Actual trouble ticket from my job. I wanted to call her up and explain that I was sorry her computer was crushed but I didn't want to be its' rebound affair. Maybe call me when the computer is feeling less vulnerable.

I remember learning typing in High School on those old typewriters with all the letter bars. It always forgave my fumbly attempts at speed. I little untangling and away we went.

i got a 990 board in where the service rep wrote on the ticket "Fails Tuesdays"
I gave it a workout and wrote "Works fine on Wed"
Never saw the board again.

One of my best friends' dad worked at TI in Dallas in the 70s but I think he got laid off in the 80s.
