WOW Kandice, that would be scary. People get so freaked out with cell phone contracts. Sounds like everything went wrong all at once! Thank GOD you weren't alone.
I suspect the receptionist is in a LOT of trouble today! My husband was so angry when they decided to switch floors, anyway, then this happens!People just get so bent out of shape. Of course, now I am handling his dispute, and he is not going to get what he wants, but at least now they are aware of how bad a situation it is.
do you guys have a crap list, or at least some kind of note you can put on his account to warn other people that would have to deal with him?
Any T-Mobile rep that pulls up his account for ANY reason will see what happened, in BOLD, but in the meantime, his account was already suspended for non-payment. I just got a call that we are having a meeting about security at 11. I hope they feed us lunch!
That was weird. Our internet went out, at home, for an hour. I didn't really expect it to work just now. In case I get back on late, I hope it goes well, Fiona. I also really hope he can easily remedy whatever it is!
Allison-I'm thinking of buying the first season. Let me know if you think it's worth it after the watch the first one.

Good Morning Ladies!Sounds like you had quite a night last night Kandice.
Sorry that happened to you.
Fiona hope I'm not to late but good luck at your Dr.'s appointment.
Okay, I am leaving a little esrly to get somet hings done before the "big meeting". My husband has called 3 times this morning to fuss about it! He's so sweet.Thank you Lisa:)
Its too quiet on this thread! I have some downtime right now, but no one is here...so I went and found books to add to my TBR instead :(As Fiona would say...Woe!
I am semi here Allison...been reading and off and on checking here...heheRachel, I have never had a job where there was bulletproof glass around me. I have worked in banks and didn't have that. That to me is kind of scarry.
I have just kicked my knee, weel a point under it agaisnt a corner of the desk....that hurts. the pain goes through my body till my head! Why is it that we don't manage to reach that certain point on our body that hurts but that the corner of a desk always touches that point that goves most pain?For the first time since we work in dublin my boyfriend is home during the week: I am not cooking for once!!!!!!!
Fiona wrote: "Ick!I'd like a nice pasta and pesto salad with spinach and pine nuts."
My boyfriend is preparing a meal of pasta with tuna, tomato sauce....probably will be a bit spicy again. A little for him is always a lot for me. But he makes it very good.
Kandice wrote: "Chicken can be really good if you prepare it right."I prepared for the first time in dublin a chicken meal last sunday. the farm from where it came was even written on it! It was chicken, italian style vegetables and rice with korma sauce. i don't liek sauces at all but korma sauce is yumie
Lisa wrote: "Yes, yes it could be...lol I wish I could say I got all this reading done while I was away...I didn't :~(Oh well there is always tonight and tomorrow...hehe"
Do beleive what Fiona says. I am a witness of the truth here...unfortunately..

I lost a bunch of pictures and all my college papers because my stupid laptop gave out once...I'm such a moron for not backing everything up.I hope you find yours!
Fiona wrote: "I didn't. :(I even lost my uni dissertation, not that it was any good. I think my dad has a hard copy, not sure. Oh well. May as well never have done it now."
:(!
I just had to count out these greasy dirty parts, and I washed my hands twice back in the shop with the "good soap" and I still feel DISGUSTING.yuck.
Fiona wrote: "How about rubber gloves?"eh. They don't make me do the nasty stuff that often. The guy that usually does it is just off today.
Kandice wrote: "That meeting was crazy!!!!Fiona-I'm sorry there was no quick fix for your neck!"
What happened??
Allison, have you seen the "glove in a bottle" they sell at Home Depot? It's in the paint department. It's like lotion you apply before a nasty job and it makes whatever gross stuff just wash right off afterwards. It's only like $3 a bottle, and very worth it. If you don't have to do it very often, though... may not need it.
They are installing new security buzzers under the desks. We had them upstairs, but when we moved down here, they just didn't put them. It's a laugh, because the security guys that walk around are all old and retired. I just don't see them taking someone down!
Rachel wrote: "Arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh! I hate Australian Customs!!!"What did those loonies do now?
(lol...like I've ever had to deal with them)
Lovely little side note-Guess who got the customer's issue? Yeah, moi! I am very good at dealing with very irate customers, (is that really something to be proud of?) even though I usually interact on the phone. I wont have to see the customerface to face, but they are going to know where I am when I am working on their issue. Makes me feel weird. Everyone knows all about it and is teasing me like crazy!
Australian Customs? Are you going somewhere?No, unfortunately she was sacked. We have a temp today, and God knows who we will get!!!!
aww, it stinks she lost her job...but well, you get what you deserve in the end I suppose.Kandice, you are a very calming, authoritative influence I think (thats the vibe I get), so I see you being good with difficult people.
I'm sorry she lost her job too, but it turns out she has been leaving early a lot. We don't know, because we almost never ask her for anything, and we are behind the lobby. Anyway, she leaves, pretends she forgot to clock out, fills out a timeslip and still gets paid. Yesterday was just "Worst Case Scenario" and it bit her on the butt. She was gone when I got here.Thanks Allison. *smooches Allison's cheek*
