Can you IMAGINE the scene

[Aliceacc]

tomorrow morning at the switchboards if somehow free dining is NOT announced??? Hundreds and hundreds of DISers calling at 7 am sharp, insisting that a n0n-existent code be applied?


"I'm so sorry sir, but I know nothing about free dining... I'm sorry madam, but the computer isn't showing anything for that code.... I'm sorry, sir, but I didn't mean to make you late for work. I know nothing about any free dining... I'm sorry madam, I can't tell you why it was on the DIS but isn't on our computers... I'm sorry, sir, but maybe it wasn't in the paper because you were mis-informed..... I'm sorry, madam, but I can't confirm whether or not the values are part of free dining because we haven't been told anything about free dining"

OK, I've got a twisted sense of humor. The best of luck to all you early morning callers tomorrow!!!

TOO FUNNY,
(of course I knew you'd have a good sense of humor since you're also from LI and we have so much to laugh about, like TAXES! )
Have a great day and
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

it's not going to be any worse than the scene of people calling to GET free dining! I wonder how quickly it will sell out?

 

[ehrn]

I know, right?! When my husband told me about the tax refund we AREN'T getting, well, the oddest things are seeming funny...I guess because if I don't laugh, I'll CRY!!!! AND I'm making my TA do the dirty work anyway, even funnier!!

We're not going during this time period, so I haven't read most of the free dining threads...but I will say I would feel SO sorry for those "operators' (not sure of their term). I do information and referral for social services over the phone. And way TOO OFTEN, politicians or media are releasing tidbits of info about programs that WILL be starting (but haven't yet, and in many cases details/info haven't been finalized, etc.) and then say "call 211". Then people are irate with us b/c 1) we don't even know about it (if they call instantly), or 2) we know what they know but nothing more yet. Ugh, it's awful, I'll tell you! So, remember...it's not their fault if there's no code!!!!!!

 

[Aliceacc]

Well, the codes are up and running. I'm sure all the CMs are ready for the deluge.

1 hour and 36 minutes until the fun begins.

Best wishes to those of you calling!!

Ah, the beauty of BounceBack... no steering with one hand, while holding the phone futilely with the other, only to have the call cut off when I enter the parking garage and having to start all over again...
