I flew in from Ohio this morning. I was up at 3:30 and my Popo Jijo got me to the airport by 5:25. Thanks Popo, I'm glad you were driving through the bad weather, and not me.
I'm pretty tired today and I'm disenchanted with New York City right now. I know it's only because I'm tired and slightly grumpy. Everything seems louder and smellier and dirtier..... I walked to the subway and I was overwhelmed by the smell of poop. Then for the next 30 seconds I was convinced I had stepped in it. I even checked both shoes to make sure. Well, I hadn't stepped in it (thankfully.) I'll get over this dissatisfaction soon; I just think I'm missing my family already. Also, it's always so shocking to go from rural Ohio to urban New York City. I'll get over it.
In the mean time, I'm at work and trying to make the best of it. However, I do have one more to add to the "What Not to Do when Dealing with Customer Service" list.
12.) Do not make joke, after joke, after joke, etc. You're really not as funny as you think you are. For example, when I say "Ok, you're all set. Can I help you with anything else today?" Do not respond with "Well, can you give me a raise or are you a good divorce lawyer?" I will earnestly reply, "None of the above, sir. Have a nice day," and lose all respect for you.
So, here we are, back again. The after holidays blues and a cloudy, more annoying than usual Monday. Oh, Master Robin, ain't it good to be home?!
I leave you humming "Back in the Saddle Again."
I totally feel your pain. I absolutely HATE the person who calls you and thinks you are his/her personal phone directory! "Can you give me the number to such and such?" You say as sanely as possible, "No, sorry, I am not a telephone operator, nor do I have that number on the tip of my tongue!"
