[Grubb's] Random Thoughts of the Day

[Ho]

Are you asking if I don't know my place in history or are you asking if I don't know what woot means?

[Merk]

The former.

Woot is shorthand for "Wonderful Loot."

[Ho]

That would actually be the latter.

I take the new school definition of it being an exclamation like 'yay'.

[Merk]

Brian, horry shit. I was clearly, CLEARLY making two different statements there. The first answers your question from the previous post, the second states the definition of woot which we all know to be self-evident, making the presumption that I was referring to the latter a most foolhardy one.

Horry. Shit.

[Ho]

You give me more credit than I give myself. And I still define woot as a simple exclamation.

[Merk]

Correct, the living language we live with has pigeon-holed Woot into an interjection of overwhelming joy and elation.

[MonMotha]

The former.

Woot is shorthand for "Wonderful Loot."

No, "woot" is the sound characters in old school first person shooters make when they jump. Everybody knows that.

merk your dexter thread is my current favorite thread and I see it has so many new posts but as I have not seen the most recent episode I have refrained from clicking it and it saddens me but I will watch soon and shortly rejoin the playful banner and community feeling we share from watching the same piece of television

You're going to absolutely love the thread then after you watch the new episode. There are some great .gifs and .jpgs.

I recap the latest episode at the top of the latest page so yeah definitely don't click. The latest episode ends on a pretty suspenseful note though so watch it ASAP. This upcoming episode is going to be fucking awesome.

I have an interview for a full-time support position with IU next Thursday at 1:00pm.

How am I supposed to deal with unruly customers? That's always the hardest question. My answer usually goes:

- Listen to the customer and make sure you understand the issue
- Empathize with them (I'm sorry you're having trouble, I understand, etc. etc.)
- Don't be the slightest bit confrontational
- Offer management involvement if they insist on not working with me
- Bring up their complaints to management, it could be a systemic issue on how we handle customers

Does that sound good or is there something I'm missing?
