Well, I think the sleep aid is starting to really set in. Good night everybody. Hope you all have a great rest of your day.

Why is it that I just about get out of this thread and at the same time you show up. I'm seriously not doing that on purpose, but it has happened more than a couple of times.
Hope you have a good evening too @Stonetree.
Then explain my front yard!
One of my friends raced Greyhounds and I would often go with him, I witnessed 2 Afghan races, they were highly amusing. One of them they all walked out of the box and looked around.
Dan, your sunshine remains after you leave.
Overexuberance.
It is mostly for show, but if they had the proper training and experience, it would be like watching very graceful greyhounds with long flowing hair race each other.
From what I've seen now is much like that video you posted. They get very disorganized.
Why thank you, but I think you brought that.
Really, I gotta get. Good night all.
I had wondered. When I deal with 1st level (that guy) who is not "programmed" to do anything but what he does, then the trick becomes to find a trigger to get him to do more. Of course, you might be far ahead of me and tried this all already but maybe something will be new.
Given my IT background, I would do something like "we've tried that a number of times. The connection is still going out. I wanted to set up an appointment but I don't have a smart phone which appears to be required. Can you help set up that appointment? If not then, "can you refer me to someone who can.?" Can you "open a trouble ticket for me"? (If he does, great) (if not
please check with your supervisor or connect me to him. And you can ask him what information would be helpful the next time it occurs - what program you could try. (if not then: "how you help me because I'm in a terrible bind?. If you have to take some time, I'll wait" If he hangs up, persistence uber alles. - Calling back "I was talking with X and we were accidentally cut off (even though he hung up). Then the dance begins again.The idea is to not take 'no' for an answer.
If I were you and you went down that path, I'd have all the questions on a piece of paper ahead of time.
FYI, I'd use tech jargon "Intermittent failure" not "goes out..." and "can you escalate..." "trouble ticket" "when the line apparently goes down, "I tried to ping google.com", "the lights on my modem showed this pattern". "When I tried to run "speedtest", this is what I saw.
NB: You are a knowledgeable and patient person who understands that the person you are talking to is at the bottom of the heap and has to put up with a lot of abuse. You are, of course, not like that and are instead being politely and patiently pushy.
PS: I know I've slipped into a stereotypical male problem solver mode rather than being an empathic listener but I could not help myself. I yam what I yam.

I had to log back in for a quick post. A volley of fireworks going of in the near distance. It almost seems like they knew we were talking about this.

I'm going to copy/paste this into a file for next time when I have to deal with internet problems on the phone...I had wondered.

I appreciate problem solver mode. That's what I want to do; solve a problem.
Good morning y'all.
Going to investigate some troglodyte caves this morning.
