you know, i dont have a problem with immigrants, or people who dont speak english... but good fuck.. companies should be smart enough not to hire these people to answer fucking phones for their primarily english speaking clientele.. because it makes this very complicated.. not only do i have a hard time understanding them, they seem to have ( Read more... )

awww, i'm sorry-- i didn't think about my good friend natsumi when i wrote that-- i was just upset with dell, and didn't understand why they would have someone talk to me on the phone who didn't speak english well at all... you on the otherhand are rather understandable-- especailly when everyone is drunk :)
it wasn't the persons fault either, its dells, and christine confirmed my suspision that the guy is probably getting paid next to nothing for sitting on the phone all day in some 3rd world country, which is even shittier... i think we ought to impose the federal minimum wage on wages paid to those outside the US from US employers. And then tax the shit out of it too, so as to convince those already stationed in 3rd world countries to relocate back to the US again. either that or all the workers would fight over who woudl work in US factories... raising their quality of life, and helping american goods beat out foreign competitors who would be unalbe to get the labor they required....

and socrates.... i caught him, he was in my cage for a few hours.. he managed to sneak out through the bars while i was sleeping though... he's rather tiny.. and i guess he's really good at becomming flat.

it was a little disheartening.

when I got robbed by the hippies I had to cancel all of my credit cards, and the jackass for American Eagle didn't speak a lick of english, so I started swearing at him. He kept apologizing...he sounded like Apu. Finally, I asked him to say "thank you, come again" and the poor guy said it, and I had to hang up I was laughing so hard.

then I stepped on another shard of what used to be my passenger side window, and I was sad.

damn hippies.

i'm not sure... he escaped so... i caught the little dude again tonight... i knew he'd escape, but i just kinda wanted to know how he did it, so i watched him. Hopefully i'll catch him again and have enough spare money to get a cage with smaller bars... obviously he didn't like the idea of being in a cage, but i dont like the idea of him in my food.
