She calls in complaining constantly that everything she has is hacked. She's called in like 10 times in the last three days, claiming anything from that ISIS is going to behead her, that people are hacking her cable box to make her buy PPVs that she didn't buy. That they are changing her channels to shows that they know annoy her. She's claiming that her On Screen Keyboard is hacked and is being used to steal her identity. I almost talked her into canceling her internet service (god I wish) but she declined, saying she'll just pray and hope for the best.

Back in March I had wrote up this post explaining the call I had earlier in the year from her:

Here are a few quotes from them:

"they are setting up cables to hack her from another country"

She had Google on her computer because Google was being hacked too.

"They know how to keep getting my passwords."

The wifi networks near her house means people have access to her computer.

She reports people are getting into her PC while she's sleeping. Like physically in her room.

She wanted me to get Microsoft to remove airplane mode from Windows as the hackers are using that to hack her.

They claim they talked to the local police who reported she was 'super hacked'.

They had us replace the modem a day ago on recommendation of the police.

Proof of being hacked was that when she checked a box tfrom 'yes' to 'no' then something changed. She can't describe what she clicked or what changed.

She believes the 'connect automatically' button on wifi is put in there by hackers to steal her data. She wants it removed from Windows.

They claim anything put into their home is 'completely hacked and unusable' within 30 seconds.

Literal quote: "The hackers even have our blood"

They think Microsoft is compromised as well.

They claimed the wifi network is being used across the world in the middle east. When I explained to him a wifi router will barely even go beyond their home I was interrupted by telling me that router manufactures lie to us but it can extend across the world.

She then hung up on me when someone else called her.

This was a fun half hour of rambling paranoid nonsense.

This was a fun half hour of rambling paranoid nonsense.

When I worked in a law office, we got a call from a lady who wanted to sue Colorado for wrongful imprisonment.

She talked for a solid 5 minutes with no input from me, claiming (among other things) that Hillary Clinton herself experimented on her with directed energy weapons.

I put her through to one of the lawyers to fuck with him.

I'm just legitimately curious why you would put yourself in debt to work in a call center. You can work in a call center without a college degree.

It's like my dad, he went to college and has a degree in agriculture and then when he got out he became a semi truck salesman.

It's just... Why.

You don't know you're gonna fit right in. Very few people leave college directly into their field of study. You need money regardless. Degree gave them a leg up, they discovered they enjoyed the profession. Boom.

Anyways I feel for Error. I got a physics degree but I didnt end up working in a lab or anywhere related to the field really. I work at a bank. A job is a vehicle for making money and sometimes you have to take what you get. Maybe use it as a stepping stone for something greater. Or maybe you just end up liking something you never thought you would.

I knew grad school would chew me up and spit me out. I pretty much felt at the time (also graduating 1 1/2 years late because of personal issues and the fact that my schedule was fucked in a way that I had hard classes piled on top of each other) that the only way I could leverage my degree in a relevant way would be through grad school.

If I was an engineer major I couldve gotten a state job. Had a friend who was in sort of the same boat except he managed to plug the holes in his credits with summer classes (I had to work summers to add to tuition money). Got a job at DoT and I was super jealous. My brother went comp sci and he makes bank too. Id never do engineering because it sounds like an even greater hell than what I went through but I felt like it opened more doors for other people than my degree did. Meh.

My job is okay but Im using it to build a good reputation for myself in the company. Im also lucky that my student loans arent that high compared to my friends.

I frankly don't think he owes you any answer and, furthermore, the answer should be pretty obvious if you strained yourself to think about it even a little. But, of course, you're just trying to be antagonistic because that's the kind of person you are.
