Lord forgive me for laughing too hard at this person/situation... I kid you NOT!
So today while everything was going well, we suddenly had network issues at work. We worked to get everything back up online asap and then sent out an email for those affected to either restart their machines or refresh their desktops but we recommend restarting... After some few client calls, this special call came in..
Riiing, riiiiiing, ring....
Me: hi, how can help you?
Client: *laughing.. This is probably a stupid question but I forgot how to "refresh" my desk top..the thing is, I have Febreeze but I don't think that's for desk tops.
Me: Wait, what? 🤔 Febreeze for what?😕
Client: You guys sent an email to refresh our desk tops and I said I have Febreeze so how will that get my things in the computer back to show again?
Me: Ohhh, no no. We meant your computer desktop. You don't need Febreeze. Right click anywhere on your computer in the screen and select refresh from the pop up menu. We meant your computer "desktop" not your actual "desk top".
Client: *starts laughing...I told you it was a stupid question
Me: don't worry.. It wasn't stupid.
After I hang up, some of my team members asked me why someone is asking about Febreeze...I told them and they all started laughing hysterically
I was still trying to digest the conversation I had just have on the phone. 😂😂😂12 -
Vuejs is great. I havent read any of the docs, only the first part of how to make components, and pretty sure i just hackes shit together but i now have a working site. It just speeds everything up, unlike fucking angular lol.10

Today FileZilla saved my life by storing all site connection passwords in base64
Without it we'd have lost access to an old production server 👌6 -

There was a problem with a server we were staging on, and I was providing DevOps help remote.
As a joke I said, "haha if you run `sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root` everything will be fixed!"
They ran it. RIP server-kun 2016-2018 💨34
