captain_slinky | Best Job EVER (update)

Today was the end of my first week in training to wrok at Comcast. If you remember correctly, that is the job where i will be PAID to watch TV. Unfortunately, I may have screwed that up by not being as rock-stupid as all the other new hires.

See, Comcast doesn't only do Cable TV, they also do High Speed internet. And they had 9 positions on the High Speed Internet Team to fill with people in this training class, so they gave us all a "Internet Skill Assesment" test. 34 people took this test. I answered nearly every question with an answer of "I think it's something to do with my computer, but I'm not sure", figuring that there was no way in HELL that there would be any less than 25 people who would get more wrong than me.

But I guess that "I think it's something to do with my computer, but I'm not sure" beat the crap out of the responses they were getting to this quiz "What's TCP/IP? That's that new toilet paper made out of cotton, innit?"

So some time in January, *I* will be giving people technical support and trouble shooting tips on their internet connectivity issues. ME! The guy who will still occasionally refer to his compter as "The TV with the keyboard under it"!
