Well, I have just done something stupid....

As some of you know I do tech support for a national isp...well I had a customer on the phone and had her on hold and was dealing with some of the idiots around here....when I got back to her I was giving her some directions for her modem....and said the fucken word on the phone...i apologised profusely, but still shit...she said it was ok...but still...that is grounds for immediate dismissal....if they hear that call...I am just so shocked and horrified and bloody scare...fuck....just when I was about to get my insurance again...ao I can start back on my pills..sorrry...for all of this....

Amergin-- Let's all keep our collective fingers crossed, light lots of candles and say lots of prayers.

Just one good reason to delete that (and other) words from your spoken vocabulary. I think them (!) but don't say them out loud often.

Put a rubber band around your wrist and every time you say the words, snap yourself. It will work.

Amergin, if they do hear it and they listen, they will hear your profuse apology and her reassurance. I am sure you've been doing a god job and that should also be taken into account. I have every confidence that you will be alright and I am giving thanks that this is so. Take some deep breaths and blow out all of the fear and self-recimination, sweetie. We are all human and stuff like that happens sometimes.

I *see* you surrounded by a big bubble of positive Light energy, extending to include your employers and co-workers, and everyone else you come into contact with, filled with harmony and understanding. When the fear comes up, say "Thanks, but NO thanks!" Then replace it with a positive image, such as above and give thanks.

Go fuck yourself. You might con these bedwetters with that line of crap, but I would fire you in a heartbeat. How professional did you sound? Did you think that customer was just on the phone for fun? You are the type of scumbag phone-monkey I would like to strangle, get a job where you can just stick a finger up your butt for eight hours and be done with it.

I'm not a bedwetter. I'm just fallible, so I know how he feels.

Glad I could be of help, you know, to get the kids pointed in the right direction. As usual, thanks for the "warm fuzzies" y'all!

I was just thinking, Davecoje, considering you just called an entire thread of people 'bedwetters', that public relations isn't one of your strong points.

He probably hopes to sell a lot of rubber sheets. Wrong website, Dave. The Golden Showers Award is not that literal in case you hadn't noticed.

Gosh, that hurt! Damn, you folks really know how to hit a guy that down on his luck. As a former step-parent, I was just trying to create a positive dialog and help the little capitalist keep his gig. I know the importance and prestigue of reliable phone support. Without wing-dings like this slacker, the whole nation would fold-up like a house of cards. Don't make me lie!

Oh, bullshit, Dave. It didn't work last time around and it isn't going to work this time around. Remember that PM you sent me? I won't repeat in here because it was private, but keep in mind your own words.....

There was another person involved then and that person is still active here, so stuff your smart remarks, OK? I am out of this thread, next message will be PM.

Funny, never been called a capitalist before...never thought I would be either...rather odd....I suppose, Dave, you have never been called a sexual deviant before, either...or have you?

Carol, Charlie, Kat, Scorch, thank you all for your support...it's been rough today...but I made it through...whew....take care!
