And then, as if it were a poem in lit class, I took the words apart, and realized, at least for these purposes, that I was somebody.
I love this sentence beyond the telling of it.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My favorite too, -t. Erika's drabbles are always painful.
Sarameg, Gar's right. That was a gut-punch.

It was erika's mention of road pizza that prompted it (dad referred to his pizza face after his accident.) Or started it percolating. Something like that. Thanks!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
dcp, I hope you don't mind but I tagged your photo "vampire people." I am such a dork.

You did that? I thought I did that -- I saw it on tscola's pix, and your pix, so I went back and added it, along with the geotag. I wonder which one "took?" Either way, it's all good.

Hola Buffistas!
In an effort to battle Inner Dark Side Monkeys, plus inspiration from a very cool book I just read re: Internet fandom, I'm taking a poke at mine very own creative-type project in the field of, you know...writing and stuff.
No, it's not about the Internet.
It IS about Customer Service. Since I know there are fellow CS reps hereabouts on the board, I'm requesting stories. Anecdotes. Tales From the Trenches.
Any anecdote you feel is notable and worthy of (dimly) possible print someday...whether it be about good CS stories, bad CS stories, good or bad management while you were (or are) working CS...send 'em my way, if you please.
Note that this is primarily about the CS rep point of view. If your story is about good or bad service you've received...well, make that REALLY notable. This is primarily about the reps' POV.
Profile addy is good. Credit and thanks will be given. Eternal gratitude, names shouted from rooftops, etc. etc.
Thanks.

MM - would this include in-house service - net administrators or in-house tech support?
