  Some background on Jace, he's my mouthy friend from Calgary, who introduced myself to Kurt-the-Bed-Hog.
He delievers pizza, and is generally pissed off at the world in a standup comedian type of way. He kept me sane in Calgary. This guy from India is chatting me up on ICQ. I�ve noticed it comes in waves, every tard from India messages me for a month, then the Egyptians step up, then the folks from Sweden.
Was all ready to go to work yesterday morning, despite the lesser rings of hell my head was in. I was pumped, out to placate the masses with an opiate (flair for the melodramatic much?). And, the car would not start. Not even a click. The battery was drained. For about 30 minutes, I truly felt I was life�s bitch, then I decided to shampoo the carpet, do the dishes, and phone people for The Cause as �Gentlemen Prefer Blondes� played demurely on the tube. I got one call back that didn�t pan out. So I ate some potatoes in a sauce from one of those envelopes, watched law and order, and felt sorry for myself a bit more.
The pity party was ceased due to fatigue. I napped my brains out while Kurt tackled the laundry. I get in touch with the boss man today. Yikes. Is he going to believe my fabulous non-luck? Do I mention to him I�m a leeeeeeetle crazy? These are the questions I�d rather curl up into a ball and not deal with.
There�s a crazy woman who keeps sending me messages on machine, evidently suffering from an emergency concerning her cable. Since I don�t actually deal with cable, and I gave her a thing with the Company�s number on it, I didn�t ever return her myriad of calls. I�m a jerk who sells dishes, but, in my defence, I don�t get paid, and in fact lose money whenever a fool calls me to complain about something.
A typical compliant call lasts about forty minutes. Most of the time, the complaint has to deal with some aspect the client didn�t understand, so I get to go through the process with them again. If it�s not misunderstanding, it�s late installation, which has nothing to do with me, I�m not told the intsaller�s name, company or phone number. All right, that�s all for me, must attend to Cordy, who has taken an unholy interest in my underwear.
