There is alot to say today. But where do you start when your soap box is overflowing with ideas? The other day I ordered a computer online, which went fine. Then I decided to do a few last minute upgrades, what a mistake that was. I call the wonderful 800 number and somehow I am transported to India. Not really the problem until I try and resolve a problem. He doesn't understand me I don't understand him and he gets an attitude about it. MY bitch is I didn't ask to be transferred to someone who speaks broken English at best (it's not his or her first language) and then he's going 90miles and hour. The only thing I can understand is the price of my computer is going up. I ask him to slow down... He hangs up the phone. What the fuck!!! If our companies are going to lease out our business don't you think it would be a good idea to have the other company screen it's employees better. I don't have a problem with anyone with an accent but if your asked to slow down to help someone understand you how hard is it. Come on, really. It was almost bad enough to make me not want to buy the computer period. I know there are barriers everywhere unfortunately we have to break them down in order to work together.
I know that companies do this leasing program in order to save us money (yeah right). So I will log a complaint with the company (and get nowhere). One day there is going to be a bad enough problem where someone actually gets hurt over language or attitude. Then where will we be.
