Lost in Customer Support Land

A Woe is Me Poem

Could I Have an Answer Please

Oh my.! You need my father’s name.
I can’t imagine why.
He’s been dead these 30 years
I don’t think you’ll reach him if you try

Sure, I’ll hold again.
Another supervisor to find.
Classical music this time,
Sounds like broken chimes.

Another voice,
only an 18-minute wait.
What do you mean you can’t help me?
Sure, I’ll hold and contemplate my fate.

Finally, an apologetic voice.
She wants the last 3 passwords for my account.
I've only ever had 1.
Should I make up the other two?

Sure, I’ll hold again.
Glory be! I’m 23rd in the line,
26 minutes later, the person I need
Has no time.

Would I like to call back?
Sure, my time has no value.
But could I get some kind of answer
I don’t care anymore what kind?

I’ve been to this deserted land before.
I’m sure you know the door.
There’s no shade or place of rest
Just a worn-out customer under test.

Sure, I’ll hold again.
The Silence was unexpected.
Then comes the death toll.
Your call has been disconnected!

Are You a Door Slammer - What Does it Accomplish

Purrrrr..."Who asked that stupid question?" I think most of us at some time in our lives have slammed a door out of frustration or anger. I know I'm guilty. It's not something I do now, and I'm not sure why I've done it in the past, except that it was a way to make sure that those around me knew I was upset. But thinking back on the action, it was really a reaction to my own uncontrolled emotions. And to address the question as to what it accomplished, it would be easier to tell you what it DIDN'T accomplish. It didn't make those around me care more about my feelings. It didn't improve the situation at hand. It didn't make me a better person. It didn't get me what I wanted. It didn't show how mature I was or thought I was. It didn't punish anyone but myself. It didn't make me feel like I had won anything of va...

How I Design a Slow Stitch Fiber Art Project

Step one is to sketch a rough draft of the design you want to create for slow stitching. Step two is to cut and place fabric and fibers where you want them in your design. Step 3 is to start layering up individual areas of the design until you achieve the look you want. The next step is to remove each piece as you want to sew it onto your background fabric, leaving the designed piece intact until you're ready to sew them. If the piece is very intricate, take a photo before starting to sew just in case you need to refer to it later. This is the method I use when designing my slow-stitch pieces. It's easy and works beautifully. This method leaves plenty of room for adding or modifying the design as you go along. Consider it a draft that you can embellish or improve as you work.

Why Look For Ways to Change Your Dominant Mental Attitude

Let me begin by saying that I’m so ordinary that you’d never notice me even if I were the only one perched on a shelf. And what I’ve learned about maintaining a contented and happy life may only apply to me. But I’m hoping that you might find something that levels up your ability to find the same thing. What Happens When We Constantly Keep Our Heads Down When we look down, we can only see the step we just took and one yet to be taken. That’s an extremely limited view of our life’s potential and one that could never achieve the excitement and joy that we all want to experience. So, metaphorically, we can all lift our heads and let life surprise us by the results we achieve. An Example Of The Cause And Effect Of This Principle In My Life. Sometimes we tend to attribute most of the troublesome aspects of life to circumstances. But lifting our heads and taking a broader view might convince us otherwise. I’m not saying that circumstance doesn’t play its part — it does. But if circumstances ...
