And Now, Weezer Rocks the Moon: Back to the Shack
Ric Ocasek is back in the producer’s chair for Weezer’s latest, and it sounds absolutely great. This tune is a mission statement if there ever was one.

re: #7 Vicious Piebola
I’m sorry that your call is on hold. Your business with us is extremely important. Due to the heavy volume of calls, our current wait time is 66:66:66.
Then again, if your call was a real emergency (to us), we’d have hired more people to take the calls, but since yours is only a minor inconvenience to your credit rating and will eventually enrich us, we just don’t see the point in parting with our profits unless the government, shareholders, or courts require it.

Only took 45 minutes
You’re WAY OVER YOUR SERVICE LEVEL BOFA
13 | Vicious Piebola Oct 19, 2014 6:00:02pm |
Why yes I work at a call center calculating service levels.
14 | Vicious Piebola Oct 19, 2014 6:00:55pm |
Tomorrow I’m going to run my own program to see how we compare to BOFA for hold times and response times.

Or Eine kleine Nachtmusik performed underwater.
The Tennessee Dept. of Safety (Drivers Licenses) has hold music that I swear sounds like an old cassette tape, complete with heavy wow and flutter. (imagine 4th generation copy on Radio Shack bargain cassettes, having sat on the dashboard of the car on a hot day)

Just got off the phone with my ISP’s tech support and it is NOT MY MODEM!
The tech guy said “omg! You’ve had 400+ dropouts in the last 14 days.”
I said “tell me I didn’t know that!” (but I laughed and was very polite).
Anyway…a tech guy will show up tomorrow to check the actual physical phone lines between my house and the node.
Yay for me!

re: #18 Backwoods_Sleuth
At least they did not give you the run around like Verizon did when I asked for some information to set up the modem I bought. After a 3 way conference call involving the manufacturer (Netgear), me and Verizon I got the info I needed and now I have a modem that really works.
