  • I'm not sure how we got here from there

    I'm working the random Saturday shift today!

    I answer the phone just now and it's one of our Satellite customers that's having an issue with is receiver. I asked him for his phone number so the Satellite lady can call him to set up a service appointment.

    He starts rambling about politics. Just randomly without me saying anything remotely connected TO politics.

    I'm not going to get into much of what he said because it's Fratching material. But. here's my favorite line:

    "I wish I were able to be a big, fat, Republican senator so I can just go to the Bahamas all the time. F**k the people."



    I responded with something along the lines of "at least we still get this beautiful Florida day, even if it's not the Bahamas!"

    It took 5 minutes to get his damn number of out him and another 5 to get him off of the phone.

    He can spend a winter in Wisconsin and then complain about how miserable Florida is, then.

    Seriously.

      I ran screaming from Maryland because I got sick of the snow up there. The funny thing is, I think he's a snowbird. So he actually bought a house HERE to avoid the northern winters.

      Some people will never ever be happy. So, I'll continue to get political rants from people I don't know because they like to bitch :P

        I not only ran screaming from the same state, but I also took my cats with me. They were looking at me funny the entire trip. Down where I live now, a small flurry is cause to shut down the entire state and delcare a state of emergency. I just laugh at everyone.
        Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

          Some people view politics as their religion, themselves as ministers, and everybody else as sinners needing to be saved.

            Huh. I went to a steward training weekend in Silver Spring back in 2002. They got a half inch of snow and ran around in a panic. I even saw somebody plowing a parking lot. Maybe that was just an odd group of people?

            Up here, half an inch isn't even noticeable.

                  Somehow I suspect there's not a microscope powerful enough to find that.
