having fun

Sent this as a warranty replacement request to Dell this afternoon:

"Hard drive is dead. Dead, dead, dead. Pushing up the daisies, shuffled off this mortal coil, it is an ex-hard drive.

Can't format, can't write, disk utilities don't like it, it's way gone, man.

Please kindly ship a replacement drive. No need for a technician, just ship that puppy out and I'll get it replaced for its dearly departed brother so we can revive the machine in which it resides.

Cheers and thanks --

-- a very punchy IT manager named stacey :^) "

Got a reply...very business-like, "We will ship your replacement drive blah blah". And then at the bottom: "(btw, thx for the laugh :D)"

I love IT. I love IT people. I love IT people who get the jokes, and share them, and acknowledge them.
