Perspectives

The other day I was trying to pay a bill online, and found that the website would time out long before I would get to the page I needed to go to. Of course, it was after hours and was unable to contact the company's tech support.

So the next day, I called the company and was greeting by a pleasant rep, who asked my name and account number, and then the line went really muffled. Granted my allergies are causing my ears to clog, so I'm deaf to begin with, but I didn't think I was that bad, as I could hear people talking in the background. Come to find out the company was having a fire alarm...and could I please call back in 15 minutes...I don't know of any company that can complete a fire drill in under half an hour.

To make a long story short, it took 4 calls to 3 different numbers, and 7 reps before I was able to make an on-line payment. (Reminded me of the time I did the 4 hour driving course that really took 2 days!) It really irks me no end that 'they' say online should be better, quicker, faster, easier, and it's not!

After getting this all settled out, I felt I had earned the right to piss and moan about it a bit, when I read my friend TC's blog about her impending mastectomy...and I end up feeling petty. Funny how Life has a way of putting things in perspective, eh?

My first....

So, here's my first blog...not quite sure what to do, how much do I say? Do I really what my thoughts that public? I know "if you don't have something nice to say...". I'll have to be creative in how I vent.

Thank you SS...I guess you'll have added another task for me to do every few days. Lol!

Went to a Cubs game on Sunday, with a friend from SLC. We had great seats! Right behind home plate, under the terraces, perfect for people watching, and of course a game! I was amazed it took the Cubs 'people' 5 hours to call the game! I think they were waiting to ensure they got their concession money. Call me a cynic, but 5 hours? Poor guys that had to stand out in the rain to make sure the fans wouldn't storm the field! Hahahahaha!

Having said all that, it was a wonderful day spent with a good friend, in Wrigley field.

Thanks DM, for a great day at the ball park! And thanks for the tickets! I'll let you know which game I'll go see!
