The guy below us is a fucking spaz…

RAGE

Sure, it’s my fault for going to bed at 4:50am, and everyone is entitled to freak out once in a while, but this dude seems to do it on a daily basis. I seriously think there is something wrong with him.

I woke up this morning at 9:02am to the sound of a closet door slamming, and muffled shouting. Not impressed.

There’s a good chance that I’ll be in a grumpy mood now thanks to him. WTF.

Dude, its Saturday. Save your meltdowns for the weekdays when I have to get up early anyway. Settle down, breathe deep, and maybe pop a valium or two… or three… better make that ten.

The internet saves my ass again!

From the mind of Evan Roberts

While not paying attention, I forgot to press “9″ to get an outside line when I was trying to call my Father for something. The call didn’t go through, but for some reason it screwed up my phone. The “FEATURE” button was flashing, which I found odd, and didn’t think anything of it.

However, Molly tried to call me after her shift, and she couldn’t get through to my extension. I tried from my cell, and it didn’t work either. Even more alarming, I tried to call my extension from a co-worker’s phone, and it didn’t even work then! So… somehow, I had knocked myself out of the phone system. I could still take customer calls (yay!), but other than that, I couldn’t be contacted via the phone.

Great.

The manuals we have here for the phone system are beyond useless, as they expect that you’ve gone through a course to be taught how to configure this thing with your eyes closed. Unfortunately, I have not taking such a course, and the manuals quickly made my existing headache worse. I didn’t want to have easyDNS contact the phone system company and have them send someone out just to fix this, thus resulting in a service charge, so I opted to see if I could figure it out myself (what the hell… I had to stay late anyway).

Turns out, the power of the internet has been proven to me yet again, and has saved my ass. :-D

Thanks to this post, it would appear that I had inadvertently set my phone to “do not disturb”. Simply pressing “FEATURE”, then typing “69″ (hah!) on the number pad, and hitting “FEATURE” once more, returned my phone to it’s normal accessible self. Kick ass! Not only did I save a service call to the phone system company which might have cost us some dough, I was able to fix it and don’t have to fess up to ANYTHING!

…well, other than the fact that I wrote about this on my blog… but who cares? ;-)

I guess I can leave the office now!
