Angry Crushed by Ingsoc

Right. Angry Crushed by Ingsoc on phone last night to moron in India with very little command of English language (calls to BT end in India, why?).
No, I don't want you to tell me thankyou for holding, I just want you to cut to the chase and tell me why my broadband isn't connected.
Tonight at six, he tells me.
It better be.

General mood of annoyance not helped by half baked text messages from possibly most unstable and thought free of girls I have had dalliances with for a long time. I think (hope) that is one nut job I will not hear from again. This, by the way, was the one who fed her cat salmon.

Why is it so hard to find intelligent, broad minded women with a sense of fun who you can actually discuss Nietzche and Darwin with, enjoys experimenting with alternative lifestyles, but also likes to cuddle up on the sofa together?

Still, by tonight you never know, I might ACTUALLY be able to give you the posts I have been saving up and spend some quality time on the net.

As for Indian call centres - I'm fed up with them saying "And how are you spelling Kevin ?"

If you wish to proceed in English, press 1, any other language... go back to you own country. :)

These call centers are quite annoying, aren't they. The excessive holding, and the corresponding press this or that button are designed to create the impression you are being attended to, while the fact of the matter is, the multinational has fired everyone, and the only people willing to work for substandard wages have no ability to speak the language of the counties they supposedly provide service to.

They are awfully polite though. 'Is there anything else I can do for you?' i.e. I haven't solved any of your problems so far but keep trying: there might be something I can do.

Liz, when I have been on hold for two minutes, I do not need to be thanked for my patience or told that he has spoken to the person he said he would speak to before he put me on the hold. I just want a definitive statement on WHEN THE HELL will my broadband be up and running.

E-K, Cheers.
Winfred, the ones I really hate are the voice activated ones.

Perfect partners do not exist. And if they do, they are geologically unattainable.

Apparently every call in the world goes to India.

Phishez, I believe a lot of Aus calls end in Tuvalu. apparently most of the population work answering calls.
So I hear, anyway. But the population is only a few thousand, so it can't be that a high percentage of customer calls.

Why is so hard to find men like that?

I mean, minus the alternate lifestyle part...
