UPS are officially morons.


Andrew had multiple issue where they stated they can't deliver a parcel due to adverse weather condition, and those, on days where it was bright sunny....

Scared of the sun much?
How about hiring delivery guys that are NOT vampires?

Anyhow...

I ordered 5 pairs of shoes from mysrpingshoes.com, 1 for Terry and 4 for me. I got all of those this morning.

Just for the heck of it, I decided to check the delivery status on UPS website...

Terry's shoes were out for delivery as per 6:20 am today

Mine, at 7:00 am today: Adverse Weather Condition.

It was sunny...

And I am wearing my shoes....








fucktards!

framlingem, I love you!

Thanks to roomie for remembering the quote word per word.

For once I not only wanted to get out of the house and walk, I was not too lazy to do it; and then hubby tells me he has a headache. Grrrrr well I am going anyway and I’m bringing the dog!

He decided to come.

We stopped to have a quick lunch. Sherri was sitting with us at the picnic table and getting spoiled with pieces of meat the cook snuck out of the kitchen for her.

George St was crowded, we didn’t stay long since Sherri is nervous in crowds, we headed to coffee and company instead and she sat on our lap, looking at the people walking by and growling at the dogs coming too close to her mommy and daddy. LOL

We spent a few hours there, talking to friends and then head back home. Sherri was exhausted to the point that we asked her if she wanted to go for a walk, she hide herself under the blankets.


Happy news: Drug dealers accross the street are moving out, yay!

On may 21st of 2006 Arielmac, Queen of Paradise and Senior Officer of Mermaid’s Typhoon married Redbrdterry, Prince of Paradise and Captain of Mermaid’s Typhoon in pirate matrimony at Mermaid’s purse Island on the viridian ocean.

 

Almost a year now…

 Granted it was a virtual wedding in a virtual world but it was worth it and led us to real life romance.

 

Our friends on Viridian oceans were ready to celebrate our year wedding anniversary on the game with us with a party and vow renewal.

 

We changed our mind.

 

We won’t be celebrating a year anniversary online at all that day.

 

Instead of renewing our vows in a virtual world, we decided to make them happen for Real.

 

On May 21st 2007, Melanie, of Montreal, Quebec, Canada will marry Terry, of Boca Raton, Florida, US, in matrimony, in St-John’s, Newfoundland.

Lets take a few minutes to talk about common sense shall we?

With time I noticed that more then 85% or people calling customer service lines are people that barely have any common sense. 14% are people with true problems or issues and the last % is people with temporarily brain farts.

Now everyone get those, no exceptions, those temporary moments of dumbness that last usually less then a minute. Whether it’s putting the sugar in the fridge and the milk in the pantry or asking a stupid question that we already know the answer. Per example while dinning out, you run into an acquaintance in the restaurant and before you can stop it THE question comes out of your mouth: What are you doing here? I plead guilty; I had one, or many, moments like this. This morning I decided to wear my shiny rock and roll pants, as I like to call it. The material is almost plastic like. And I wear it the coldest day of the year. Every time I move I freeze my thighs…

An American comedian made a number about this called “Here’s your sign”. Bill Engelhard is his name. I became a fan when I heard his number and his answer to those everyday stupid questions to a point that when people around me asked me those stupid questions, and I knew they were not suffering from complete lack of common sense, I would answer something similar to Bill immediately followed by: Here’s your sign. (Here’s your sign that you are a moron)

Sometime last year, I was at work, talking about that comedian with a colleague that made me listen to his material and talking about it when I noticed that all employees where scattered everywhere. The work area was a former Wal-Mart store and only 30 agents were on duty. I called out for a supervisor, only one responded with: Is it for a Supervisor call? I reassured him right away that I only wanted him to gather everyone together. “Who? The agents?” It was too hard to resist: “No the sheep, here’s your sign!” Around the same time, a friend asked me if my boyfriend of the moment gave me something for Valentine’s Day “besides the obvious”. The other friend in the conversation had the sudden brain freeze and asked: by obvious, do you mean love? “No, she meant Air Miles! Here’s your sign!”

Sadly those answers cannot always be used in case of stupid questions because too many of those questions are asked by those poor people that are lacking in the common sense department. And those are the one giving job security to customer service agents in call center, teachers, doctors and so many other fields also. The lack of common sense is sometime so profound that I wonder if it is safe for those people to even get out of their house alone.

Common sense challenged people are not even entertaining, it is not an enjoyment to make fun of them, they are highly annoying and also a menace to society. Some might call them na・e but the Trojan horse, bringing it inside, wasn’t it a lack of common sense? True that telemarketing and door-to-door scammers were not as numerous as they are now but in my opinion, something this size, left outside my door as a gift, is very suspicious. That might have been how telemarketing fraud started too but that is a different topic all together.

I have witness severe lack of common sense both in the customers I had to deal with but also with colleagues and employees, some even made me wonder how they were able to find the building they work in. Perhaps some customers lack of common sense can be due to emotional reaction taking over the logic side but when no problem, no issues are involved but a simple question or inquiry, it is hard to reason that stupidity for an emotional reaction.

Per instance, the client that calls for information about a baby bonus. She asked, and I quote: “I am pregnant and I just want to know when my baby is born, will he be eligible for the 100 per child under the age of 6 bonus”. As mentioned earlier, politically correctness cannot allow me to answer this question with the reply I want: “Unless your child is over 6 when he is born, he will be eligible” because for some odd society standard, this will be considered as rude. Not willing to lose my current job because of a professional moron calling me and getting the answer to the question he asked, I instead let those frustration and answers out in form of an essay or simply give it to the same type of person I deal with everyday in an online game or community.
