Once again, today, dealing with a particular tech-salesperson for over a year now who knows nothing – zip! – about his company’s products and who I can’t avoid due to the region he is assigned to cover. My management’s take on this?: Oh, yeah, we know him. He’s near retirement, so… (Translation: Yes, we know he’s senile, but you have to deal with him.)
So many versions of the same email sent to him, with each one from me progressively dumbed down and, due to the dumbing down, longer that the previous email. Romper Room explanations are not getting through. Can’t last much longer like this. Special requests to the guy’s company don’t help (maybe because I’ve held my tongue re this guy’s mind-numbing ineptitude). I don’t want him fired… but… DAMN!
I’m so close to sending this with my next email:

My wife was laid off today, which is bad. I’ve been downsized before and it sucks. We ordered Chinese food because that’s what she wanted. This is the fortune I got:
The universe is fucking with us.

Try sending emails of three sentences or less, each containing no more than one concept. No more than one subject per email, no more than one verb or action phrase per sentence.
It’s terrible that we have to do this when communicating with adults, but there are a remarkable number of gainfully employed people who need to be treated this way. Including some who are very learned, but not very adaptable.

Yay for using special characters to fool the algorithms… $ at the end of a word can do odd things.

I don’t pay much attention to celebrity news usually, so I missed this happening to a friend from secondary school a few days ago.

Oh wow! I hope she’s going to be okay. Sounds like the overall injuries were minor, but blacking out can also mean some head trauma.

The mortgage company tried to pretend that they aren’t obliged by federal law to allow assumption of an existing mortgage by one party to a divorce, and that they could force me to refinance at a higher rate, costing me an extra $24,000 over the life of the loan… It also appears that not doing assumption might make me subject to state transfer taxes to the tune of $7,500 plus, although I have a lot more painful reading of the legal code to do to work that part out.
The weird part was that after I spent hours on the phone arguing them into compliance with the law, they were basically like “OK you win, here’s the secret phone number for qualified assumption, where you’ll wait on hold over a hour because we apparently have one staff member for the whole continent” and that guy was incredibly helpful, he was like “you email me the divorce decree and your current financial docs and we’ll do this thing!”
