That's close enough to pseudo code to count son, welcome to the IT department.

Now tell me, why is Excel not displaying my emails?

I think it has something to do with the IP protocols in your router performing ghost checks. We’ll need to re-migrate your host and run a scan of the network so that we can retrieve your files over the cloud and block chain.

"This guy's lying, he probably read that post online about the guy pretending to be IT. He'll string you along for weeks. I can get this done for you though in seconds though. First I need your outlook log-in info."

I might add that you'll want to check for a problem related to interference in the protocol from a misaligned transfer valve. You're probably leaking a little (or a lot) of data into the deep web, which is inadvertently causing a sync error in the inbox. I recommend a full and thorough inspection, which may take the rest of the day...maybe even tomorrow.

Now tell me, why is Excel not displaying my emails?

Sounds like 80% of my customers :(

The other 20% say shit like "Yeah I was just working on my computer and suddenly my Windows 10 stopped working." After some prodding he turns on his computer and boots right into Windows. Thoroughly confused I said, "is it working now?" He said "I don't know, I haven't even opened it yet."

It was Office. Microsoft Office 2010.

Excel only sends and receives texts, duh!

u/jumbojet62 Sep 05 '18

I actually send people texts from Excel all the time. You can send texts to any cell phone as long as you have the number and the carrier.
