Well the Hurricane is past and I can say that it looked fairly mellow from my balcony. But it wasn't. It knocked out power for about a quarter of the province and half of those people were in Halifax county. That makes the first weather event in 7 years that didn't take my power out though. Lots of downed trees.
Good news is it has finally cooled down. Rather cold comfort for those poor blokes who have to clean up their property now. All in all I'd say Hurricane Juan was worse though. I imagine work will be short staffed tomorrow as there will be more than a few folks who have more important things to do than take calls from irate americans so I am turning in early tonight.

Glad to hear it. (Well except the whole irate Americans thing. Good thing AT&T can't even find my house-- literally-- which is why I'm signed up with a rural phone company.)

Well not all my customers are irate. In fact in my project they are usually putty in my hands. Lots of people think they understand how wireless service works even when they have no sweet clue. Many many people are more than happy to admit they don't understand computers. So laptop calls are cake. Too bad they dumped the damn ipad in my project's lap. Most of our calls are about that damn thing now, good for handle time though as they are usually quick fixes.

I don't even like to deal with Americans. You must have patience in spades. =O

I'm actually not very patient. But I am quite tolerant and regardless of reality I sound very much like I know what I am talking about. That gives loads of time to figure out what the ever loving hell I'm doing

No matter how ignorant you are, if your bullshit talent is high enough then it's all good! ;D (I wish mine was that good...)
