Dedicated servers are really all about support nowadays. I was glad when my dedicated server provider wrote to me the other day, so I could explain to him what my problems where:

Hello Michael, Thanks for contacting me.

Unfortunately, I have a bunch of problems with liquidweb.com that are starting to get their toll on me. Let me explain some of my issues: Just the other day one of my servers needed a ram upgrade. I submited a ticket and the ram was installed under 1 hour. 1 hour! I had to stare at the computer screen for the rest of the day doing nothing!

Once, one of my technicians erased a client’s site by mistake, and support had it restored in 20 minutes! The client didn’t even noticed! Where’s the rush?? I am becoming boring! All my friends talk about their daily problems at their jobs with clients and providers. When they ask me how my work goes, all I can say is a timid “err, fine. Nothing has happened since I switched to liquidweb.com“. I think I am starting to annoy them.

You have to give me some problems to talk about! My girlfriend is surprised I can spend so much time with her and loves the attention. Now I can’t hide saying “I have a server that crashed and have to work on it.” She doesn’t believe me anymore (it was a mistake to show her the Heroic support guarantee.) I am running out of movies to see and places to take her to eat. How much is she paying you!!??

I am suffering from a lack of adrenaline rush, and I’ve had to take up boxing, rock climbing and car racing just to avoid going into shock! My stress level is so low I am slowly turning into a tibetan monk!

I hope you can do anything about my situation before it becomes desperate. Now, if you will excuse me I have a plane to catch. I am going skydiving to see if I can get some exciment back into my life.
