Soooooo... This lady came in and wanted to use the computer. one computer was being used, the other was taken apart, and the 3rd one had all kinds of junk everywhere. She asked me "what happened here? Did a bomb hit?" I just giggled a bit and said "Yeah, it's kind of messy." So I spent about 20 min moving stuff away from that 3rd computer, booted it, it just kept locking up and locking up, so I took it off the bench, and put up a Win98 computer that I KNOW works, because I got it working like 3 months ago. She started getting grouchy with me saying "I have things to do! Step on it!" I said to her "I'm trying as fast as I can." so I loaded that one up, and found that someone tinkered with it and there was only a 2MB PCI video card and it would only display four colours (CGA mode 320x200), so I spent a few more minutes upgrading the video card, and getting it in 800x600 32bit colour mode (more than you need for Win98) and had the computer working. I asked the other three people in the store to help me out some, but they just joked around back in the lab playing hacky sack with a broken hard drive.
Then, I had to use the bathroom. I successfully did that, but when I went to flush it, the bowl just kept filling up with water. So I quickly turned the valve, and used the plunger, but the whole bathroom floor was already filled with about an inch of water by then. No MOP, no BUCKET, not even a sponge, not even paper towel, not even a dirty tissue! I asked for some help , maybe to go next door and see if I could borrow the mop, instead they went out back and were laughing at me. I got Matt to ask Lynn if she knew where a mop was, but it took him 10 minutes to say "All she said was "Why do we need a mop, we have carpet!" And he told her "Well, the toilet overflowed." She just told Matt "Deal with it! I'm busy with a CUSTOMER!" Then I heard them say "Ewww! I'm not mopping up piss!" So I finally after a few min, my pants, shoes, and socks soaked, just said "FUCKIT!" and drove home.
