Me: "Ok, let me reset the user."

Me (after about 15 mins of troubleshooting): "Ok, the light on the computer, is it flashing?"

Them: "No, it is not. No lights are on at all."

Me: "Is the computer on?"

Them: "I think so, but I am not sure."

Me (after the light came on in MY head): "Is the PC plugged into the wall?'

Them: "No, does that matter?"

Them (after calling me AT HOME AT 4:30 A.M.): "Hey, I cannot get my computer to work."

Me: "How did you get my home number?"

Them: "The phone book."

Me: "Do you really think I can do anything from home?"

Them: "Well I don't know but my PC won't work and these patients need their dialysis."

Me: "You do not need the PC to do dialysis. What time is your first patient?"

Them: "At 6."

Me: "I will be at work at 8, I will call you then."

Them: "But my first patient is at 6."

Me: "Your PC does not have anything to do with the dialysis equipment."

Them: "I know but it is not working."

Me: "Neither am I. I will call you at 8."


omg this made me giggle as i have had such conversations with my sales reps!
