because they HAVE to be better than the human I just spoke to.
I put my check in the bank yesterday, and there's enough already available to pay a couple of remaining bills, one being my wireless bill. I go online to pay the bill last week, and the site showed my June statement. I figured "Hey, they're updating, I don't really want to pay it now, I'll pay it next week." Except they STILL haven't updated. of COURSE there's no email to send to, so I call the number.
The number of "ums" and "ahs" would have given my 8th grade Sister of St Joseph nun teacher fits, and foaming at the mouth. The answer she gave me was "They're updating the site." Well, I looked last week, and the same thing happened "Um, well, um they're ah inputting by hand. Do you want to speak to customer serv... *I hear her thinking "Oh wait I AM Customer service"* Um, OK"
*sigh*
I said No, s'ok, I just wanted to know what's up. I'll send you guys a check, or go to the store and pay. No, I do not want you to transfer me to someone else so I can pay my bill by phone (And you can try to charge me the pay by phone fees, _I_ am not stupid, like you miss.) So I think I'll write them a check, and that'll be that.
I'm frightened by the answer of "they have to input everything by hand" Honestly, who DOES that these days?
I'm not thinking about anything else. Nope. Not. Gotta get some stuff done, and get to the post office,
Oh - and Friendster - officially scary. I have 14 friends listed, I'm being decidedly selective, and I can connect to 63,437 people. Whats wrong with that? I want to see how far away I get from any particular user, like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. Of course, I'm only 1 degree from some people I just DON'T wanna know, you know? My friends know icky people (As cemented by last night *shudder*)
OK, work, food, office. I want these returns outta here so I can work late tonight without feeling any guilt. Like 8PM or so. I had a charming chat with HR yesterday about how she doesn't know WHY I can't have flextime, because if I did it would make it more attractive to me as a job. Little does she know that the whole 9Am thing - is only ONE of the reasons I wouldn't take the job. BUT, they'd pay me an obscene amount, it would be steady, I'd have health and dental. but I'd lose my freedom, and the challenges public accounting affords me. (I know, challenges don't equate to accounting. Get over it, it's MY life, it challenging for ME! *grins*)
Wasn't I getting moving?
