Re-Post: TGIFfunnies 6/14/24 EDITION: When Things Go Wrong
Posted by deleted 6 months, 1 week ago to Humor
For some reason this issue posted as deleted! but the interweb went nuts while I was publishing. I also never received reply notifications so I decided to Re Post along with the early comments.
Great job OUC
Me in 1963. Look at the one on the extreme left,
behind him there is another further to the left,
that is me.
They said I would not turn out well, they were right.
(Extreme left depending on which way you are facing may be extreme right)
settings messed up and every repost gets the "Posted by delete'
guess I am part of the Delete class now?
Oh well, . . .
Maybe a Re BOOT! will help
Anyone want to see what bad dino wrote, scroll down in New.
What you wrote is still on the original further down the page.
PS, ITMTyme posted out just fine, it's in HOT now and no sign of anymore deleting.
The very first post had problems so I posted a new one after I deleted the first but someone commented before I did that, It just made everything worse.
The personal visits were usually like this: "I need to get the report printed out now. I have a plane to catch. Why isn't the system up, you idiot?" (If I answer the question you just asked you'll miss that plane.)
Had I been running computers for counting votes the scenarios would have been totally different.
Modern systems get "hacked" for reasons we all understand. You don't need to know the details, but Don't Click On That Link That Promises You Money Or Luscious Women.
I could not even have got on the Internet if I had not called my tech savvy son still living with my ex and long story short said, "HELP!"
Watching what he had to do with fingers flying all over the keyboard blew my dino mind.
It only took me a couple of months later to realize there is more sociopathic con artist scum and villainy skulking around on the Internet than all the convicted felons in Alabama's largest maximum security prison that I used to work at.
That prison is named after an Officer Donaldson. It was called the West Jefferson Correctional Facility up until a very tragic day.
Donaldson relieved me to work a post he got killed on roughly 4 hours later.
Friend of ours lost about $2500 to an internet person who promised matrimony. Claimed to be US Army.
Cheap international long-distance telephone offers scamming, too. If I get faked calls obviously from India I curse them in Hindi.
I started to diversify to more inclusively list other attempts to defraud me on the phone but just now decided not to use my time better.
Then I learned from someone whose wife was in that business that callers seeking donations or to sell something for a large part make "multiple calls" for having the gear that calls several people at the same time. First to answer is come first, first harassed, so to speak.
So now should my caller ID indicate I'm getting such a call, I press on the answering button, count to five and turn the phone off.
That much at least will mess up a "multiple call" because now I get far less calls than I did a year ago.
Guess they have the means to know I'm the one pulling that nifty stunt.
