My Day In The Philippines.......

Wednesday, May 30, 2012


I've got that sexy Demi Moore voice this morning......you know; kinda scratchy, raspy....deep.

And its not from a cold or allergies this time.....it's from

Pitney Bowes.

Yep, that's right.  Yesterday.......I had the misfortune to have to call Pitney Bowes.  All I needed was a box and label to return their equipment back to them in.  That's it.  Nothing major.....

After speaking with no less than 7 departments......in 3 separate calls to the Philippines......on hold for no less than 20 minutes each department and listening to Filipino folk music during each of those 20 minutes.....I

SCREAMED........

A BLOOD CURDLING......

LOUD.....

HARD......

TOP OF  MY LUNGS....

SCREAM


Bayani then transferred me to Wisconsin.

Ha ha ! Good for you.... Love it. I've heard that if you get an over seas person like that, you can demand ( or scream ) to talk to an American supervisor and they have to do it. I hate dealing with foreigners I can't understand like that.

OMGosh Liz! This cracked me up! BTW - thank you for sharing your angel/Chuck/hip story. I am discipling 2 teens on the gift of prophecy and they thought angelic visitations and works didn't happen anymore. HAH! It was so very cool and amazing to be able to tell them what happened. I am SO grateful to God for His faithfulness and to you for having the moral courage to be up front, open and honest about the wonders He has done.

I love you!

Thank heavens for the good ole USA!
I don't know anyone that could not relate to
your story! Do you suppose that is one way
to decrease complaints is to aggravate
someone so bad, that they could
aggravate the straw right out of a broom!
Most of the old ladies I know, start with some
choice four letter words,,,,even those that
usually go to church! I guess the devil
made them do it!

Wonder what could be payback for these
people......make up some long convoluted story and
go on and on with out taking a breath....and tie them up for hours. When they ask questions, give
completely unrelated replies that make no sense!....
and again, on and on. Someone should do a video
and put it on YouTube!

I'm going to send you a chocolate bar....you really need and deserve some chocolate!

Your blog tonight was awesome. I forwarded it to many of my boring friends who don’t understand me sometimes. I wanted them to know that there is another crazy lady in East Texas who KNOWS how to express herself, just as impolitely as I’ve been known to do. YOU GO GIRL. Scream away. I think we also need a scream group. On top of the table….dancing and screaming. Now I bet the cute cows across the road would really get a kick out of that! Love you, darlin
