Just another day in paradise

We're in a flood warning area. Supposed to get 4" of rain today. So where was this precipitation in February when the NH Special Olympic winter games were cancelled due to the fact there was NO snow on the ground. Now the regional games have been cancelled because of the rain. Whats wrong with this picture?

Of course my other DD is still heading for a Girl Scout outing. Now if they quit early she's going to have to come hang with me, DH & DS are having a father/son day.

And I'm looking forward to a perfectly horrid day at work. Yes, the new system is up and running, with enough bugs to make an exterimator happy, but we're being bombarded with phone calls from frustrated and downright angry and rude customers who are getting renewal notice after renewal notice. Okay people, they're JUST renewal notices. Every magazine company sends them out over and over again. Its called marketing. Yes they're a PIA, but just look at whats happening with the world around us, war in Iraq, AIDS, Darfur, bird flu AND GET OVER IT!!!! This is not a major thing!!! Don't call us customer service reps and take out all your frustrations. We are humans too. Believe it or not, we have feelings. We do our best to help out, try to get the message through to the marketing dept (who rarely listen), but the ruder you are, the less we want to help you. Swearing at us is not going to get you anywhere! If you want to get your point across write a strongly worded letter to the vp of marketing and tell them just what you think. It'll hold a lot more water than the pawns in the first line.

There, I had to vent a little. After 2 weeks of hardly anything but bitch calls I'm a bit frustrated. Everyone in the office is. We have people bailing on us left and right and no help in sight.

I just need to channel Nora Roberts, make several million dollars then I can quit my day job.

How's the water level there? We're flooded and closed down up here -- literally. Nearly every road in town has been closed! *sigh*
