I'm the guy that get forwarded to about 10 other help desk people, looking for one that can figure out what the hell went wrong. Usually, they wind up telling me "Uhhhhh I'm sorry, we don't support that" and hang up. This is always about sofware that is critical to me doing my job. |

more toilet facts...
