Ouch Moar. That sucks.

@ Sundae: I am actually rather curious to see John's understudy.

It was Banana Lady's day to take them all to the toystore, though, and she would have been upset if we banned him from going. So we let him go, but he wasn't allowed to touch/play in the store. he got to choose and he can't play with it until tomorrow and then only IF he's an angel at school. yes, he was that bad.

Coventry?

Coventryish. Coventry would be too mean for such an inquisitive chatterbox. He survived. And no email from his teacher yet.... but the day is young

MTP - Yup - been there and it's bloody awful.
All you can do is be honest and keep breathing.
At some point it will all be over.
The finances and living arrangements make things much more complicated though

Nobody expects the chatterobx inquisition! Our chief weapon is being really annoying and not stopping when we are asked to. And sulking. And Glares. Amongst our weaponry...

*snort* You've met him then.....

I made a mistake. A human error, at work. Nothing major, just sent an informative email to a few wrong people. No harm no foul.

Someone wrote back to the FA email sayign they were going to contact the pres and god and everyone else. OVER AN EMAIL THAT WAS JUST AN ERROR. AN EMAIL THAT DOESN'T IDENTIFY ANYTHING BUT THE RECIPIENT. You should have read it, you'd think I killed their dog (accidentally sent the parent plus email to a few sub/unsub loan students: it just tells them their next steps.)

I'm going to quit, I swear. People are horrible and insane and stupid and I've had it with catering to them.

Fuck fuck fuck. God I hate my life.

glatt · 01-07-2011, 11:46 AM

Stupid people.

It'll be fine. Just have to get through today and it's the weekend.

Shawnee123 · 01-07-2011, 11:46 AM

Sorry. My boss told me not to worry about it, the student went a "little overboard."

I'd say.

What upsets me is that I let this crap upset me.

speaking of sending emails...my dumb ass forgot the little "." in between my buddies first and last name two weeks ago when i had tried to send him my resume to get back into engineering. so today i was thinking that i hadn't heard from him and sent a follow up email. no reply. looked in my contacts and sure as shit i entered his email incorrectly and i didn't receive a send error. now he has my resume.

morethanpretty · 01-07-2011, 01:43 PM

Good luck plthijinx!

Shaw, I'm glad your boss understood. We all have moments like that. My job has added a part in our call where we have to ask "is this a new or continuing issue?" its a horrible thing to ask, 1: they never give a truthful answer, or even know the answer, 2: we have the call history right there in the system, its a hell of a lot easier just to look it up.
I've already gotten a 0% on a call because I didn't "verbally confirm history" even though i stated it in my notes. Fuck 'em. Its a stupid thing to ask. I'm their best agent, so they can go fuck 'emselves.
