I work in an office where I have to deal with different providers of goods and services. It is interesting that most times when I place an order for goods or services there is the attitude of not caring about the order… like “we’re so well off in this little berg that we don’t really need your order or could care less how efficiently it is delivered or whether it is done right”.
Maybe the size of the order is small (and yes I understand that a lot of businesses find small orders to be a nuisance)… but….this is 2010… the Great Recession… etc!!!! So shouldn’t client service be of utmost importance? —Grump

In response to your final question: yes.
In response to your initial question: yes.
See why NS economy is fucked?
because of question 1 and 2, ans i’ll add 3, most employers are greedy fucks.
Hmm…I’ve noticed the same. Never thought about bitching about it though. But thank you. It’s almost like the customer is a burden to most of these businesses. No wonder I order directly from the USA now, where items are cheaper, and I don’t have to deal with these local business-owner assholes.
our shop is all about the customer service…sweaty rawk to colonel ernesto et al
It might help with publicity if you hinted at what it is you do PG.
You’re not currently fighting the gubment over fag’s are you?
Col. Ernesto is currently sweltering in the pestilential warehouse @ Dunder Mifflin rather than being up to his neck in the lake on vacation where he belongs this week >: (. And he’s also tap-dancing perilously close to violating 2 of his 3 Personal Commandments of LTWWB . Sitting in a soft room eating soft food never looked so appealing. Then again, so does the condensation on that can of PBR in my fridge awaiting Thursday morning and a happy 49th
Sweaty scree back at Girl of Pain
There are other like you, painey, and it’s always a treat to find them. Unfortunately, there are lots that you deal with on a day to day basis for small businesses that are snotty royal pains in the ass.
no zZz don’t sell that kinda stuff…the shop is sweaty this morn, there is talk of cold libations already-so-soon. snotty folks don’t do well ’round these parts ralmn^^happy day of birth on the jeudi admiral virgo. rawk
It’s down to 24 hrs and a wake-up. My birthday wish is to be cool and dry, maybe get a full night’s sleep. I can see why folks in tropical countries are always pissed off enough to keep having revolutions, coups and civil wars, but where they find the energy is beyond me.
Wait til February when I’m mingeing about the arctic forced march to and from the Gulag.
It’s still supposed to be another smoker tomorrow, General. Perhaps on the b-day it will just call for more cold drinks.
I got some suds a chillin’ in happy anticipation Ralm. Gonna make the most of it.
is it safe? bonjour chacun, essaie de rester frais…screee
DAMN IT.
Blowtorched my hand last night.
was hoping it hurt like a mofo today but no such luck.
Burn pain tolerance much too high, so here I sit….
rather than out in the sun.
DAMN IT.
was the hash good zZz? ^^^
Non, non, non, zZz was crystallizing the top of his creme brulee? N’est-ce pas??
mais evidemment ralmn, il est tout du dessert *snort*
Bien oui, mais je prefere la creme brulee, alors c’etait une meilleure cause pour l’usage d’un torche. C’est important de lui donner la benifice du doute. *snort*
ummm, it was WITH a creme brulee torch… yes
though I wasn’t making any at the time….
*ahem… cough*
I should also note not to try blowtorching your hand at home kiddies….
I’m a trained professional…. lunatic.
I also burn myself regularly on stoves/soldering irons/ now a blowtorch….
so I’m fairly used to the ensuing, searing pain.
teehee, i am sofa king sweaty. j’ai tres tres soif et ensanglante…raaawwk
RAAWWWWk. only one good thing about my office: Air Conditioning. Though I do like the heat, it won’t last long enough.
*snort*.
Bad zZz.
je suis reconnaissant de ne pas peiner dans une cuisine^^conformement a la situation
oh, forgot the time I poured bacon grease from the pan over my hand…..
****mental note, don’t HOLD the jar in the sink when you pour….
that one was a little rough.
Me thinks you’re a bit of a klutz, zZz.
um, ya.
you could say that.
I’m one smart moron.
my hand only peeled after a week but was red for days and days.
it took 3 hours submerged in the ocean to stop my hand from … well, essentially cooking.
In the ocean! Hopefully not in the harbour portion of the ocean, I would be worried about infection. 😉 But I’m sure you’re a smarter moron than that!
indeed… drove with my hand in a glass of icewater to the nearest beach.
