I have a question

Shawnee123 · 08-19-2009, 01:18 PM

Could someone shoot me, like, now?

No.

Now what's up?

Wanna come to Cedar point next week?

Shawnee123 · 08-19-2009, 01:25 PM

OMG person after person after person. CAN ANYONE FOLLOW SIMPLE DIRECTIONS? Or how about "I think I'll wait until the last minute in a school of over 24,000 students and expect them to do jumping jacks just because I am walking in the door. Also, I won't read anything or attempt to help myself I want it all done for me."

Attitude and stupidity, which I have no patience for today.

Sorry, thanks for the vent.

No, I can't go anywhere until after Sept 10th: no vacay schedule plus I'm so far behind because of days like this.

Sigh.

I don't always really like humans. I know, no duh Shaw.

monster · 08-19-2009, 01:38 PM

Your problem is that your directions are not simple enough. Try these for size: PISS OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE. or maybe simply just DIE, YOU FUCKER. ?

Shawnee123 · 08-19-2009, 01:56 PM

I've come close. I'm usually quite lovely to these freaking freakface freaks...lol.

I'm just in no mood.

And they keep coming, and coming, and demanding, and coming, and demanding...

There are 78 freaking people in queue and right now I am the only one calling students.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I need a beer.

Queen of the Ryche · 08-19-2009, 03:08 PM

Come on over! Lager or ale?

Shawnee123 · 08-19-2009, 03:09 PM

Both!

SteveDallas · 08-19-2009, 03:23 PM

I'm very disappointed, Shawnee. What happened to your customer service orientation? Remember, we're supposed to be nice to the varmints, no matter what.

Shawnee123 · 08-19-2009, 03:27 PM

Oh, I'm being nice. On the outside.

On the inside, I'm more like, well, how I act here!

ZenGum · 08-19-2009, 08:55 PM

I know your pain Shawnee.

I have been in the queue for new student cards. The chap at the counter had to ask three questions. I heard them at least eight times before I got to the front, and every time the student reacted as if these were totally new, unheard-of questions that required deep consideration for several minutes:
Do you want a new photo taken?
Do you want to retain your old student card?
Do you want to change your password?
Some students needed to have these explained to them more than once.

Finally I got to the front. The look on the guy's face was worth it when I said, straight out, "I need a new student card, I want a new photo taken, I want to keep my old card, and I want to keep my current password."
Funny, I had to repeat it to him.

morethanpretty · 08-19-2009, 09:31 PM

Ah crap, now you've gone and reminded me I need to buy books.

I feel for you shaw, I'm on the other side of the counter and I'd hate to deal with me too. Last time I had to sit down with one of the counselors they asked me what my major was...poor them.

Shawnee123 · 08-20-2009, 08:12 AM

There is a lot of asking the same questions over and over to different students. By the end of the day (and I was here 11 hours) I would forget from one minute to the next what I had just asked them or what they answered.

Exhausted, I stopped at Taco Hell, went home, put on my pajamas, ate my food, read for a while, and turned off the light. I COULDN'T SLEEP. I can rarely not sleep.

@ Zen: I do the same thing in restaurants. You know they're going to ask what you want on your salad, how you want your steak cooked, etc. "I'd like a small filet, medium, with a baked potato...no sour cream, extra butter. No dressing on the salad, and a diet coke please." Huh?

It's just that time of year, but it wears on you, on the whole office. It's the nature of the business...but DAYUM! They were tryin' to kill me!

This is why I love paperwork and crunching numbers.

Thanks for letting me vent between moments of hell.

At the supermarket checkout here, the questions are: 'Do you collect points?' and 'Will you donate (how ever many pesos would normally be rounded up) to a charity? I've tried getting in first with 'No' followed by 'Yes', but usually the cashiers ignore my pre-empting and ask me anyway....
