At my day job I’m forever getting emails from people wanting to sell us software or their marketing services, introduce their business, etc. None of which I can help them with but they keep emailing.
Today I got one that said “Trying to connect” in the subject line.
So I reply back and take out all the info that looks like a reply then add in a line at the top that says”Connection timed out. Retry? (Y/N)”
Now I’m guessing he was hired on his ability to sell, not use a computer, and so I see him getting this reply, and hitting the “Y” key to get it to retry.
It’s not going to work because it’s just an email. He’s going to hit it a dozen times, close it and reopen it, and eventually he’s going to call his IT guy.
Hopefully the IT guy will get the joke and keep it going by having him do stuff like reboot his computer, close his browser, and so on.
I spend ten minutes giggling at my joke because I’ve just had such a bad day that I needed something to make me feel better.
Anyway, it’s an IT type of joke, so it’s funny to computer geeks.
Here’s today’s word search puzzle.
Enjoy!
