clients in general can be quite narky.. its just natural for them to hate their service providers.. i dunno..
for the past 4+ years ive been worknig as a programmer and i have to deal with clients over the phone all the time.. we get abused all the time about why a button is not where they want it to be.. or why the keypress isnt the same as tab..
whats bugs me the most is the way some clients call up and knowing ur a female and assume u have no idea about computers or the software.. im thinking.. ur calling up someone whose designed the software for u.. how thick can u be in assuming that just cus im a female, i’d have no clue
just two weeks ago, i had a male client (and no.. female clients do the same) who doubted my knowledge in computers.. but i insisted id help him out.. and after about 2-3 hours of working with him (in the end HE didnt know what he was on about).. i finally got some respect from him..
i admit, im not highly literate in computers and how they work.. and there are some areas of the software i refuse to help with (the accounting side) but to assume that i am incapable of any sort of support is plain stupidity..
general perception .... like driving cars, home improvements ... technical stuff .. women seem to be struggling :) (not being sexist, just an observation)
sadzzie i hear ya. Deal with the same idiots every night.
When i do get customers who doubt my abilities, I put em on mute and yell out to everyone to make themselves unavailable, then advise the customer that if he doesnt wish to talk to me he can hang up and call again and get a different person to solve his problem.
The idiots do actually take on my advice waste 3 calls and realize I am the only one available
Intelligence in men and women is a gray and white matter
The study shows women having more white matter and men more gray matter related to intellectual skill, revealing that no single neuroanatomical structure determines general intelligence and that different types of brain designs are capable of producing equivalent intellectual performance
In general, men have approximately 6.5 times the amount of gray matter related to general intelligence than women, and women have nearly 10 times the amount of white matter related to intelligence than men. Gray matter represents information processing centers in the brain, and white matter represents the networking of – or connections between – these processing centers.
This, according to Rex Jung, a UNM neuropsychologist and co-author of the study, may help to explain why men tend to excel in tasks requiring more local processing (like mathematics), while women tend to excel at integrating and assimilating information from distributed gray-matter regions in the brain, such as required for language facility. These two very different neurological pathways and activity centers, however, result in equivalent overall performance on broad measures of cognitive ability, such as those found on intelligence tests.
Can I call you up… Sadzzz ??? I have complete confidence in you. I have a problem in my keyboard, there is one key missing “Anykey”
stupid Windows say press anykey
I know how you feel sadz. this may be a bit off topic and probably a whole new other thread, but when I went to pak, i got idiot qustions like “aap kau namaz parnay ati hai?” “aap kau Islam kah pata hai?”
i experienced the same backwardness when i went back home to azad kashmir in summer '02. days into my stay, my cousins starting asking me so how’s your girlfriend. bhai in inglastaan you come home at 2 a.m. in the morning after clubbing!!! then a weel later my little cousin tested if i could read urdu and made me read out this article of nuwa-e-waqt etc…
^ u know how many people have experienced the same sorts of "tests" and comments like that? its pretty crazy... people back home sometimes have such twisted ideas of what we get upto here in the west.. (south in my case)
I have complete confidence in you. I have a problem in my keyboard, there is one key missing “Anykey”
