    Glad you got great service. Not my store, I work for the other company.

    Well, let's assume then that he does a better job because there is an ATT right outside his door (not kidding) and he's been shown the right way to treat people by watching them.

    My DS #2 called me and informed me that he donated blood the other day and the place called him and told him he has West Nile Virus! He is totally asymptomatic and was told only 25% of people get sick.
    Only this child would get this. Of course, he is not a child, but still... he was laughing and I did not think it was funny!

    Some people can just do that, others, not so much. Most in the stores are just great with people and the technology. We're rated on so many metrics; customer satisfaction of course, order quality. tickets, the number of times I actually fix the problem you called about in the first place and so on. Those ratings vary day to day and even minute to minute. But on most days I'm up close to the top, on several times I've actually been number 1 in the company. I should frame that memo.

    But I could not do the work in the stores. I would not be able to keep from laughing at some of the sillier things people do to/with their devices.

    But I was very happy to fix a gals phone recently. She'd gone riding, stuffed her iPhone into her bra not knowing where else to keep it, where it got wet and died. I got it running again. Of course told her to go and get a bento box or under seat bag, maybe from TE for next time.

    SO excited, the girl child is in my house! Heading to the market and a fun day of goofing off, tomorrow we drive 8 hours as she has an interview at 9am Monday for the nursing program she is hoping to be accepted into. Of course then we have to drive back 8 hours but hey, daughter time is the best.

    Note to self: do not go to a dr's appointment wearing bike gear, even if you're cycling to work afterwards. It's a well known fact that you can have no health concerns if you're wearing sports clothing and have tanned legs

    I hear you. I realize I'm healthier than most of her other patients, but my goals are a bit more than just 'not being sick.' Since my close family has an alarming history of heart disease with very few symptoms
    I like to keep on top of things.

    re looking tan and being healthy- right unless your doctor starts lecturing you about sun screen and skin cancer.

    Whenever the nurse takes my pulse and bp she always has to do it twice to "make sure I'm alive."

    One of the times I fell the ER doctor wanted to keep me in overnight and run all sorts of cardio tests becuse of my bp and heart rate. I finally convinced him to call my regular MD and talk to her . He ket going on about my "circle of willis being starved" and that I was obviously brachyocardic.

    My regular Dr. is a sensible older Irish woman who says as long as I don't have to "shift the coffin lid in the morning to get out of bed" that I am doing well.
