Time honored haggling.
This is how it works. They were having difficulty putting
through my adjustments. The system wouldn’t allow it. If, after the fourth
call, you haven’t been cut off and if your problem still dangles like an unchewable, indigestible issue
unresolved – the help desk will transfer you to the solutions desk – selections
of robust music will blast your eardrum while you wait – music to dance to, by yourself?
Finally like a dream come true - a cheerful, confident voice
answers, picks you up off the dusty, kvetch laden floor and dusts you off –
that same voice strokes your
nerves – “we’re sorry, we value your loyalty, maybe we can help – expand your
message box, definitely – increase your decreases - unlimited this and
unlimited that and not only that - a big fat credit. Let’s see what we can do.”
She dangles large numbers in front
of my nose.
“What, wow, –
O yes really that’s wonderful, really wonderful. Thank you. When? Right now, right this minute, fantastic, really” And there you have it, a perfect
solution after time honored haggling, speechless.
From a warmer day, sigh of relief, last November off hwy

Wonderfully described, the agony and the ecstacy.

Thank you so much Barbara.
ReplyDeleteIt was ridiculously time consuming, but after a comedy of frustration and errors they gave me a peach of a plan and I'll be eternally grateful to the solutions desk now that I know that such a thing exists.
Love,
Marcia
