Oh, we could cash out. On 40 cents on the dollar.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

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

the support person tries to sell you stuff
Having done that job, they don't have a choice except to try to sell you stuff. We got penalized if we didn't try to sell something to the people who were calling because they couldn't afford to keep the cable on. And there were sales goals that were never met and which management always screamed at us for not meeting.
It's not a happy job, but sometimes you need a job. Then there are the sadistic fucks who enjoy it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my iphone 6+ behaved very nicely. Matt's did not . He just spent 2 hours on the phone with at&t - and they were great. no selling. of course he got bumped up a service level. and my phone stopped working briefly after his started to work. I think we are good sorry you had the unfun tommyrot

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I read where the key to dealing with Comcast (and AT&T) upsell when you're cancelling service is to tell them you're moving overseas, or at least somewhere where they don't offer service. That means that the call center person's record doesn't get dinged for 'losing' your account.
Also, I'd like to state for the record, that while I didn't get my desk completely cleared off yesterday, I made some serious progress re: bare surface and organization. I kind of forgot just how big this desk is....

Foggy (and stinky, wtf, fall air quality) this morning.
Loki's new trick: shoving the alarm clock off the table so it hangs by its cord and he can take swings at it. Not helpful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I called to cancel my Comcast account, telling them I was moving in with someone who already had an account worked magic. I don't think I would have said it if it weren't more or less true, though.

I will keep this in mind. I'll be canceling soon I hope. My brother worked for Comcast for a decade or so doing installs and internet service calls. After he couldn't be on the road anymore (he has MS), they put him in the call center. He couldn't deal at all being up close to the corporate silliness. He isn't there anymore. He ended up making his part time job full time, and as soon as the insurance kicked in he quit Comcast.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We cannot carry over any vacation and do not have a set # of sick days do those do not bank either. I hate that you only get 2 weeks until you have been here 5 years. It is non negotiable except for high level people bring hired in. I asked to skip a raise and get more days and was denied.
