The Tales of Yesterday: FASTERNET! (Part 1)

May 30, 2008

Once upon a time…

I used to work for an ISP back in the day called ‘Fasternet’ back in the ye olde days of dialup.

Whilst it was a good learning experience I worked for this gentleman called Errol and his wife Barbara.

Errol was (and I’m not over exaggerating at all) by far the most annoying person to work for.

It’s annoying when a manger craps all over your idea’s however Errol wouldn’t do that he would (unknowingly to him) manage to break everything without even trying.

The conversation between us would go like:

4pm – At work
Me: “I don’t care if there is something flashing on this screen saying TOUCH ME ERROL, TOUCH ME”
Me: “DON’T FUCKING TOUCH IT”

3am – At home, phone rings

Errol: “Well that thing you told me not to touch looked like it froze so I touched it, now no one can get their mail”.
Me: *sigh*

This was only the start; and believe it or not that piece of shit logo was actually on their website as a logo.
