    How many on the mystery team? 6 mcsas and 4 other techs.
    They all cost less than one additional seat in nz.

    Don't even get me started on what that did to our sla for avg time to resolution or first call resolution.


    In most thinks in life you get what you pay for. Maybe less but rarely more.

    Edit.
    Reality - They didn't type notes. They just closed the job when they thought it was done.

    You haven't called Lenovo then. Clearly someone said to them VOIP was the best, then they wanted it delivered for a fraction of the price, because the quality of the line is so bad at times I tell them it's not worth it, I'll ring back...

    Actually, that isn't their worst problem... they sent the same part to me 3-4 times and also sent me emails saying they were looking for the part

    They sent me a whole laptop to replace some dead ram in a laptop that only had a couple of weeks to go on contract.
    According to the packing slip it was 2gb of ram for xyz model.

    Dell went one better. When a rep drove over her laptop they sent a tech. He ran some tests. They sent him a pile of parts taller than him and he came back and assembled it.
    The only surviving part? The SSD.
    Less than a month later he was back to replace that.

    Gotta love that by the book idea. Could have sent an entire machine sans drive... probably cheaper!

    Least you had something to work with. A few years back in Australian floods I got a call... We need two more laptops soon as. Ours have gone floating down the river in the ute

    You did. Nobody says whose fault it is. That's a different subject. You collided with a car and the car collided with you.

    It's how verbs work.

    Whilst technically correct it is not the way it works in the public mind. The first mentioned is usually taken as the culprit, for instance because it would never be said that a fence collide with a car but always it would be that the car collide with the fence, then the doer is presumed to be the initially mentioned, A hit B.

    Cops work on the principle that its always the bikes fault. This is predetermined.

    Utter shit. A number of the cops I know also ride including SCU. From what I have seen they very much do not work that way unless there is damning evidence to the contrary. Unfortunately there often is.

    Sadly I have to disagree.

    I attended a car v bike years back at the top of the Albany hill, when that was SH1. It was the night Oz played NZ at football at North Harbour stadium.

    The bike rider was a local part time gang member, with previous for a variety of things. The cops who turned up decided it was his fault, end of story.

    Me and a couple of the older ex-traffic cops had our suspicions, so we went and did some scene examinations the next day. It was apparent from the scene that the vehicles involved had been in different locations than first suspected. No Serious Crash Unit back in those days.

    Subsequently the car driver was charged, and convicted.

    It's too easy to close your eyes and see what you want to see, carrying personal beliefs into the outcome.

    I know quite a few Police bikers, but I also know a few with dark views toward bikers.

    No doubt formed by previous experience.
    Most non biker attitudes to bikers are formed by their most memorable experiences of them.

    It always makes me laugh when people dress like 1%ers and ride around on Harley's and wonder why cops treat them like... 1%ers.
