Customer Service

Have you ever called a company and gotten a representative that you could not hear or understand?

I think that in order to work a phone job you should have a LOUD and CLEAR voice. I have gotten to the point that I do everything over the internet so I do not have to deal with talking to people. I got a deep fryer for Christmas and something on it is broken so I call Rival the company that manufactures it and you can hardly hear the people, I know that it is not my hearing. Then the girl comes on the line, she is quiet and timid. Although I can hear her breathing in the phone as she is looking up my part I have to basically squish the phone inside my ear to hear her speak.

Then to beat everything, they do not have my part and I need to call back in 2 weeks to see if they have it, so I get to go through it all over again!

Bargains

I love Christmas Clearance shopping. I went to Target on Friday and bought so much stuff at 90% off. I am set on wrapping paper, bows, boxes, and lights for next year. Every year we have a real tree but I just found out that hubby will be gone next year and I figure I will probably travel at Christmas just for the sake of being around family. So I purchased my first Fake tree. I am so anti-artificial trees, I love the real tree, I love everything about it. But when I was in target they had a prelit, 7 ft tree for 8.99 I just had to get it. I also got one for my friend hers was a little different and it was 1.60. I love a good bargain, don't you!!

My New Years Resolution

Well it has been a month since my last post and I do feel very neglectful. My resolution is to be a better blogger this year. I seemed to have lost time to blog for the last half of last year.

Today is the hubbys birthday, he is 29. I just made him a birthday cake from scratch, thats right people no cake mix or frosting from a can. I got the Paula Deen, Just Desserts, Cookbook for Christmas and this is the first thing I made from it. The batter tasted good and so did the frosting so we will see how the whole thing comes together at tonights presentation. We are going to out local Japanese steakhouse for dinner, per hubbys request. And my friend Alison and her beau are going with us too. My husband loves sushi and I just cant seem to stomach it, I guess it has to do with the fact that I do not eat anything from the water anyhow.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all a proseperous new year.
