Ranting and Raving

Freak weather and good old Sun spots.

 

"Your call is important to us....."

$%&*@! to the companies, now even of smaller size, that have robot answerers and redundant automatic routing systems.
You know companies, all it says is "we REALLY don't want to actually talk to you. We hope you can stumble through our maze of crapola and figure out how to solve you own problem. Lord knows we don't want to.
Of course if you are a new customer wishing to spend some loot with us you can push "0" at any time and reach a human. If you are NOT a new customer, you will be tossed back into the cyber-pool of fantasy recorder communication to fend for yourself. We're too cheap to have a toll free number so if you are calling long distance you can expect a noticable bump in your phone bill especially since it will probably take several of these fruitless calls to resolve your questions.
Our Chief Operating Officer has a communications degree so we can off you this utterly frustrating experience because technology is now at the point where even small companies who don't care a damn about you can immulate large companies who don't care a damn about you.
As we grow we're hoping we can offer more ways to evade ever speaking to you as technology progresses. While we're not at the 100% mark in non-verbal interaction we are striving to get there. If you just hang up now in frustration we all get there sooner."

 

As if...........

 

Jeff you avatar saddens me especially the story, cheers friend, work has me freid I can hardly move either hand today ............ dang no bike riding

 

Got a ton of the stuff any time you need it, mate.

 

Who needs "Weekend at Dunkirk" when you have "Dunkirk" w/ Sir John Mills, Lord Richard Attenborough and Bernard Lee ;-))


Corp Tubby Binns: "STUKAS!!! TAKE COVER!!!!" Love the scene, just so bad-asp. ;-))

 

Well I like that movie too...

Corn futures, Oil futures destroying my future

 

Heh heh, actually, I have not seen that other movie but, have seen my region 1 copy (one of two that I know of) of "Dunkirk" w/ Sir John Mills. Many many great scenes in that movie.

 

The NHL Playoffs... okay I may not find much sympathy here, but playoffs that last from April through June virtually every single night with multiple teams gets downright annoying. And because the games are across all the North American timezones they play them back to back from 5pm on weekdays and from early afternoon on weekends. Being married to an intensely devoted sports watcher, particularly hockey - and a dedicated Montreal fan since childhood means I'm on my own for the next 2 1/2 months so its a good thing that I have a book to write, an art show to prepare, and a yard to work in now that spring (yay!!!) has finally arrived.

 

no wonder its raining every weekend barbecues save them for the summer. but in the meantime picture the scene instead of stormin norman, and that luky sod just geting of that bridge before the bomb hits picture a barbecue somewhere near you

 

Switch your empty propane tank with theres, I've done that one or nine times never even knew LOL

 

Shredded aluminum can or some magnisum can have interesting and desirable effects added to a BBQ......

Aside from that, remind them that they are British and cannot know how (lacking the genes to do so) to actually cook anything remotely edible so they should stop trying!

 

Great.... As if that wasn't enough now there is an add on the page here for Muslimia.com; apparently a muslim dating service. Can things get any weirder?

 

O those Brits can cook, I remember when i was a kid the pasties! aww those where the best, every time we went into town i would have to have one, then when i came over to canada they didn't have them, o i miss those pasties...

 

All right time for a new rant, I havn't had one in a while

Ok, today I was at work(as always) and I realised only today at how incompentent our supervisor\manager is. He never plans ahead, he never orders stock we need and he is always going, I'll be there in 1 minute to help you out, 1 hr later you are still waiting. He is an idiot when it comes to being a supervisor, however he is really a nice guy just a terrible boss, and come to mention it, he is a terrible worker as well, very very very very sloooooow. We have all told the General Manager about the situation and he is the highest one since he is also the owner of the company, so what can I do?

I have settled for the moment in just continuously pointing him in the right direction and giving him ideas, which he continues to take credit for, and then he has the nerve to get up me and say I am not working, when in reality I am doing more then he is twice over. He says do this, then 2 mins later says, "stop that now, and dp this" ok I do, then he says "oh don't do that anymore, now do this", I said to him "are you sure, this time" he kinda smiled and nodded, clearly seeing my frustration with him.

Ok thats all, thankyou

 

PC Health & Safety has struck our office, I will not bore you with there silly long list but one thing stood out and made no sense what so ever. We are instructed to use soft toilet paper and not the stock run of the mill rolls.

The bosses are really thumping mad with there list excuse me, time to take cover.

 

Hey....I resemble that(Curley)

I am English once removed.....IE they came over to the States in the 1640s and then later in the 1900s from Scotland. I am a great Pizziolo and chef but a lousy golfer

No Taxation without representation....my rant for today!

 

I have a feeling the lunatic asylum has just had a breakout.
