THE NEGATIVE REACTION

WIRELESS RACKETS

Ok, so I work in a small office that does wireless. We rep for Nextel, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T.

I had the unfortunate incident to have to call Nextel because a customer of mine cancelled her contract several days after she got her account set up. She was porting her number from Qwest to Nextel. What a fucking disaster. Funny, they have no record fo her calling in, and thus have billed her and now she seems to be stuck in a two year contract that she doesn't want.

Nextel is the biggest pile of shit company. They won't do anything for thier customers, they fuck their customers and every turn and give nothing back. I have officially stopped selling thier product. Unless somebody wants it - I'm not selling it. I've spent more times trying to reconcile somebody's Nextel account than any other carrier we work for. Is this what customer service is coming to?

As soon as I can, I'm getting out and writing a SCATHING book on the industry. The inner workings of how the wireless companies monopolize and fuck their customers. Signing them up for long term contracts without their consent, ruining their credit, and basically leaving them with nothing but hate.

Am I bitter, nope. I just am sick and tired of dealing with people whose job it is to make sure the comapnies money flows in and nothing goes out - no matter what.

Oh well - so much for my ranting.

So it was my son't birthday yesterday. He turned 9 and is so much more mature than his age. His mind is just razor sharp. Unfortunately, he has a touch of his father's laziness that I'm trying to work out of him. Instilling a hard working attititude is what my goal is. If I can do - then I truely have accomplished something as a parent.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh my next rant. So I'm from Edina. Yeah, my parents were well to do off. So I'm at my alma mader's hockey game last night. I try talking to the guy on my right. An older gentleman - prolly in his 40's. He seems to know all the kids by thier first name. So I try to engage in some sort of conversation. The guy just straight up ignores me. What a stuck up cock. If I could've, I would drilled the guy. It seems that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

When I graduated from High School, I vowed that I never wanted to see the people that had made my life hell for three years. Too many attitudes, too much, "we're better than everybody else", too many politics, too much bullshit and fakeness to go around. Yeah, I can appreciate what my school gave me, I can appreciate the sports programs. It's really the people that drive me nuts. I lived, I've learned and matured along the way. Maybe it's just a love/hate relationship I have. I can let go of all the bullshit, but will always have a place in my heart for the city I grew up in.

This what saddens me about my son. He will never have the opportunity I had to make freinds, to play in one city. To take everything in and appreciate what this state has to offer. I had a brilliant upbringing and I think the opportunity to have what I had. . is. . .gone forver.

Why does life suck so bad sometimes??
