Good Enough? That would be nice...

Sometimes you get too angry to even blog about it. After a very stressful 3 days, I will simply say:
To the McDonalds in my neighborhood: It's a good idea and policy to hire mentally deficient people and try to mainstream them. It really is. However, do you really think it is a good idea to put them on the FRONT COUNTER??? Hey... here's a customer retention tip for free... when you have 20 people standing at the counter and one kid who is abvously defeated by the entire system of pushing the freaking "Big Mac" button... get some help. You lost 12 customers today!!!

To the people who we refininaced with: You got my money and now I can't get any customer service. I want my escrow account to be added to my payment. Is that hard? Is it too difficult? You have sent me 27 pieces of mail trying to sell me more insurance, life insurance, health insurance, mortgage protection plans... And when I call for the bazillionth time to find out what is happening with my escrow I get an interminable sequence of voice mail instructions... and at the end I get my payment... WITHOUT THE ESCROW!!!

To the guy who came out and took an hour of our time to give us a bid on painting the interior of our home: You said you would have a bid to us in 3 days. That was 12 days ago. We have talked to your office staff and they promised us next day. Then we called you and you said "ooops, sending it tomorrow." Then we called again and left a message. Dude... we got another guy.
PS... to the 4 contractors who didn't show up after scheduling an appointment... we wont bother you again, and we will let our friends know not to bother you as you seem to be too busy to do what you say you will. Yeah, I know, stuff happens.

To the people who are whining about the economy and how tough it is to do business: If you do business like these people (oh and also my cellular company, the clients who don't respond at all after long proposals have been diligently delivered on-time, and the couple who thought that I should shoot their merchandise for free so I could get great shots of gift candles in my portfolio...)... get out. You don't get it. You will fail someday. Hopefully.

And to the people who keep sending me spam with catchy messages like:

"THIS WILL BE OUR ABSOLUTE ANNOUNCEMENT

We have sought to be in touch with you on a lot occurences and now is the time to respond!"
And
"Hi beautiful The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is the example of the eternal seductiveness of life.,"
And
Give all to Love; Obey thy heart; friends, kindred, days, estate, good-fame, plans, credit and the Muse, nothing refuse,

>> And then show the most repulsive porn photos that you can imagine<<
There will be a special place in hell for you freaks... Stop it. Stop it now

I am making it a goal to do business only with those who value business. Really value it.

Argghhhh.... ("a little banjo music here.... ahhhhh.... happy again)
