    And I'm supposed to care because.....?

    So, I haven't written since New Year's...because I spend all of my free time at WoW and Second Life...but I'm sharing a great house and I've got some killer clothes..so I'm happy. At least I was until yesterday....which is what this blog is going to be about (among other things, of course) There are a couple of golden rules when it comes to working...well, where we work...

    1. *NEVER* argue or scream at the person you are going to need the most help from. Yesterday, "the blonde who shall not be named" was having a mental break-down because someone moved something on her desk. They didn't take something ..they *moved* something. O....M....G!! Screaming up a storm at our dear ...J....who was trying her best to stay calm. You know ...talking really slow and trying to keep it down as "the blonde" just kept going on and on and on....Ya know, this is why there is a big "no ho zone" around our team. Who needs that kind of drama? And do you think she is going to get as much help as she can get from J? Or do you think that she might be on the bottom of the list and get the least amount that can be given fairly? Hmm...let's think about that, shall we? She later threw a mini-hissy when she didn't get helped as fast as she wanted ...BECAUSE THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WERE BEING HELPED...I just want to ...I really just want to pull her by her short blonde ponytail and throw her outside...where I can really just beat her up...she makes me want to go off on her...just once. Can I? Once? Please?

    2. There is no situation that is unique. All of us have had something touched....and moved...and hell, just plain taken...from our desks. I bet when she was brand new (not so many weeks ago) that she did the same thing. Ya know, if I had known at the time she was taking calls with me about what a prima dona and twit she was, I would have said something. But I don't...I simmer and let it all get to me. Why? But, like the first sentence reads, there isn't something that you have experienced that we haven't all , at one time or another, had happen to us.

    TV

    Okay, so this is like week 1 million of the writer's strike and tv has dwindled to almost nothing new and then last night a new show started "Cashmere Mafia" --written by Darren Star, of Sex and the City. I have watched SatC...I have loved Sex and the City. You, Cashmere Mafia, are no Sex and the City (yes, in the spirit of the Iowa Caucus, here's your political homage) Lucy Lu is the big name...and while I loved her on Ally McBeal..and she's great in small doses, this is not a show she can carry. Tom Everett Scott was in last night's episode (someone give him a great show of his own...he isn't aging as well as his "That Thing You Do" co-stars like Tom Hanks so he's only got a couple of good years left) so you know I had to watch..but it's gonna take a heck of a lot for me to keep watching. It's more like Desperate Housewives and the City. ...without the charming houses. There's the 4 good girls and the 1 bad neighbor, all the guys are just on the edges and basically stupid--having affairs, or letting the women do every single thing. There was even the slutty blonde nanny (remember Lynette's nanny that her husband was sort of lusting after?) It's all be done before...and much better. There's a show just like it starting either this week or next with Brooke Shields carrying it. God, I hope it's better.
    I think I'll talk more tv later...
    Now, I'm off to the dungeons...work, not WoW...
    TaTa for now....

    I love Housewives!! Hopefully we get this writer's strike resolved once and for all... Meantime, I still gotta catch up with Heroes's first season, I've started with DVD 1 of 7 last night, can you believe??

    Rules of calling Customer Service!

    • 1. Before you call any 800 number--Please put your children, animals & significant others in a closet and lock the door til you're done. We really don't appreciate hearing your children screaming in our ears. We don't, in any way, find their antics nearly as priceless as you do.
    • 2. Read your bill before you start bitching and whining about it. Read the front and back of all pages. Read it every single month. No company ever just puts charges on your bill just for thrills or to see how long it will take you to notice. All price increases need to be okayed by the FCC or PUC before they take effect and you are given at least 30 days notice.
    • 3. It doesn't matter how long you've gone to school or whether you are a doctor,lawyer or Indian chief, I still know more about your service than you do. I know more about the technology than you do and I've got all day to listen to you as you lose your braincells. (And just so you know, whenver it gets very quiet, you are on mute as we *laaaaauuugghh*, tell our neighbors how stupid you are and wait for you to just....shut up)
    • 4. Just about anything a "supervisor" can do, we can do...we just don't want to give it to you. Why should we? Sometimes it just feels better to piss you off.
    • 5. Anyone over 60 must take a test before they are allowed to get any sort of electronics. If you can't operate it, you can't have it.
    • 6. Please stop asking us how we are ..we really don't care how you are and you make us politely ask you after you ask us. Just start talking and whining about the problem so that we don't have to "mute" you (see previous posts about what happens when you are muted)
    • 7. Do *not* eat or chew gum while talking to us. I can understand if you were catching up on lunch while on hold and I'm willing to give a little leeway but you better apologize for it and stop. Do you know how many times I've wanted to tell people that I can't understand them with their mouth full? And to ask them if their mother ever told them that it was just plain rude! I don't chew gum while I'm talking to you...do you consider yourself better than me? You think you are better than *me*?
