~11:00 roughly

a woman comes in with a return work. she claims that we did not do any of the things it was originally brought in for. she snappily whips out a paper with notes on it, which she throws in my face. first of all, i dont even know which work order this is from, as i did not work on it, and she already has an attitude. i have a hard time reading her handwriting and she proclaims that "it isnt THAT bad" and cant understand why i cant make it out. she sighs heavily and proceeds to fire off one problem after another from the list. i decide to plug it in to find out whats what. our boss hears the commotion and decides to help me out.
she claims the CD drives do not work, the web cam is not installed, the fax does not work, and that media center should be maximized when they log into windows. i mentally facepalm because her husband was quite the sarcastic prick when he came in as well, and i was not enjoying our little dialoge this early in the morning. my boss and i have her go though the list again, trying to get her to slow down. when we ask her a question about something to clarify, she gets snoody with both of us. "WHAT is so difficult about this!? i just dont understand! why couldnt this be taken care of in the first place!" after she leaves, and get a chance to auctually look at the computer, it appears that all of those things HAD been taken care of. the webcam worked fine, the CD drives read ok, roxio was installed (i have no idea why however) and maximizing media center was literally a one click endevor.

black guy with sunglasses, and oversized black shirt that states "i heart boobs" in huge white font. hard to understand slang but nice and wants his computer checked out. see subnormality comic about "wizards and shiiiit".

boomer comes in, literally. gurgling and with food in the corners of his mouth. wants to start a music buisness with his 5yr old dell crapbox. hes got "hundreds of CDs from the 80s and 90s, from when we [points to me] were in school" while im typing up the work order i thought i would be puked on and swarmed by zombies. i just heard heavy wheezing and gas bubbling up from his gullet.
