I've been on hold with the phone company for 8 minutes. They suck. Their music sucks too.

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

What is wrong with these people? 13 minutes now, and I've yet to speak to a live human being.

Yes, I would like to spend more money with your company, but please, feel free to waste as much of my time as possible.

I once had to deal with the phone company and started writing down the minutes I wasted waiting for someone (and being transferred) One week it took me 10+ hours. I was lucky to have the option to switch phone companies. They asked me why and still don't get it--they keep trying to get me back.

I no longer find my co-workers amusing. I hereby pass the torch to Shore. Otherwise, anything I write about them will come across as pudding vent.

8 minutes is just a warm up.

still warming up

they all suck. I also hate calling them. So that is why when ever they call me to sell me something I ask them to hold and set the timer for 20 minutes. If they are still there when the timer goes off then I listen to them and then say no and hang up

Vent away. I need some fun. I hate being trapped in the house.

Pudding vents are ok, dontcha think?? We all need a little pudding in our lives.

I have a person now, but I've still been on the phone for 27 minutes.

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

Oh no no no no.

As if it isn't enough to take care of my employees, someone elses Mexican worker just called me wanting me to tell their boss something. I told them I'd call them back.

Um, ***?!?!?!?!?!

As if I don't have enough of my own crap to take care of, people just assume that I'm here to take care of all their drama too. Just because I speak two languages doesn't mean I should be some kind of mediator.

I picked up the book last weekend but haven't yet started it. I heard the same thing about the movie. If I watch it at all it will be a dvd rental I think.

I've read several of her books. After you read The Other Bolyn Girl read The Constant Princess. It gives a really good back story to Katheryn of Aragon.

I have read those two & the one about Elizabeth. The Other Boleyn Girl was my favorite. I really want to see the movie, don't know if I will make it while it is still in the theater though.

Thanks! I have so many books that I don't know when I'll get to it. I read a lot and buy them from the bookstore at our library for $.50-$2.00 each so I grab one when I see it. Problem is, I have about 50 books to read--and I keep getting more! I like this way because then I get them cheap, and can take them to the pool in the summer or on vacation (if I get one this year) or donate them back to the library for tax credit and don't have to worry about due dates, etc.

I've never been to Ikea. But it sounds like you had fun on your shopping adventure.

You'd love Ikea for your workers...cheap dishes and stuff....if you ever want to go, let me know...you get across the bridge and I'll get you the rest of the way.

I hate being called too - Last month, Dell kept calling me offering to increase my credit limit (I had paid it off, but just kept the account to help my credit), but one time that they called, DS6 answered the phone.

I don't know if anyone has ever dealt with Dell - but most of the time, the people can barely speak English. Also, DS6 has a slight speech deficit (he has a hard time saying his "r's" & "th's" (he's in speech right now - and improving!).

So, anyway, I hear DS6 answer the phone, & he keeps saying "what?" "huh?", etc. Then, I hear him start carrying on a long conversation, but it seemed like every word that he said contained an "r" or a "th" (I remember he said something like "my mudda just got out of da showa")- I could understand him b/c I'm his mom, but obviously the other person had no idea what he was saying. I got on another phone & listened to their conversation - it was the funniest thing I've ever heard.

The Dell person was getting so aggravated, but DS kept right on talking. Finally, Dell hung up. They did raise my credit limit, but I haven't heard from them anymore.

I know for his sake, he needs to improve his speech, but I swear - it is the sweetest thing listening to him. His little voice is so precious - "Mommy, I wuv you!" I'll be happy when his speech is completely corrected, but I'm going to miss that sweet little voice!

Ok. 3.2.1...commencing vent...

We sit close to each other. So close that I know when one is flatulent. So close I can hear them chewing their sugar free Extra, smacking, snapping and popping. So close I can hear all their Miriah Carey, Jordeen Sparks, etc on their computers. So close I know when one forgets her deoderant. So close I can tell when one went outside in the heat to "get some exercise". So close I can't ignore their never-ending brainstorming over Brad, Jen and Angelina.

It's a freaking daily dose of estrogen...I'm afraid I'm about to start my period. I feel like I need a testosterone patch. Grrr.

I love how we create our own language. Can you imagine saying "I don't want this to come across as a pudding vent" to anyone else and it making sense?

 

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

The best was one day someone called and they started off by saying have I got something great to tell you. So Warden John says hold on one second. He hands the phone to our niece who at the time was 4. Now She sits and listens to him and then when they where done with there speech ask what do you think of that. My neice says I do not know I am four but I love cheese. and starts going on and on about cheese.

Yep..Once I was on with dell for atleast 40...Then their solution was for me to open up the computer and reset the hard drive I asked "if the thing breaks, will you send me a new one" their answer "oh no, this is all at risk"

Grrr... what to do?

My friend from Iowa just called and asked if I was still up for a baby shower on Sunday the 13th when we're back for a wedding. I think it's too late to put together a guest list and get invites sent out. She thinks it would be OK.

She doesn't have a location picked out and I told her I thought her house was kinda far out for some of my family to drive to and find (it's about 40 minutes North of my hometown).

Do I try and put a list together and see who can make it with just over a week's notice? I had decided it was too late when no one had called at 3 weeks out to set anything up.
