03:58 <PinkieShy> Its the new bible cure for depression and Anxiety..

04:01 <Thelema5> I hope that helps!

04:02 <Thelema5> I'm not one to comment on religious stuff, but at least the author is recommending omega-3 fatty acids and a nutrition based approach.

04:09 <PinkieShy> I thought my headphones had a short in it

04:09 <PinkieShy> Its working perfect now tho

04:10 <Thelema5> My headphone wires have a short, I have to tap it sometimes to get both sides working... But it's not hardwired, just a regular aux cord

04:11 <Thelema5> So I can relate

04:11 <DashedRainbows> I got over my fear of getting caught

04:12 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, how did you manage that?

04:37 * Thelema5 is randomly missing the free staff lunches he got when working at a failing 1940's hotel... they were a critical social event shared with other staffers

04:38 <Thelema5> The food was terrible, and there were no vegetarian options... but I miss it quite a bit

04:49 * DashedRainbows dances around

04:50 <Thelema5> Spent some time today in my therapy session with a guy who is an idiot

04:50 <Thelema5> Total waste of time

04:52 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 don't you agree $1000 for a i7 nvidia machine is alot bettre than getting ripped off for $500-$600 computer that final payoff is $2000

18:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> Thelema5: Have you heard about our Premium Answer Plus package?

18:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> The issue is that people who actually know what they're doing are often in positions other than support

18:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> Because they're more valueable elsewhere

18:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> valuable*

18:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> Support stuff in many companies get a couple of hours of training plus a FAQ catalog of some sort.

18:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also many believe that every contact with the customer should be used to upsell them rather than solve their issue

18:13 <Starlight_Glimmer> Selling products makes money. Support doesn't.

18:14 <Starlight_Glimmer> This is further worsened if support staff gets incentives for selling you stuff.

18:15 <Starlight_Glimmer> Because suddenly this is what they optimize their language and abilities for.

18:15 <Starlight_Glimmer> Makes sense: Who doesn't want a bigger paycheck.

18:16 <Thelema5> Yeah, I get the underlying reasons... but there comes a point where it just becomes counterproductive.

18:16 <Thelema5> "I can't get your product to work, please help"...

18:16 <Thelema5> "Okay, let me seel you another product!"

18:17 <Thelema5> "No, I'll look elsewhere.  Thanks."

18:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well they optimize for standard cases which usually aren't really big issues

18:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> I ask myself every time why I need to cancel my phone contract just so customer "recovery" can call me with a better offer.

18:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's the exact same procedure every 2 years

18:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> Just give me the more attractive offers already when I ask for me :P

18:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> for them*

18:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> Related: I had contact with Dell support recently and they were amazing

18:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> I assume the closer you get to business support the better the service

18:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> Because usually businesses don't make purchase decisions on phone they don't try there.

21:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> Ewh. Use like UTC offsets

21:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean it least it's the correct timezone for summer time

21:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> People get that wrong all the time

21:20 <Finwe> But everypony knows that EEST = GMT+3. o3o

21:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> debatable

21:22 * Schism rolls over to Finwe and offers a bowl of basil, tomato and garlic bisque with sliced scallops.

21:22 * Finwe noms on the soup.

21:23 <Finwe> Actually, what I had for lunch today was fish soup.

21:23 <Finwe> I haven't had time to eat anything since then.

21:23 * Sleeping_Nightmares eees

21:23 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

21:24 * Finwe noms on Filly_Nightmares's tail.

21:25 * Schism eyebrows at Surry, and offers a cream of chicken soop wif lots of carrots, celery, onion, and garlic, and also rice.

21:44 <Finwe> !lullaby

21:44 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed

21:44 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby

21:44 <Finwe> !shoo

21:44 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"

21:44 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
