im pissed off now
so right now im at work in the office (well, not really working 
)
and the phone rings.
this guy starts going off because i sent a package to his jobsite via UPS shipping.... blah blah "UPS is a piece of shiet company" blah blah..
they dont ship to my construction site untill 5 pm when everyone is gone blah blah
my ears are ringing from his yelling
i was just like, "sir, i apologise, here UPS has great service and they ship around 11 am to noon, next time i send something to you i will use FedEx"
he was like "damn right you better cuzi boycott UPS pieces of shiet"
(the whole time i was like thinking, dude take a f'n prozac or ritalin or something)
what pissed me off the most is im not allowed to talk back, something i naturally love to do, so it was all building up in me, and whe he hung up i screamed "F**K YOU TOO!!! *******!!'' and proceeded to rip my mouse out of the computer and hurl it across the room....
good think im alone in the office today

shoulda asked him if he specified a shipping company when he ordered...
or if he knew you guys used them why he hadn't been specific when he placed his order.......
was this his first order thru yas??
btw..none of the questions above could be construed as sassin'...

I don't miss dealing with clients 
I remember this on gentleman calling our service department, (computer hardware) and driving the service manager crazy, so I had to take the call. This is how it went:
"Good Morning, General Manager."
"Are you the one in charge?"
"Yes sir, and I have been briefed on your problem. Unfortunately sir, your monitor has been out of warranty for over three years, and we cannot give you a refund, nor a new monitor. If you wish to return for fixing, we can take a look at it for you."
"I do not want it fixed, I want my money back."
"I'm sorry sir, but you purchased that monitor six years ago, and we cannot give a refund."
"I am sick and tired of your crappy products, and I would really like my money back."
"I understand your dilemma sir, but I cannot help you with your request, may I suggest you allow us to take a look at the monitor to see if we can fix it."
"You are unscrupulous, and this company is unscrupulous. Do you understand what that means."
"Yes sir, I understand the meaning of unscrupulous. However I cannot grant your request."
"Fine, I am going to contact an attorney now."
"Certainly that is your right, however, if you do wish to return the monitor to be fixed, please contact the service department at your convenience. Thank you for your call today."

hahahaha...niiiiiiiiiiiice.
i'm so glad i'm never gonna have a "job" ever again...such a pain in the *** dealing with incompetent full timers and equally incompetent clients while i wuz only a summer student.
i'm sooo friggin glad i get paid to go to skool...and make my own hrs...and make my own decisions for the most part...sure sometimes it ends up being 60-70 hrs/week, but sure beats dealing with a$$oholic creeps and incompetent bafoons.

...but having fits when losing wallpaper is a bit much...however, having fits when losing ur only lab pen that works is acceptable
