As I’m in the process of slowing shutting down other sites I’ve worked on (due to time constraints), I’m reposting them here. Here’s an article from “Behind The Frontline” which was going to be a cross between I Work With Fools, Worse Than Failure and Dilbert.

Me:”Hello, tech support”
Peon:”Hi – I can’t log into the system” (that’s helpful!)
Me:”Did you receive your username and password”
Peon:”Yes. It’s xxxx and yyyyy”
Me:”Good. What seems to be the problem?”
Peon:”I don”t know what to put in the boxes” (a bit more description would have been nice, but let’s see where this is going..)
Me:”What does it say next to the boxes?”
Peon:”One says username and the other says password”
Me:”Ok, in the box next to username, put your username which is xxxx as in the email”
Peon:”Yes..” (and, at this point, I am hearing the penny slowly drop)
Me:”And in the box next to password, put your password which is yyyy as in the email”
Peon:”Thanks *giggles* I bit you think I”m a right idiot don’t you?”
Me:”Not at all sir” (I actually think your a whole idiot and not just the right side of one!).
