Lights! FORM ACTION
  Hi Mom
6:24 pm
    --- I've got the Tech-cam working. Now the world may once again gape at the amazing stunts performed by technical support peons. ("Agents" they're called at Symantec). Mostly you can look at me because the web cam server is sitting next to my desk and it's not going anywhere. So watch me eat. Go ahead. SEE us scratch our heads in confusion. SEE me sit in un-ergonomic positions.

    --- I really want to get out of tech. I hate talking to these people. I HATE it. It's not their fault. But talking with them and helping them through their problems makes my head hurt. It's the distance. I have to use their eyes and their hands to do things. And they are sooooo unfamiliar with the places we have to go and the things we need to do. When it takes EIGHT MINUTES to get someone to click on an "Okay" button your head starts to smolder and ashes start falling out of your ears as you incinerate three hundred thousand brain cells in repulsion. Fuck. I am helping the type of people who called me a nerd in high school because I liked reading about computers. Of course, they are all matured and grown up, but they still don't know anything about computers. And now they suddenly want to use them.
  Crazing

    --- I dunno what "Crazing" is, but apparently filling my new acrylic mug with boiling liquids can cause it, over time. Filling my mouth with boiling liquids seems to cause crazing too. Crazing is a big problem here in tech support. "It's very easy to go insane in tech support, because everything is so weird in the first place." (Ed.)
