It started out so well!

I found out that I won the Magic Bullet contest at my work.
I had the most calls and the most call conversion.
I mean, I don't really WANT a Magic Bullet, but it is worth like $200!
My parents already have one, and they don't even use it.
But I thought, Cool! I never win anything!

My day was starting out really well... awesome!
Then I got, like, 3 idiot customers in a row and they completely ruined my joy.
I really shouldn't let them affect me like that, but it's tough.
Because a lot of customers are deaf.
The irony of a hard-of-hearing person calling for the "Listen Up Sound Amplifier" is not lost on me!

Slow day, huh?

Not too many calls today... which means not too many jerkoffs.
Well, a diabetic country bumpkin who tried to be friendly.
Just let me read my script and be done!
My vocal cords hurt and my voice is cracking.
Let's not make this any longer than it has to be!

On a call now...lots of calls for the free diabetic cookbook ripoff!
Putting me on hold cos you have another call? Please, make them wait! This call should be 1:30 mins long.
Hanging up...
You've got 10 seconds to get back on the line....
Ok, she did. She was actually calling to make sure she got the address right.

Well, the pervert at 863-618-6346 hasn't called recently.
I need a place where I can post all the perverts phone numbers.
Somewhere on the internet. Let kids prank call them.
I have sooo many! I write them down so I can check the number calling and fuck with them right off the bat.
Do the weirdos not understand they record and trace every call that comes in?
No, because the people that call 800 numbers are usually poor, uneducated and rude!
Not all, but most.


OH, I spoke too soon!
I just had a lovely call, from an older gentleman who was ordering an Instant Fisherman. Who orders that! Anyway, they get you with the shipping and handling. So he starts bitching. AND he was a jerk right away. I asked for his zipcode and he was like "I'm not ordering anything unless I can talk to a human being!" Um, hello? Human here!
So anyway Mr. Pissypants decides that S&H is just too much and I'm trying to move the call along and he's complaining so I give him the customer service number and he hangs up on me! Lame.

P.S. You probably shouldn't take Lipozene if you have congestive heart failure! Just my 2 cents!

You're all idiots! Stop calling me!

Rain in Motion!

Weird! I took pics of rain Monday night, and it looked so neat! I then proceeded to tweak the photos with tint and Lomoish functions. Ooh, pretty.

Now I'm rude.

I'm starting to enjoy my job again because I'm now acting like an ass.
Since the people I talk to all day are complete low lifes, I'm going to be one, too.
(At least on the phone)
This woman called this morning, for one of those "sponsor a child" deals, and she was FREAKING out because "we" sent her a boy and DAMMIT SHE ASKED FOR A GIRL!
I first politely told her she would have to call the company directly, I don't handle issues like that.
Do you have pen and paper?, I asked. NO! I DON'T!, she yelled (seriously).
Okay, well, I need to give you the customer service number, I told her again.
LADY! YOU PEOPLE WANT TO GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND! I'M WAITING FOR THE NUMBER! WHAT IS IT?!
At this point, I laughed at her. Loud enough to be heard, not enough to be too rude. (My calls are recorded after all)
She got even more furious! I didn't think it was possible! So I laughed a little more.
But whatever, I told her the customer service number and hung up before she could sqawk at me anymore.
And two more gripes...
1. You aren't one of the first 500 callers. The callers aren't numbered or tracked. That's a lie, to get you to call!
2. Please listen to my entire question before answering. I realize I get paid by the minute, but having to repeat myself over and over because you are deaf/ignorant/busy really irks me.

In other news,
JD's birthday party was a hit, I guess. He ignored me the whole time and then was really drunk at the end of the night so I sent him home with his mom. Sigh.
We closed on the house yesterday and walked away with more money than we thought! Woohoo! So we promptly bought a Wii (which I played for 4 hours last night!) and started paying off bills.
My new goal is to lose weight playing the Wii. The Wii sports is crazy! Boxing, Bowling and Tennis really get you moving. Good cardio. We'll see how it goes.
I'm calling it my "Wiight Loss Program". Don't make me copyright it.

I'm going to post pics of the party and some silly rain shots I took later...
