Vision Airships Global Expansion!
BANGKOK, THAILAND, Jul 09, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) - Vision
Airships Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VPSN) - The company wishes to announce that
it has finalized arrangements for funding for its global expansion.
Check out the news and get on VPSN first thing Thursday!
Maybe it's a little joke on the phone company's part.
In other words, my order was lost in the system, apparently
irretrievably. In all likelihood, most are antique and aren't
integrated, so getting information from one to the other can become a
complex endeavor. So my friendly representative created a new order for
me. That IS the number I am calling about!
If that's not bad phone juju, I don't know what is.
However, the reps would rather walk me through the same steps, and ask
the same mind-numbing series of questions that I've heard so many times
before.
No, it's just a box full of odd things I wonder why I bothered to keep.
Think back upon your last move.
Since my "service activation date," about every third day I end up
speaking with customer support reps.
No one ever comes to you home. I can almost hear that customer support
guy smiling just a wee bit smugly, thinking "user error.
If that's not bad phone juju, I don't know what is.
" And because I'd ordered my service online, he couldn't pull up the
order.
Case in point: once, a colony of ants moved into my telephone while I
was away for a few weeks.
I've learned that customer support reps don't take kindly to the news
that I've already turned the modem off and waited the required minute to
cycle it. No one ever comes to you home.
" But I swear to the heavens: sometimes it works and sometimes it
doesn't. It disrupts your location, routine, services, and your personal
life.
For instance, during my most recent move, when no dial tone appeared on
my stated date, I called customer service.
