Jerome Nelson, You Sir, are an idiot. 249

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Ah what a way to walk into work this morning… to spam. Lots of spam. And not the tasty kind that you can put on a stick and deep fry. (Why is there no deep fried spam at the CNE?)

And what do I hate more than spamming idiots? People who hit reply all to spamming idiots.

Seriously. Why would you put the other 400 some odd people who already suffered the fate of the originating e-mail, now I have to go through and delete all of your unwanted opinions as well?

I had the great idea to e-mail each person individually and teach them e-mail ettiquete but I realized it would be coming from my work e-mail address and that would likely be a bad thing.

Therefore, personally, I take the high-road, delete, stay silent, and blog for all to see.

I should be wearing my I’m blogging this shirt. I also need another one of those, but I think they’ve been discontinued. That makes Angela sad.

Here is the original e-mail:

In closing, Jerome Nelson of Van Nuys, CA… F*ck you.

Myspace Funnie Week – Lost in translation? 250

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Let’s do a week of Myspace funnies… starting… now!

I guess… this would be what I’m looking for in someone who is up front and forward. Too bad I don’t really understand a bloody thing the dude is asking. I really don’t know what he’s looking for.  Srsly.  Maybe this was a really bad babelfish translation that included words that just didn’t translate into English?

My work life. In chat room form.

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Ah customers… can’t deal with them, seemingly can’t ignore them.

And when customers keep asking me the same question over and over again (I guess hoping for a different answer?) it sucks talking to them on the phone because I have to waste precious breath and oxygen in order to speak the same answer over and over again.

However, with the advent of the chat room for customer service, I am able to copy and paste my one inquiry or answer, over and over again with very little effort until the customer either finally realizes I need more information… or finally realizes that I’ve already given them their answer and they can leave me alone.

Here’s two that both happened only moments. Crazy isn’t it. I deal with this every single day.

Oh those three little keys on my keyboard (Ctrl, C, V) how very important you are to my life!

P.S. I feel that I am more than in my rights to post the below conversations. I am, after all, wearing my “I’m blogging this” t-shirt at this very moment.

I feel a yearning to start singing “Somewhere over the rainbow”

Friday, July 30th, 2010

While I have to giggle and point and snort and laugh at the absurdity that is the next post… the hopeless romantic in me feels all warm and fuzzy and actually hopes this guy finds his special someone.  Unless of course this is all a sham to get someone to give him all their money. In which case I hope he suffers a horrible existence for trying to rob people.

But still. It is kind of sweet, and I’m missing a little bit of that these days.

Even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star. And when the night winds start to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky. Somewhere out there, You can be anywhere where when your life begins. You meet the right person and anything is possible … Somewhere out there, I want to be somebody’s everything; I want to be somebody’s boyfriend. I will like to make friend if you don’t mind.

Mortgage banker /= writer. Got it.

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Yeah… not even sure how to take this one. I mean, this isn’t NCIS where Gibbs is trusting his gut on something. This guy is trusting himself because of my myspace profile?  Maybe I should copy and paste my myspace profile to my blog so you 5 readers can see what it actually looks like…

“Steak old beliefs about where I come from”… hrm. It’s lunch time. I’m thinking something completely different now.

Hey there, i saw your profile here; seem fascinated by it, but something also tells me the person behind this profile lacks real happiness, i don’t know why i am inclined to believe this but, i sure know my instinct is right on this one. for this reason have i put myself out to secure your happiness. oh you find this hard to believe? well i don’t expect you to fall for this right away but, i sure expect you to give it a trial. you’ve got nothing to loose anyway. well, you might want to go through my profile. i must warn you not to steak to old beliefs about where i come from, this absolutely has nothing to do with my personality. you might just be fooled living with that belief. i leave you to your own decision. For the records my name is Phesty, i am a mortgage banker and not a writer. lollzz. Looking forward to reading from you.
