morning

[keiliss]

I had to phone the bank first thing (8.15) this morning to sort out a problem. Four phonecalls later, after one 'phone your branch\', one 'not my problem' and one 'not our branch, you need to call the

other

branch', I finally, FINALLY found someone who cared and could fix it for me. And it couldn't have been very complicated because it only took her twenty minutes.

Have a headache. This is so not how I needed to start my day.

Ugh. Banks suck in every country. Hubby is still waiting for them to fix a fraudulet transaction from a month ago.

We've both had interesting mornings. G ran off with the house key to go to work (supposed to have left it) and so I'm stuck here.

I know how you feel. I had a similar problem trying to get a gas bill sorted last week. I spent the day being passed from department to department. Turns out the first number I rang was the correct one. Grrrrr.

But why should it matter which branch you call? One would think they would all be interconnected. That's just pure laziness.
I hope the rest of your day goes/went better!
Ooh... work just called. They probably want me to come in early. Maybe if I ignore it they will go away... *sigh*
I hate being the dependable one.

Urrrrrgh! What a way to spend the morning.  **head-->hand**

That sounds like the original definition of 'the runaround.' I hope your day got better, darling.

**hugs tight**

Nobody ever wants to do their job, do they?

Thing that gets to me is the attitude of 'why should I care?' that comes across. Because without suckers like me, you wouldn't have a job, that's why you should care, dearie!!!!!

And oh yes, a month at least sounds right - if they can't wiggle out of admitting liability, that is.

Ah well, it meant you had nothing much else to do but sit and talk *g*. Goodnight, btw -- have a good evening.

There's a movie on tv about horse racing, with talking horses...... it's time I was in bed!

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

Yes, that sounds about right. I've had a similar run in with the city's electricity department :) Not a pleasure!

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

They don't go away if you ignore them *g*.

The whole problem with calling early in the work day is people haven't had their coffee yet, they're not interested in being helpful. The not my branch thing? Yes, quite!

I never quite seemed to catch up with the day, you know. Or get rid of the headache. Was a great pity really as it was truly gorgeous weather, not too warm, not too cool, no wind.

*hugs you*

I sat for about fifteen minutes just trying to get my energy together before I started. I had an idea it wouldn't be straight forward *g*.

Petty little people. Give them an ounce of power and watch out, world! I swear the girl who said she couldn't help me was enjoying herself.

*hugs*

ugh.

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

Sums it up, yes

[melusine6619.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness. "Customer service" seems like an oxymoron these days. I hope today is better.

*hugs*

The second person made me feel almost that I should apologise for disturbing her *g*. Thanks, love, life looked a lot better when the headache wore off.

*hugs you*
