      Ask, and ye shall receive. by nin_man 2002-03-28 13:54:40
Why, why, what's the point of buying a computer, if you're just going to be treated like a number? Stuck in a phone queue for hours on end listening to terrible music and being constantly reminded that your call is very important and that it will be answered shortly in the order in which it was received due to the terribly long hold times because no matter what time you call you're always calling during the busy time of the day of the busiest time of year as if there were ever a time when you could get right through to a human being. Sitting in your favorite chair, unable to enjoy your favorite show that's on for if you broke concentration someone would pick up and hang up on you right away when you didn't jump in and tell them what their problem was, and only if your telephone battery actually lasted that long which it never does and it always dies right as someone on the other side picks up. If you ever do manage to get through you talk to some nitwit who reads off the screen and hates you, even though he's never met you and he automatically knows more than you even though you make twice as much in an hour as you do in a whole day, poor underpaid fellows, I can't blame them for being bitter at the world. So he yells at you and tells you things in words he made up just for the occasion and every time you try and get a word in edgewise he jumps down your throat and says something insulting about your grandmother who has recently passed. After that, you get into an argument with him on how your grandmother was an incredible woman and helped shelter troops during the war only to find out his grandfather fought with the Japs and was shot down by some bleedin' American over Midway and he calls you something in some other language you don't understand so you ask to speak to another technician or a supervisor and he always transfers you over to the most inept new employee in the farm of rent-a-techs working out of a basement of some rich person's home in Iowa whose house generated electricity by the calls coming in and so it's always a rush to get you off the phone to the next person so the lights don't go dim because there's a monster that lives in the basement and eats people in the dark and it's all pure fear keeping these people going. When you get on the phone to someone again three hours later after the phone has fused itself into your ear they never have any idea what they're talking about, rambling on and on about how Chris was sitting RIGHT THERE a second ago and then the lights went out and now he's gone and you can't explain what the problem is and when you eventually get to say something the guy has to read word for word what's on the screen and it's never right, because he's telling you to go get a strip of duct tape, an oxyacetylene torch and three fertile hamsters just to get your email working again and he's misread and you're really supposed to have gerbils and using the hamsters has opened up an interdimensional portal and suddenly you've got a monster living in YOUR basement and you haven't seen your wife since. Then he hangs up on you and you've got to start all over again. Honestly, I think I'll just stick to writeing letters on paper instead of sending email. But then you've got to bother with lines at the post office and workers killing everything that moves and...
