I spent more than 2 hours on the phone with the help desk folks in India today.. That time gives me a deep compassion for  them and how crappy their job’s are… so .. i know I shouldn’t complain.   Can you imagine dealing with frustrated people all day (or night_  over the phone.. without really getting to know them.. .. and most often not really being able to help them..

There was a very bright side of the day, though.. I usually get  between 100 and 200 non junk emails a day.. a day and a half without emails is … Well, it’s kinda like a vacation.. i can pretend that nothing is past due.. no one is made at me.. the world is good and in balance. .    there’s no bad news in the world (though bad news can find you anyway)

Like any vacation, there’s a backlash.. as soon as my email is fixed I’ll spend two days sorting through what I missed.. then there will be the meetings and memos I missed…

but.. heck.. if they really need me.. theylll resend…

maybe I should break my email more often..

nite all, nite sam
