I've just rang Telstra to change my billing address for my mobile phone account.
After giving her the details, she's interupted our progress with...
"I'm sorry, my computer seems to have frozen. I'll need to run over and use someone elses, please hold the line for just a minute."
GOLD! PURE GOLD!
What she didn't tell me is that this "minute" was actually a "Telstra minute". For those of you unsure what this is, it's reasonably similar to a "Microsoft minute".
Telstra... *sigh
she probly got there and she's like, omg your computer has solitaire!!! ill just play this for a second :P
During the times we're getting bad pings to game servers via BP - should see what sort of delay times they got accessing the Telstra network when accessing records etc.
damn telstra.

Oh so your wait was anything between 16 seconds to 7962615309 hours......
:shock: :shock:
Telstra minutes are bad, when calling up telstra from work to get users connected to mobile phone contracts we have to wait at least 15 minutes.
And the hold music is always interupted by " your time is important to us" sort of sayings
I think this says it all. I was pretty steamed up when I got this message...
BTW it was on a hub which was doing nothing but transferring these files... NerdBurger will verify...

I should probably start laughing at that point.
All MS OS's do that, if you want to know how long it will take and probably get it done quicker, set up an ftp and fxp the stuff across. I do it all the time and it says how long it will take and it seems to transfer it a hell of alot quicker.
Or get linux and do it the way you normally do, it will actually say how long it has (pretty much to the exact second :))
Just over 10 years you say? You must use different years and hours to the rest of us. Must be that pentium rounding error.
omg you can't even divide properly u suck
and you haven't gotten that before?? happens all the time? and you stop using an OS because of that??
what do u do if it crashes and you lose a few documents?? cry?? commit suicide??
did you include leap years ? and when was it started ? hmm not good at all.
Ten years aint too bad, just make sure no one picks up the phone and breaks your connection :roll:
