helpdesk: What kind of computer do you have?
Customer: A white one…

Customer: Hi, this is Celine. I can’t get my diskette out.
Helpdesk: Have you tried pushing the button ?
Customer: Yes, but it’s really stuck.
Helpdesk: That doesn’t sound good; I’ll make a note …
Customer: No … wait a minute… I hadn’t inserted it yet… it’s still on my desk… sorry .

Helpdesk: Click on the ‘my computer’ icon on to the left of the screen.
Customer: Your left or my left ?

Helpdesk: Good day. How may I help you ?
Male customer: Hello… I can’t print.
Helpdesk: Would you click on start for me and …
Customer: Listen pal; don’t start getting technical on me ! I’m not Bill Gates damn it !

Hi good afternoon, this is Martha, I can’t print. Every time I try it says ‘Can’t find printer’. I’ve even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can’t find it…

Customer: I have problems printing in red…
Helpdesk: Do you have a colour printer ?
Customer: No.

Helpdesk: What’s on your monitor now ma’am ?
Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me in the supermarket.

Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.
Helpdesk: Are you sure it’s plugged into the computer ?
Customer: No. I can’t get behind the computer.
Helpdesk: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer: OK
Helpdesk: Did the keyboard come with you ?
Customer: Yes
Helpdesk: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard ?
Customer: Yes, there’s another one here. Ah…that one does work !

Helpdesk: Your password is the small letter a as in apple, a capital letter V as in Victor, the number 7.
Customer: Is that 7 in capital letters?

A customer couldn’t get on the internet.
Helpdesk: Are you sure you used the right password ?
Customer: Yes I’m sure. I saw my colleague do it.
Helpdesk: Can you tell me what the password was ?
Customer: Five stars.

Helpdesk: What antivirus program do you use ?
Customer: Netscape.
Helpdesk: That’s not an antivirus program.
Customer: Oh, sorry…Internet Explorer.

Customer: I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screensaver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears !

Helpdesk: How may I help you ?
Customer: I’m writing my first e-mail.
Helpdesk: OK, and, what seems to be the problem ?
Customer: Well, I have the letter a, but how do I get the circle around it ?

During my trip to Vegas the internet connection was not as good as I wanted, but I managed to work around this.

There was this bar – The Bait Shop – inside Hooters hotel that had a hot spot where I was able to read my email.

The DNA of Persuasion Seminar was simply awesome. There was so much information delivered that after each day of seminar you wouldn’t feel as working anymore.

Kenrick’s stuff is really great and if you ever have the chance to attend one of his seminars, just do it. Now, I’m pretty sure this small review might sound like a plug, but I just felt you should know this.

Most casinos in Vegas actually define the word casino. You might see some of the pictures in my album. I was totally impressed by the quality of service and the kidness of all the servers, waiters, etc.

One thing I din’t like that much was that there was too much junk on the street. Also, the guys advertising escort services are a little too pushy. I mean, I literally saw them giving ads to men that were with wifes along them.

Also, if you’ll ever come to Vegas, pray not to be too windy.

Other than that, Las Vegas is quite an unforgetable experience.

Till next time,
Have a great time,

In a time long ago and a land far away

In the reign of Roman Emperor Claudius II, things were
not going well for the empire.

Claudius had launched so many bloody wars that he was
running out of soldiers and no one wanted to volunteer
for his latest adventurers.

In a stroke of madness, Claudius decided that the solution
to his problem was to ban all engagements and marriages.

This way, he reasoned, young men would not be ‘tied down’
to their families and would be more inclined to sign up
and ship out.

Obviously, folks who wanted to get married were not
happy with the new law.

*** Valentine to the rescue

One clergyman, a man named VALENTINE,  thought the law
was nuts and unjust and took to secretly marrying couples.

It worked great…until he was caught.

While in jail waiting for execution – it was a capital offense
to oppose the Emperor – young people threw flowers and
notes of appreciation to the man who stood up to a power-mad
government on their behalf.

Valentine knew he had done the right thing and, thanks to
the support and love and received from so many, kept his
spirits high to the very end.

For the ‘crime’ of marrying people who loved each other,
Valentine was executed on February 14.  And thus the
origin of today’s holiday.

Saturday was quite an uneventfull day so we’ll skip over it.

But Sunday did make up for that: we went to Denver to do some sightseeing and some shopping.

The way from Silverthorne to Denver was quite a bliss. The landscape is like a dream. We took some pictures that will back-up my words.

In Denver weather was much warmer than in Silverthorne, so we actually seen people walking around in shorts and t-shirts.

The sky was so clear that I had to imortalize it on my digicam’s bytes.

Also, the buildings in Denver are amazing. Not as tall as the New York ones but they’re worth seeing.

The only disturbance were the beggars that were all around the center. But, they do have style: They come to you and start telling you about karma and how it is a good thing to get rid of it by giving away. And the’re there to help you.

As promised, I’ve already uploaded some pictures that were taken with my cell phone, so the quality might not be that good. check them out here

Will post some more soon, so make sure you’ll come back often.

After I’ve spent the yesterday’s day shopping and visiting some attraction points in Dillon and Silverthorne, today was a All Day Sports day.

Some friends took me to Keystone for a change.

And there I’ve spent half of the day falling and having fun.

The other half was spent swimming at a local Sports Center, that was just great.

I will post some pictures soon as I’m about to get some sleep now.

Signing Off,

Ovi Dogar

Thursday, on February 9th, I will take off from Bucharest. Should be in Denver at 15:05 local time.

I’m really getting excited about this trip.
Once I will be in Denver I will buy a new notebook and will get it connected as soon as possible.

Untill then…

Signing off,

I’ve started this blog to share a little something from my life.

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time but never had found the time. Now, that I’m about to go to Las Vegas, I think that keeping a blog would be an interesting experience.

Untill next time,
All the best,
Ovi Dogar
