The office tech support provider has been changed from a delightful group of midwestern folk to the standard East Asian fare.   Today, I discovered that this group only offers basic technical support and should you have a trickier question it goes elsewhere.  The real gem is if you have an FTP or remote access issue; from our best guesses one gets to talk to Newark’s finest.

It’s refreshing to hear a corrupted databased referred to as both “whack” and “fubar” compared to a “dope” Oracle setup.  The operator knew his stuff and shant be fronting and recommended we opt for the safer VPN option rather than the FTP/Remote Desktop.   <white circle 1997>I’m not exactly sure in what hood he rolls his non-hoopdie ride but he was so helpful I wished not to get all up his grill about it.</white circle 1997>

I have no problem with America diversifying.  I look forward to having a multi-racial president, I have no problem with immigration and I think the benefits of multiculturalism are immense.  I was tested today when I received a note that my time card had to be in sooner due to the holidays, and it was entirely in Spanish.   Oddly, the sheet used the informal favor instead of the more Americanized por favor for “please”.

If this is the emerging trend I hope the Warlpiri never become our dominant ethnic minority.
