A sad RIP to Roy Scheider,75, who died this weekend....
And on the celebrity front let's see who's in rehab this week...
"Insider's" Pat O'brien checked into rehab...once again. You remember a couple of years ago when he was outted for those very steamy and, btw, icky voicemails he left on some female's cellphone trying to talk her into a 3-way with him and his fiance? OMG....yeah, he then went the celeb route and checked himself into rehab at that time too.
Also, Eva Mendez (who has checked herself out again after just a few days-never a good sign) and darling Kirsten Dundst...Kiki, we love you and will always forgive you...I know it's hard that Jake has found a new love with Reese, but there are tons of good looking men that will love you for you!
And of couse...Amy Winehouse...the biggest train wreck next to Britney! The reason I didn't watch the Grammys was because I figured she would win and why should we reward behavior like that? So, you won't see a recap of them on this blog. Nope...I say No! No! No!
So yeah, I'm back at work...the cough is down to a dull roar, I've got my tea with honey and cough drops so I was okay this weekend. They did have one of our newest team members sit with me on Saturday (and then he had to sit with someone else all Sunday , too) Now, he kept asking if everyone had to keep sitting with people and I had to tell him no, it was just him. So, knowing that you would think that he pay attention. But no. He told me a couple of times that just because he wasn't asking questions didn't mean he wasn't listening...but everytime I glanced out the side of my eyes at him he had his damned cellphone and was texting or reading a text! HELLO! What is so important in your life that you can't wait 2 dang hours til your break to do that?! I kept telling him not to do what the people around him might be doing....playing on the web, putting customers on hold to order lunch (or worse yet, to go outside and get their lunch), etc but do you think he listened? I say No! No! No! Again, it goes back to what I said a few weeks ago, these dang kids just don't take any job seriously these days. I've heard rumors of a girl on another team that doesn't take her first call til she's been logged in for 30 minutes to an hour! Gets away with murder because she's so close to her manager (who, btw, still scares the shit outta me ..even after a year and a half!) I just want to take my calls, sell as much crap as I can and go the hell home...
That's all I ask today, God...please?

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*?

No matter how much training this newbie gets, it may never get through his thick skull that he needs to pay attention when sitting side by side, but oh well that's life
I am so done with the way some ppl can do wtf they want. I come in and do my job. I am not the best employee I have a lot of things going on that I need to curb and get under control. BUT I do my damn job and I take my job seriously. It's sad that so many people just don't get it. Where we work is not perfect. BUT!! it is a job and it pays the bills and no matter how much we moan about it we do our job!! Well some of us do. *shugs*
