I'm sure that somewhere there is a chronic masturbator who refuses to go to work due to his masturbation habit. We should treat him in a strip club or at a porn store.
See the above comments Connie. Let me reprint one for you:
"If anyone had told me five years ago that newspapers would allow anonymous comments and that we would have to respond to them, I would have invited them to come for a walk with me to the land of grown-ups. Now, I regularly address authors of online comments by their made-up names and pretend this doesn't feel like junior high school all over again."
I really want to know what you call letters to the editor. Aren't those letters that anyone could sign any name (gasp! even a made up name!) that were sent to newspapers and printed? While great reporters like yourself couldn't possibly deign to answer them lest your precious time be taken up by actually speaking with the filthy masses, someone at the newspaper did answer many of those letters. So do the editors that you've worked with over the years know that you think they are all junior high kids running around calling people by whatever name they introduce themselves as? How dare you, you selfish, sorry, elitist piece of journalistic crap. From this day forward I will not read a single publication that you have columns in. If I find myself reading one, I will contact that publication and anyone who pays for advertising in that publication and let them know why I will no longer be reading it.
You, my dear, are cancer. You're the reason that journalism will die a horrible death.
But it ensures quality and makes sure my iPod doesn't slow to a crawl! Otherwise my iPod would probably catch on fire from all of the horrible applications that I unwittingly installed!
Dammit, I forgot that I jailbroke my iPod Touch for certain command line functionality. There went that argument.
Depends on who you're speaking with exactly. There are some who sound British. Some sound like they should be running a Kwik-E-Mart. Others just sound like angry people from Asia that I can't understand...the more I think about it the more I think they may be abusing me in a language that I don't understand (I'm sure they say the same thing about the angry guy from the US when I call HP).
I do try to use the chat option for some people. If I know their accent is very thick and we will just be yelling "WHAT?" over and over again I tend to use as little voice communication as possible.
Yep, but the difference is I can abuse the ones from Microsoft and Visa (and my electric company, TXU, and the guy from HP who hung up on me after telling me to go to hell and go #%@! myself), but I can't abuse my own customers over there. They also try not to abuse me which is a refreshing change from what I get from a lot of companies here in the states.
My accent isn't as thick as you think. On the even funnier side, one of my clients has locations in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. We provide support for them from here in Texas.
