… continued from Day 1 Read it here.
Beep beep be beep beep. That is me phoning Microsoft support. Yes! I really love phoning support and traversing the layers of Microsoft support employees, trickling its way down eventually to the developers that make this glorious software that not many people understand for some reason.
I get this dude Micheal, we open an incident together.
He tells me he needs a credit card to pay for this incident,
“WHATTTTTT! I am an MSDN subscriber”, I exclaim.
“Sorry your majesty”, “Just one second”
He reads off my incident number in the most bored, I hate my f!#ken job, this number is way too f$%ken long tone. Hey, I don’t blame him. Thanks dude.
So the incident is open. I have to wait 8 business hours to get a return call from first line of support, Most likely from India. I go for lunch, come back and there is a message. Yeah of course, it is from Microsoft India. There is little bit of language barrier can’t understand the email address, B as in Charles …. C or B have no idea. Luckily I can understand the phone number. So I phone this dude, Very nice guy, seems really bored as well. We have a live meeting date, we hold hands and I explain my problems.
I cannot continue Fritz, I can’t go on any further with this lie! I am not a developer …
It is ok dude, it wouldn’t work anyway. To much distance between us.
So he forwards my email to sharepoint development support … A nice girl named Amy. I send Amy the details on what I am trying to do. She has no idea of what MVC is … boo ha. I think Microsoft must put each employee in a bubble and not let them do anything outside of the bubble. You have been bubbled into the sharepoint development support, you will do nothing else but SHARRRRREPOINT Development support HAHAH HAHHAHAHHAH AH !
So I am waiting for the lovely Amy to replicate the same configuration as mine in her environment, I wonder if her environment is the same as earths …. maybe it is different … Maybe I should just, smash all the servers at work and burn all the back ups, and spray paint 666 all over the server room …. nah I am just going to kick it up with some tunes and let it burn until Monday ….. kyuss….. Stay tuned for Day 3!
