Hump Day Vent

Here is the actual "support" chat between me and an AT&T CSR a few minutes ago:

Bonnie: There isn't another link. I will have to try a different browser, I suppose (I have already tried logging out). Thanks, anyway.

Dolores: Did you want me to stand by? If I can give you a number to order by phone.

Bonnie: No I need to be able to look at the phones and compare. I'll either have to get it figured out online or go into a store.

Bonnie: It wont even give me an option to see other phone options at this point.

Dolores: What about ordering by phone?

Bonnie: No, I'd have to be able to see the phones and their features in order to be able to pick a phone out to order it by phone.

Dolores: To purchase over the phone, please call the AT&T Sales department at 1-888-333-6651. I'd hate to see you frustrated even more.

Bonnie: Ok, thanks

Bonnie: but I'm not purchasing by phone since I won't be able to pick a phone out over the phone.

Dolores: You're most welcome! Enjoy the new phones.
This is comical to me. At one point I thought: is she even reading what I'm typing?" I considered typing something random like, "Baby elephants make me happy" to see when and if she would even mention it.

On another note, what is up with the Kim Kardashian petition going around on FB? This further solidifies my contempt for people due to the general level of stupidity they exhibit. If you don't want to watch Kim Kardashian, then don't. I have managed to go my entire life without watching a single episode of "Keeping Up." I didn't need a petition to do so. It amazes me that we can't get people to sign petitions on things like world-wide genocide (Hey-if it doesn't affect Americans, who cares, right?), but they will happily seek out and sign the anti-Kardashian petition.

Also, while I'm a rant:
Could the occupiers please go home already?
I'm tired of hearing about them.
Aside from that, they don't even have a goal. At least the Korean War protesters (whom I've heard them compared to) had a goal: bring the troops home. These people are just causing mayhem and making themselves look ridiculous. I'm sure the initial group had good intentions (although still no clear goal other than (I suppose) awareness), but they should have begun screening the nut jobs that hopped on the bandwagon and started causing all the problems. Now they all look like a bunch of loons.
98% of Americans want more than they have?
Nay, 100% of Americans want more than they have.
And guess what: You aren't going to get it by camping out in a city park.
Pack your shit up, go home and get a job.
[Yes, I realize as a liberal I am supposed to follow the herd of mindless sheep and occupy something myself, but I am very much fiscally conservative, hence the opposition.]

:) No, I'm not upset. Just venting a little. (:
Enjoy your eve!
