    Earlier today, this exchange with a Level 1 Support rep took place over instant messenger:

    I am scared now. And I want to know which school she went to, so I can warn my friends not to send their kids there…

    Unfortunately, "Common Sense" is not a required course in public, or private educational institutions.

    However, it's a great pamphlet by Thomas Paine.

    Yeah, it is scary sometimes. I recently watched 2 young college grads trying to figure out how to get form Louisiana to Florida. Their GPS was messed up, so they had to constantly call someone who was on mapsearch to get them there. Could not read a map.

    And one of them, is a chemical engineer for a very well known US gas company... But can't read a map. :( And this was Baton Rouge to Tallahassee, not some backwoods journey.

    I have my own theory on it, but it does not fit on this forum. ;)

    WOW fantastic, sounds like the replies I get in work here, best one was me asking if finance can deal with flights to Belfast for me, reply "sorry we only deal with train travel".. me "ok then you have 2 months till my trip to find a train route to belfast".... finance.... "pause, think, cogs are turning and a reply of will have to look into that"

    Common Sense has left the building these days me thinks.

    Oh hell yes Augie, but I like to fly as its only 30mins or so from the local airport to Belfast City, and a great pub to drink in is the The Crown Bar (they even on this interwebby thingymajig), but lately I've been staying up towards the Uni of Belfast so drinking in some bars or hotel bars their, but the guinness is still the same.
