It's the Golden Globes...uhmm...maybe not!
Well first of all, I moved the rules of calling customer service to the front page because I think everyone who looks at this blog should read them.. Secondly...The Golden Globes...in a way, the hour-long broadcast was better because it got everything out of the way nice and early. Hooooowever...there really wasn't anyone that I cared about who won. The movie about Edith Piaf? Who even saw it? Okay, so the people who voted for the Golden Globes saw the actress. Anyone else? Hands? Do I see any hands..uhmm..nope.I'm really glad that it wasn't on this year. I'm just sorry for Rumer Willis who was going to be Miss Golden Globes this year...yeah, sucks to be you, don't it? And poor Steven Spielberg who didn't get his honorary award this year so they are saving it for next year. Yeah, like *that's* a bright idea. Thinking of the awards and the fact that Sweeny Todd won..I think just Johnny Depp...anyway--there were these youngsters at work today talking about movies and the one girl stands up and goes "It was a musical! " Like it was done all in the nude or something. Don't they know that it's based on a play? Don't they read about it first? Oh yeah, I forgot..it's the lost generation ...they don't know how to read. I'm getting a whole blog entry together about the idiots they have hired at work. Not even that they aren't very smart...they don't *aspire* to be any smarter. They don't care about the job they are hired for...ah well...you'll get an eyeful either tomorow night or tuesday night. I went and bought 4 books on Second Life because I just know there has to be an easier way. It's the obsessive-compulsive coming out in me...if one book is good, 4 must be better! I found this cute little pet store on 2ndlife...I had to buy an owl (just for Mom) and even a tiny one that stays on my shoulder. I've named him Hootie. They had penguins and meerkats and little monkeys...yeah, maybe I should open a Second Life Zoo? nah, there probably already is one.Okay, so it's like 45 minutes past my bedtime...I tried to stay up for Sam but she's probably sleeping--which she should be doing and if you read her blog, you would know why (what do you mean you haven't read it? Follow the link...get over there before I send my owl to peck your eyes out!)Big waves to Sam and Victor....happy gaming and blogging!
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*?
Doggie Heaven....
Rest in Peace-- my darling Scarlett...17 years together ...from the animal shelter to the end you were one of the sweetest things in my life...8/12/08
