CapsLockGirl finds an apprentice.

Another day, another new employee to contend with.

Where do they find these people? I wonder if there is some kind of Anti-Computing-Knowledge-Persons club that exists only to torment me, and that my company hires exclusively through them.

Since CapsLockGirl is gone, this new girl is forever known as her replacement, and by the sounds of things, she will live up to her title.

CapsLockGirlReplacement: "When I log into my e-mail in the mornings, it comes up with a user/pass prompt." (note: she didn't say this, it was more of a "ugh the internet is asking me for another password I just want to check my mail", real fucking helpful)
Me: "Ok, just type in your use-"
CapsLockGirlReplacement: "Nah, I don't do that, I just escape it away and it goes away! Easy fixed!"
Me: "But you're not auth-"
CapsLockGirlReplacement: "Yea, it still comes up with the little message in the bottom about the password, but I ignore that!"


I think I let out a little sob over the phone. I sort out her problem, but no less than 2 minutes later, she calls again! 


CapsLockGirlReplacement: "I typed it in, and it didn't work!"
Me: "Please tell me what's in the user name field."
CapsLockGirlReplacement: "The box? DomainName\"
Me: "...Yes? \what?"
CapsLockGirlReplacement: "Nothing, that's all"
Me: "..."

Maybe it's just a Sydney thing.
