oooohhhh nnnnoooooooooo!!!!
This CAIN'T be good.
My husband has a computer. Of his own. At work.
He can't even turn mine on without hollering at me at least twice.
Obviously, the people over there don't know who they're dealing with! Mr. CompuHandicap!
Last night, he called to say he was staying at the office (HIS office...inside the breakroom...at the shop *grin*) to play around with the computer some. When Corey told him we had pork chops for supper, he suddenly didn't have to fiddle with it anymore.
LOL!
But tonight? Well, I was in the process of tracking down nasty scammer people and hadn't got supper started, so when he called with the same message again, I told him it'd be at least an hour til supper.
That was all well and good....til he called me. Wanting to ask me computer questions.
Now, it's not that I minded helping him. But he spent the first 45 minutes asking me stuff about how to change the color scheme and background! It was all I could do to keep from alternately screaming and laughing my head off.
IT WAS SOOOOOOO FUNNY!
...until we were STILL on the phone almost 2 hours later.
By then I was getting pretty tired and a little cranky.
I guess Corey could hear the fatigue in my voice so he walked into the bedroom and picked up the extension. From there, I just said, "It's after 9pm. Supper's ready. I'm hungry. We're eating. G'bye."
Tommy finally walked in the door a little after 9:30pm (no we didn't eat without him) and his first statement was Time just flies when you're on the computer!
*blink, blink* He DIDN'T just say that, did he? Not after getting gripey at me about taking "too long" on the computer? A MILLION TIMES!! And when I'm actually doing stuff?????
'Nuff said.

Yeah, D has called me from work a couple of times asking me questions about their computer at work. They even have a different OS that we do, so I know NOTHING about theirs! I only know enough about computers to get this one to limp along. It was funny "Well, on ours I do this, but DON'T click anything unless your sure!" LOL I'm so NOT taking responsibility for doing something to their work computer! With all the customer records!! Nope, not going there!!!!!
That's funny that Corey picked up the phone and told his Dad that! lol
It's also funny that everyone tells me that I spend too much time on the comp. (SO NOT TRUE!) But the 1st SECOND it messes up on them, who do they call to come and spend time on the comp fixing it?!?!?!?!
hehehehehehehe Next time I should tell them "I'm sorry,I've had my computer time for today, I'll try and find the time to work on it tomorrow or the next day!" ROFLOL Somehow I don't think D would like that answer! ROFLOL He does like his eb@y!

Yeah, so ironic that when you're on there doin' 'portant stuff, it's "too long", but when THEY are on there changing backgrounds on the desktop, it's "Oh, my! Dearie me! How time flies when I *work* on the computer! *dumb grin*"
gah!

Ain't it the truth!? Me, too. Mainly b/c he asks a bazillion questions and b/c he gets all flustered when the hateful, decrepit thing acts up and expects me to fix it.
KNOWING how often *I* have the same problems with it!!!
Gah!

"Okay, do I click OK or Apply? Oh! Wait! My box disappeared! Oh. No, there it is... Now, how do I play Solitare again?"
ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't know he was THAT bad off. I am literally LOL. Too funny.
Glad you had the patience to help him. Shoulda had him come pick you up so you could just show him in person.
still LOLing...
:D

Yeah. He's quite the illiterate. ;)
I'm a sucker for the helpless, I guess. *pththt*
Amazingly, he IS learning stuff all the time. The question is WILL I SURVIVE IT!
