Also? TJ's strawberry fruit floes are addicticve and I just ate the last one and I'm headed to TJless territory and while the ff are relabeled versions, I doubt I can find either version where I'm going. And they are really good.

Now tagless for your comfort.
ita, sorry about the jackaround with Dell. Have you had any experience with Gateway?
msbelle, I was just window shopping at apple.com. My lovely notebook computer with the video ipod and the airport wireless sits in my cart. Waiting for the day when I win the lottery. Or inherit $3500.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which is why I need to become VP of customer service for some large company.
You totally do.

Honestly? That is the only career path in my current line of work. Which... I have mixed feelings. I'm a lowly peon.

Well, don't sell yourself short and all that. Also, I was just talking to our COO and she said she wasn't sure that her last job was actually preparing her for this job, but sure enough, it was. So sometimes you just go for stuff and it works out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my job I have to be the customer-facing person who owns up to my mistakes, or the mistakes of others on my team. It's been that way for at least a decade.
I think I'm pretty good at it, really.
No, the customer's not always right. But, man, there's still a lot of room there to work with them.
I'm a lowly peon.
Well, today.

Hi, have you met sara?
Sara who is awesome and smart and cute and totally fun to be with and a real life grown-up and responsible and like doubts all those things all the time.
oh wait, it was ita who hated compliments. damn.

You guys are sweet. I really need to sit down and figure out what next. I've been avoiding that. Reality is I've been in an easy dead end job for 9 (fucking) years. I don't have a lot of ambition, really. Things always came easy, and I got used to that while being the Star. But reality, she does a fine job of equalizing. I've had dreams and slowly smushed them. Which is distressing, but whatever. No hairpats, I've done it myself.
No, the customer's not always right.
But the trick is making them feel at least partly right. Or at least don't tell them they are fucking out of their minds.
OK, I may have jury duty in a month, but at least it is likely I won't get the kid murder retrial. Uhg.

msbelle, I'm like ita in that. So you weren't ALL wrong.

Triplicate!
I promise myself I'd go to bed early, so I think I shall (for me.) We'll see if it works!
