[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oof. Too. Cute.
DH and I got into a huge argument last night. After getting up with the kids at six-freakin'-thirty-AM, I spent a normal day taking care of them, running Owen to school and picking up, doing three loads of laundry, making doctors' appointments and calling a plumber, making dinner, feeding the kids and bathing them ALL BEFORE HE GOT HOME at 6:30 p.m.
He got home, ate his dinner, went downstairs to watch Pardon the Interruption. The kids followed him into the playroom. Ten minutes later, I hear a commotion. DH comes upstairs holding a crayon and says (Hand to God, this is a direct quote), "Owen colored on the walls and I blame you because you didn't put the crayons up after craft time."
ME. The person who was on a different floor of the house. Not the parent who was THREE FEET AWAY FROM HIM when he was committing the offense.
I flipped out like a mammal.
After using a Magic Eraser to clean up the crayon. Best. Invention. Ever.
I am now going to share with you the magic ingredient that made it work: The customer service reps were authorized to fix whatever problem people called in with.
Ah, what a lovely Paradise you must have lived in.
The rest of the world evidently decides that they have hired retarded monkeys who cannot be trusted to address problems without somebody holding their hand. And then they walk away, leaving no hand for the monkey to hold.
Given authority and back-up, the reps confidence level will soar, problems will be solved and satisfaction will skyrocket. Lacking that...well, you have what we see all around us today. Resentful reps, tired of being screamed at by people on the phone, tired of being treated like mentally challenged criminals by their superiors and feeling the frustration of being asked to help but not being allowed to do it. With no incentives to really try anyway.
Oh, Cashmere. I would have flipped too. Grrr!
Seekrit Message to Cash's DH:
Dude. Just no. Seriously.
Listen to your survival instincts.
I like cheese.
Cash's DH, honey
What? What are you talking about, Aims?
Crazy woman.
I'm just impressed you didn't shove the Magic Eraser somewhere painful and hard to retrieve.

I think Cash may have already shoved the the crayon there. Grrrrrrrrrr in direction of Cash's DH.
