I WANT TO START THIS BLOG TONIGHT..WITH A SPELLING DISCLAIMER.....I DO KNOW HOW TO SPELL, BUT AT THIS HOUR OF THE NIGHT....I DONT USE THE SPELL CHECK OR REREAD MY WRITINGS...SO IF THERE ARE MISTAKES, ATTRIBUTE TO TIREDNESS,,,,NOT BAD SPELLING.
The phone company is so full of crap! My phones havent been working right..or at all since MONDAY. I called 411 to get their repair number. When I dialed the number given by the computer voice(that I usually curse at) a recorded message"this is a non working number of VERIZON" please call...............Then I called another number and Pushed 1 for English, 2 for business, 2 for Fios, 3 for repair, then repeated my phone number....then more messages that they are looking up my account. Then another computer voice tells me they are switching me to the proper person. Then, I am told after a while, that all the Service people are with other people and their will be a short wait...(ten minutes have passed and my blood pressure is starting to rise.
After another ten minute I get a live person.....who asked me all the same questions all over, plus my adress, and who I am!! Then she asks me to hold.....and then takes some more information, before WE ARE DISCONNECTED!!!!!!
I DIAL BACK AND NOW THE CORRECT NUMBER GIVES ME A RECORDING THAT IT IS A NON WORKING NUMBER...THEN I CALL THE OTHER NUMBER WHICH WAS THE NON WORKING NUMBER AND THIS TIME, IT WORKED???!!!!! wENT THRU HALF OF THE SAME PROMPTS WHEN I GET A MESSAGE TO CALL BACK AT ANOTHER TIME BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO OVERWHLEMD WITH CALLS. I KEPT TRYING, AND EVENTUALLY AN HOUR LATER I GAVE A FULL REPORT....
IN THE MEANTIME, A VERIZON TECHNICIAN CAME IN TO REPORT THAT THE BUSINESS BEHIND MINE HAS THEIR WIRES CROSSED WITH MINE, AND WE WERE GETTING THIS OTHER GUYS CALLS. BUT THIS SWITCHING HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH MY PROBLEMS.. I ARGUES WITH THE TECHNICIAN....WHO WAS A VERY NICE, TWO HEADS TALLER THAN ME ASSHOLE. HE CLAIMED TO CHECK OUT THE ENTIRE BUILDING.. HE TOLD ME IT HAS TO BE THE WIRING IN THE BUILDING, OR MY PHONE SYSTEM OR SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE SPILLED COFFEE INTO THE PHONES...BUT VERIZON IS NOT RESPONSIBLE...AND ITS OUR PROBLEM.. I WANTED TO HIT HIM ON THE HEAD WITH A ROCK!!
i CALLED BACK TODAY....AND THEY SENT A DIFFERENT TECH GUY...A LITTLE GEEKING LOOKING.. HE LISTENED TO ME IN DETAIL AND HE SAID HE THINKS HE KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS....HE WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING....AN HOUR AN HALF LATER..HE CAME BACK AND TOLD ME ITS ALL FIXED!!! AND THAT IT WAS IN THE CENTRAL STATION COMPUTER...THAT IT WAS ALL SET UP INCORRECTLYH AND NO FAULT OF OURS...OR THE PHONE SYSTEM.... hE SAID THE OTHER GUY WAS JUST STUPID AND LAZY....I THANKED HIM A LOT.
THE POINT OF THE ABOVE STORY IS DUFOLD. ONE IT IS THE FRUSTRATION OF TODAYS SITUATION.....BUT IT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF DEALING WITH ALL BIG COMPANIES.....ONE HAS TO HAVE THE COURAGE OF ONES CONVICTIONS AND THE PERSISTENCE TO FIGHT THE BASTARDS....ALL THE BIG COMPANIES ARE LIKE GIANT ASSOLES....RUN BY ASSHOLES....AND ARE DARK AND STINKY, DANGEROUS TO ENTER AND FIGHT....AND YOU CANT BELIVE THEM AND ARE ALL FULL OF SHIT!!! iNSURANCE COMPANIES, UTILITIES,INSURANCE COMAPNIES, GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, ANY LARGE COMPANY THAT OFFERS GUARANTEES WITH THEIR PRODUCTS, AND SO ON AND SO ON.......
I LIKE TO THINK, INVENT, CREATE...ALL KINDS OF THINGS. WHEN I WAS 9 OR TEN, I DREW A PIX OF A CAR WHOSE METAL CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS MADE UP OF MANY PEICES AND FOLDED UP AND WENT INTO THE TRUNK. MY FATHER TOLD ME I WAS CRAZY, IT JUST COULDNT BE DONE....SHUT UP!!!!! WHEN WE USED TO DRIVE ON RT 3 THRU THE MEADOWLANDS, WHEN I WAS 8 OR 9, THE AREA SMELLED LIKE PIG SHIT AND SMOKE. WHY????BECUASE THERE WERE PIG FARMS AND SLAUGHTER HOUSES IN SECAUSCUS...AND THERE WERE GARBAGE DUMPS THERE, WHERE THEY USED TO BURN ALL THE GARBAGE...BEFORE THEY LEARNED ABOUT AIR POLUTION....ONE WOULD GAG..ALMOST VOMIT...FOR A FIVE MINUTE PORTION OF THE RIDE...
ONE DAY, WHILE ALMOST PUKING UP SUNDAY BREAKFAST....ON THE WAY TO VISIT MY GRANDMOTHER IN QUEENS, I WAS LOOKING AT THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING..THEN ABCK TO THE SMOKING GARBAGE DUMP.. MY LITTLE MIND REALIZED THAT NYC WAS FILLED. NO ROOM TO BUILDING....AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME ACROSS THE RIVER AND CONTINUE TO BUILD THE CITY OUT HERE..."daddy, I SAID.... NYC WILL COME OUT HERE...THEY WILL BUILD ALL KINDS OF THINGS RIGHT HERE IN THE DUMPS....THE PROPERTY WILL BECOME VERY VALUABLE.....PEOPLE WILL LIVE HERE, SHOP HERE AND PLAY HERE....."SHUT UP HE SAID, WHAT DO YOU KNOW.....THIS IS A GARBAGE DUMP AND A PIG FARM.." DADDY YOU SHOUL BUY THE LAND HERE..."SHUT UP YOUR CRAZY"
WELL TWO THING TO REALIZE....MY FATHER WASNT RICH, AND COULDNT AFFORD TO ACTUALLY BUY THE MEADOWLANDS, BUT HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN A GROUP TOGETHER.......AND SEONCDLY, MY FATHER, WHO WAS REALLY A VERY GOOD MAN, WASNT A CREATIVE THINKER AND PLANNER....
WELL, I WOULD BE THE LANDLORD OF THE MEADOWLANDS, AND A DOEN SHOPPING CENTERS, HOTELS, MOTELS, INDUSTRY,OFFICE BUILDING, RESTAURANTS..ETCETCETC..I WAS RIGHT..BUT THERE IS NO GLORY IN BEING RIGHT....NO MONEY IN BEING RIGHT.......THEY BOTH MADE THE FORD HARD TOP CONVERTIBLE IN 1957 TO 59 AND A FEW YEARS AGO, THERE WERE A FEW OTHER CARMAKERS THAAT BROUGHT IT BACK.........
LETME CONTINUE TO MENTION SOME OF THE OTHER IDEAS THAT I HAD THAT WERE EVENTUALLY PRODUCED FOR THE MASSES. IN THE 1980S, I BOUGHT MY FIRST 14FT TRUCKS...I HATED DRIVEING IT BECAUSE I COULDNT SEE THAT WELL...AS IN A VAN. SO i BOUGHT A TV CAMERA...WHICH WAS PRIMITIVE THEN AND A TIVE SCREEN AND WAS GOING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA ON THE TOP OF THE TRUCK AND ATTACH IT TO A PORTABLE TV IN THE FRONT....SO I COULD SEE WHAT WAS IN BACK AND TO THE SIDE OF ME...I WAS TOLD BY FREINDS HOW LAME THIS WAS, AND NEVER HOOKED IT UP...... TEN YEARS OR MORE LATER, THIS IDEA WAS BEING BUILT INTO TRACTOR TRAILERS..AS PART OF STANDARD EQUIPMENT AND SOME CARS NOW HAVE IT..I ALSO PUT A PORTABLE TIVE IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY LINCOLN CONTINENTAL IN 1965..WHICH WAS SOMETHING PEOPLE LAUGHED AT..AND NOW...MANY CARS HAVE THEM BUILT IT..
tHE PROBLEM IS THAT I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO PROMOTE MY IDEAS.....ONE THAT I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO WORK ON STARTED ONE HOT SUMMER ON MY WAY BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY... I WOULD STOP AT GAS STATIONS TO GET COLD DRINKS....AND THE CHOICE WAS SO LAME. COKE OR PEPSI....7 UP, MAYBE ORANGE OR ROOTBEER..IN THOSE DAYS THERE WASNT EVEN OTHER FLAVOR SODAS IN SMALL CANS...I GOT THE IDEA THEN HOW NICE IT WOULD BE IF THEY HAD SMALL BOTTOLES OF ICE TEA, OR ORANGE AND OTHER JUICES....OR PUNCHES, THEY DIDNT EVEN HAVE BOTTLES OF COLD WATER FOR SALE...NOW, GAS STATIONS HAVE THREE CASES FILLED WITH SO MANY DRINKS, YOU HAVE TO SPEND HALF AN HOUR MAKING A DECISION WHIC ONE TO DRINK.....AND IN THOSE DAYS, THEY DIDNT HAVE DIET SODA AVAIL EITHER.....I COULD HAVE BEEN MR SNAPPLE, OR MR GREEN TEA MAN, OR MR JUICE HEAD......NOW HERE ARE A HUNDRED CHOICES....
I HAD THE IDEA TO COME OUT WITH APRODUCT CALLED "MISHSHIGENAH NUTS" A CAN OF NUTS WITH A PICTURE OF A MR PEANUT TYPE OF GUY...THAT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS CRAZY....(NUTZ) AND CALL IT "MISHDUGENAH NUTZ" I CALLED UP A NUT PACKING COMPANY IN NEWARK.....I PRICED 50,000 CANS ...WITH THE PRINTING.....CUSTOM MADE... THE COST TO START WAS ASTRONOMICAL...SO I COULDT AFFORD TO DO IT.......WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, THE PRODUCT CALLED "MISUGANAH NUTS" WAS IN THE KOSHER DELIS AND OTHER STORES........
I HATE O'REILLY, BUT TONIGHT, I HATE HIM A LITTLE LESS. EITHER HE IS MELLOWING OUT...FORM THE FAR RIGHT....OR...HE IS NOW TRYING TO DO THINGS TO IMPROVE HIS IMAGE TO THE DEMOCRATS AND THE INDEPENDENTS.
A MARINE WAS KILLED THE THE CURRENT WAR....IT TURNS OUT, THAT IT TURN OUT HE WAS GAY...(HOW THE NEWS GOT TO THE PRESS AFTER HIS DEATH, I DO NOT KNOW) THE REVEREND PHELPS...THE BAPTIST MINISTER...WHOSE WEBSITE IS GODHATESFAGS.COM..... PICKETED HIS FUNERAL.. which is not a very Christian thing to do...They were shouting horrible tings, as they tried to bury our MARINE HERO. The father..MR SNYDER...sued the Reverend and his disgusting CHURCH...and won 11 million dollars...later it was overturned and the CHURCH (what a joke its not a church but a hate cult) sued MR SNYDERY for their costs of their lawyers and they won 16,000 settlement, which he will not pay. He is applying to the SUPREME court to overturn his settlement....they won on a first amendment...which...harrasing a funeral..is not a first Amendment issue on my book.....well, MR FAR RIGHT O'reilly, offered to pay this 16,000 if MR SNYDER has to pay the CHURCH......and O'Reilyy will rally for this cause...regardless that it is partially a GAY issue, which would ordinarily be too liberal for him...Maybe in his old age...Bill is starting to see things differently...and doing the right thing might become part of his repertoire.
