I DEMAND sympathy for my ripped dress.
Or at least distract me while I get back on with Dell support, who gave me a bogus e-mail address yesterday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, I am sorry you are apparently the Hulk. Some of us just rip out of clothes due to cookies.

What is even happening?
If you haven't seen Grosse Pointe Blank you need to recuse yourself. Because he just wins. He's Lloyd Dobler, all grown up, and with a gun. Or seven.Oh, I did see that. I just forgot the character's name. No. Jim's better. Wait. Martin's better for you. Jim's better for me. We both win.
Jim is also Lloyd all grown up, who, as an adult, realized he has to sell something, buy something, or process something as a career.

Might take it to a tailor, as they might be able to repair it.
Your Dell conversations make me cry for user support. Explains why some of my users are so pathetically grateful over really mundane stuff (dude, someone wrote the Director complimenting me because I stepped him through using a rudimentary web search as soon as he called. Um? Lowered expectations much?) I really ought to look into a career managing customer support. It's about the only one of my skills I give a damned about.

It's not a pretty dress! It's rags. And the Dell Customer Support rep is acting a mixture of coy and goddamned stupid. I can't think of many more ways to ask "So how much notice will UPS give me of when they plan to come pick up the computer?"
Then she has the gall to ask if I'm satisfied with the level of service I've received. Honey, I ain't got none yet. Unless you count negative infinity as a valid level.

We're about at:
Them: Are you satisfied with the level of service I have provided today?
Me: No. I would like to know how much notice UPS will give me of when they are picking up the package. If you do not know, please say so, and if so...is there anyone who does?
Them: Ita, if you could please let me know what notice are you referring to? And we are here to assist you, if you could please rephrase the question we will be more than happy to assist you.
Me: How much notice will UPS give me of when they are picking up the computer? How soon in advance will they call or email me? The day before, or the same day?
I try not to get pissy, but I'm only human and my head is hurting and I just want the damned broken computer gone, but with enough notice to actually arrange that.

Can you just type "I WANT TO TALK TO A PERSON" over and over again?

I don't need to worry. They have taken care of this. Is there anything else that I may help you today?

Likely story.
