Dealing with Computers

This woman called in while I was on inbound freaky crazy screaming about how tired she is of year after year of wrong number debt collection calls to her number. I kind of felt bad for her. Then again, she'd been putting up with our company calling for five months! It was a wrong area code. Hundreds of calls because someone years ago mis-typed an area code.

What I wanted to tell her was that:

It was a computer that dialed the phone, not me! You've ignored a computer for the last five months. I'm the first human eyes on the data in our system. Ever. All you have to do is be smarter than a dumb computer!

What I did say was:

I'm so sorry for the calls. I can see that they'd be annoying. I'll fix it so we don't call you again.


Don't let computers do the talking ...
get to a human being.

And, get to a human being on on day 5 rather than day 165 ...
you will suffer a lot less stress.

My Favorite Things

Thirteen of My Favorite Things Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens.... I love watching and singing along to a great musical. When I was a kid I used to run about singing like life was a musical. People would ask me what I was singing, but I was just making it up as I went. And I love dancing. I talked my mother into letting me take ballet lessons for a little while. But I wasn’t graceful and my ballet teacher didn’t have very liberal thoughts on teaching children. If you sucked, she let you know. But, she couldn’t ever accuse me of not enjoying dancing. All my favorite songs are either on soundtracks, or are great story like “Desperado” by the Eagles. Listing thirteen favorites might be the subject of another Thursday Thirteen. Some of the movie songs I’ve listened to while typing today: Da Funk by Daft Punk on The Saint soundtrack and #1 Crush by Mundy on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Writing. I can get lost in writing. I love creating stories and characters. Apparently e
