Russ(3:27:34 PM): ok, don’t disconnect from the modem – just do “show ip int brief” and paste the output here

Hwang(3:36:19 PM: one sec
Russ(3:36:24): sure… no prob…
Russ(3:36:41): I get paid just as much to sit here with my thumb up my butt as I do for actually fixing the problem
Russ(3:36:51): but — trust me on this — the customer would much rather have the latter
… just do not waste my time. I get snarky. Or worse.
