Sergo, the tech, said he´s got a regular customer with a very old computer and the same thing, of course, always happens. When he´s watching, nothing goes wrong. So she finally took a picture of him and has it frame on her desk facing her computer. She figures as long as he´s watching the computer will behave.

As for no longer giving information, I did understand that. The office closes at 2 for siesta and then reopens in the afternoon for appointment-only business. A lot of people are there just to ask questions. Others, like me, to pick up documents or drop off documents. The questions take the most time. So, for the last half hour before siesta they try to move everyone with specific business quickly through by having two processing desks instead of an information desk and a processing desk. And, if that makes sense to you, then you'll have to explain to me why sometimes they have 2 combination information/processing desks and sometimes no processing desk at all, and sometimes you get a number and sit in the waiting room, and sometimes you get a number and sit in the office without numbers, and sometimes you can go directly to the office, and sometimes you have to first sit in the waiting room for 35 seconds. As Harry Belafonte said: It was clear as mud and it cover the ground and the confuSION made me brain go round.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-72029424992651013002012-08-28T11:39:02.616+02:002012-08-28T11:39:02.616+02:00The Odd Essay:

I've been having the same problem recently. <br /><br />That hip pocket photo is at such an odd angle, it actually makes it look like I've got a substantial hip pocket. I don't. That's the same angle they use for underwear ads, and now I know why (although I don't think those are self-produced).<br /><br />I've got to get the computer over to repair but not "feeling it" today.
