This is my thread

I think one of the overshadowed criticisms of outsourced customer service centers to India isn't that he said his name was Adam on the first call and Martin on the second, or that another guy said he was Romeo, or that I can't understand their accents. I'm foreign and I can understand every accent on this Earth, including very shitty German-English accents. The point is, Romeo doesn't have an extensive English vocab. You have to choose words carefully when you speak with him and that means every word has to mean something. One little additional word like "right" or "lifted" will send this guy scrambling. D is as in dog, and I'm scared he wrote dog instead of D. Hell, I think he wrote D as in Dog. Have these fears been confirmed? Yes. I checked and even though I spelled out the whole damn address for him, he still missed half of the street. He even repeated it back to me right. WHAT THE FUCK.

context: I am dealing with Transunion, one of the shitty credit reporting agencies.

As soon as I get a call center, I immediately go into ass-hole mode and get really shitty with the guy.. I just dont have the patience

 

[S O F I]

I don't have the heart. I get into this sympathy mode and talk nice with him while flinging my arms around in frustration like a retard.

There's a smoking section at Citi Field, where the Mets play. This is a great thing.

That's because no one cares about the Mets. Pretty sure you could burn plastic, sacrifice goats, and hold Klan meetings, and no one would care because it was the Mets.

Yes. I went there.

If there's a pack of smokes in front of me, I'll have the urge. If my parents aren't around to see or smell it on me, I'll do it. Which is why it started up in college and ended when I was home. But now that I'm in a medical setting at all times, smoke can trigger asthmatic episodes in asthmatics and it just smells bad when it's on my white coat, as opposed to my white tee I wear around the house. And it's also hypocritical. So I can't and don't do it.

I picked up dipping, though. An addiction to end another addiction. Actually, this isn't an addiction. I love having a pinch while I read.

 

[S O F I]

dipping is so nasty. i tried it a few times, snus or whatever. fuck that shit.

 

[dilla]

Yeahhhhh.....no....Snus is not dip.

correct. dip is worse.

first night out without drinking in a long time. i was so happy driving home. i was hoping a cop would pull me over. i'd ask for a breathalyzer if he didn't offer one.

 

[dilla]

correct. dip is worse.

Dip is stronger and worse for you, yes. The same way full flavor cigarettes are worse for you than lights. It's just that pussies smoke lights.

Hmm. Why would you post a picture of the most successful Met ever (who by the way led us past the heavily favored Cubs to win the pennant in 1969)? And eventually the World Series? He's literally the only Met player to have his number retired.

I was just on the radio in the nasty nati. He said i didnt sound old enough to be on the phone without permission. That was the second time I've been on the radio. The first time I talked to Ziggy marley and all he said was "respeck" I'm gonna try to get on the radio with Russ Parr next...I'm feeling lucky.

The Cubs: making Mets fans feel better since 1969.

saw isiah thomas (56th pick) tonight. I kinda felt sorry for him and his entourage. for some reason, the bar/lounge/club was lacking the level of hot chicks that talent and celebrity (yeah fuck you, he's a celeb in seattle) warrant. some nasty white chicks were in their area though.

I think we both fail in having all-stars come to our team and just suck it up. KRod, Beltran, Pedro.... Soriano, Nomar..
