I work for a company called Australian Computer Traders as an account manager and we control all the roll outs of the Ex Gov and ex Cooperate gear and re-sell it again. Most of it goes for export or goes to our business clients or wholesale, But we also have a showroom for some general retail. Been that purchasing a Ex Gov computer (still perfectly fine for your everyday use) it's a very cost effective way to purchase a computer with out paying $1000's+ you could imagine we do have to deal with the..... bottom end of society sometimes.
They were a bit busy in the show room yesterday and i came out to help and had this lady come in complaining that her machine that she purchased a month ago won't turn on. So i was like okay i will have a look at it out the back. Now i know there is a Common problem with the machine with the fact that they can have blown or raised capacitor on the boards so i thought that i would open it up and have a look.
Open the machine up and there when HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of little cockroaches that come pouring out of it. I am am serious when i mean that, they went frikin everywhere. So i picked up the machine and threw it out side, got the customer out the back to have a look and the excuse's come flying out. "oh oh were getting the place fumigated, it must of been the boys eating food near the thing".
Sometimes i wonder what kind of shit hole these people live in.
God it's a slow day......
