Hagane no Kokoro
Sep. 10th, 2005 03:03 amThanks for the thoughts on murdering Best Buy. I still don't know what to do... I told the woman on the phone that I wasn't given an estimate, that I was promised free-ness, and all she said was "Well, he shouldn't have told you that." That sure helps me now, fuckers! And they used that special tone with me, the "I'm going to be so angelically and patronizingly patient with you, because you are clearly overreacting, you poor bitch."
And then they had the nerve to tell me that the service center just "doesn't have enough people to answer phones," so I was supposed to let it ring for who knows how long until someone picked up so I could give them the confirmation to go ahead and fix it.
Have I mentioned that they told me I'd get it back in two weeks, and it was two weeks today?
Or that the guy who called and woke me up with the awful news had this incredibly think accent and was barely understandable? He left a message on our machine the other day too, and it was utterly unintelligible. Maybe they should hire someone who doesn't sound like "auivhbabvabkagsiauhyihskhsaiuh" to make their calls? No, no, that would be too convenient.
FuuuHUUUUUCKyuuuuuu!
In other news, I got to watch my manager Rachel flip out tonight, which was pretty scary, since she's generally incredibly laid back. But people just kept coming in, at like, 12:58, and were like "We'll pick something fast!" and then no, they just meander, and one guy said I'd lied to him about what a coupon could do... Tonight was so long, and people are such winners.
So that's where I was. Aja and Pairaka, I didn't get your messages until after 1 when I went home. I'm sorry!
Highlights of today: badfics with
kaltia, finally getting to talk to Theresa for the first time in forever, walking into Lane's and realizing that THANK GOD, I don't work there anymore, and...uh...Oni is furry.
MEGAN! I looked online for confirmation of man-eating bacteria in Louisiana, but this was all I could find:
"EPA administrator Stephen L. Johnson...said every sample tested revealed levels of E. coli bacteria that were ten times the federal safety limit."
..um, I didn't know that any level of E. coli was considered safe. That's good to know, if HORRIFYING.
taskemus: I have not commented yet, because I am a stupid morondoucheface. I'm sorry. :(
All my lurve, thank you and goodnight.
