Response to a help request I sent regarding an order i placed:

"The customer service team has received your email and a new ticket has been created. Your ticket ID is BDM-92077-567. You will receive a reply to your email within 5-7 days."

Cool. Talk to you next week, jerks.

Ever notice how if you want to talk to a human instantly at a company, you call the Sales line, but if your great love in life is hold music, you call the Customer Service line.

A better tool

Dave Tufts commented: Just downloaded Soulver - it's great. I also like using the search box in my browser or Google. Similar, linear layout to Soulver. (for the record, that giant calculator on my desk looked like a small regular-sized calculator in the picture on Amazon)

Lunchroom Banter (Volume XX)

Nick commented: Since Bill didn't do it, I will. "Oh snap!"

iMarcians with staying power

Nick commented: Congratulations on the anniversaries. I had a professor tell me early on at the Art Institute that "you can expect to change web jobs every 2-3 years until you settle somewhere". I love proving this guy wrong every day. Congrats again.

Twitter, Alone, Is Not Customer Service

Jay G commented: Same here, and my story is with Alaska Air, too. Their website said the customer service phone number was open something like 8am-8pm PST, but this was after hours, so I tweeted.
