Two cents worth of yarn

Customer service is dead.   Cremated by its agents.   Damped over the customers’ expectations. Recently I needed client giveaways.   Urgently.   I called someone who gave me a number for a firm that deals in exactly what I wanted.   I made the call.   And explained what I needed.   I was asked to hold on, and be transferred to the person who could help me.   I talked to a madams.   Lets call her Jean. Jean told me she could send me a catalogue immediately, and I gave her my email address. I waited and waited.   Meanwhile, because I never put all my eggs in one basket, and a bird in the hand is worth two in someones else' office, I called a couple more numbers and got a look see. Twenty four hours later [oh how my patience has grown], I called the firm and asked to speak to June.   I was informed by the person at the other end of the phone that Jean was out, but they would pass on the message.   I impressed ...

Lie back in contentment

I know I am smart.   I can figure out things quite quickly.   And see opportunities clearly. I am brave.   Fearless.   I go for the opportunities.   And I can take on anything and anyone at any time.   I am confident of my prowess and outcomes in situations.   In all that I do, I am first-rate.   And my determination?   Unoutclassable.   Through thick and thin, I get there. I look good.     Actually really fine.   I cut a handsome figure. Which is what makes me think that I can be something more than I am right now. Words running idly in my head as I crisscross the township roads getting my shughulis done. I know I do not know everything.   But I know, I know enough.   To get to where I am going. I know that one day, I will marvel at my journey and be really glad of who I am.   Those around me will be glad too.   They will wonder how it happened, but I will tell them...
