I LOVED Cam's teacher for kindergarten. She was the bestest teacher ever. This year, his teacher told me that he is a distraction to the rest of the class and she has to pass him no matter what (he's in special ed, but in a regular class) so it doesn't matter if he learns the material. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I'd of smacked her in the mouth for that. Seriously I don't take kindly to people saying negative things about my children. I had a friend say something quiet harsh about my children and I broke her nose...........

I am going to sign out now. I've got stuff to fdo and need to finish this review.

She and the principle and I had a very long, very heated chat after that. I refuse to speak to her unless I really have to. I'm insisting on meeting all the second grade teachers for next year. I have to make sure he will get someone who will nuture him instead of ignore him.

OMG ! ! !

I thought the lady crying was bad. The dude from New Deli was rediculous. I feel for any poor person who has to call that guy to get tech support for their internet.

I kept telling him that I could not hear his Spanish speaking cutomer and the converstation went like this:

Have you asked the customer of they have dial up or high speed access?

Yes, and again sir, I cannot hear your customer at all. I get no response.

Have you asked the customer of they have dial up or high speed access?

Yes, and again sir, I cannot hear your customer at all. I get no response.

Have you asked the customer of they have dial up or high speed access?

Yes, and again sir, I cannot hear your customer at all. I get no response.

Have you asked the customer of they have dial up or high speed access?

Sir, I am concerned that we have a miscommunication. I have no idea if your customer is even on the line at this time. I hear nothing. I can hear YOU very well, but I cannot hear a third party on the line.

So you are telling me the customer cannot hear you?

No, I am telling you I think that there is no one else but you and I on the line!

So, they cannot hear you?

Sir, one more time, I can neither answer in the affirmative or in the negative because I have no idea what your customer can or cannot hear because I have yet to hear word one from your customer.

Please ask the customer if they have high speed or dial up.


And there was like TEN MORE MINUTES OF THIS ! ! ! ! ! :eek:

Nor do I :(

Do companies really think that they are going to garner customer loyalty by farming out their customer service to the ends of the earth?

I know, I know, that sounds so racist, right? And, please, God forgive me, because I hate the sound of these words coming from my mouth. But if companies who opperate primarily in English are going to send their customer service call centers out of the country, they should pick countries where English is the primary language and not take advantage of poor developing nations where English is not spoken just because they can then pay the employees three cents and five beans an hour!

Cogito

If the job requires effective communication with customers, than the ability to supply that communication must be a criterion of acceptance for the outsourced work. That means random calls posing as customers to ensure that quality is delivered.

Unless, of course, customer service is only being given lip service to appease stockholders or for a marketing point.

Too many company execs don't look past a year down the line. Why should they, when that is the typical turnover rate for their positions?

The flux of time resonates in an arc that comes full circle but never actually meets the starting point. The question is, are the concentric circles leading inwards, or outwards?

:p

Cogito
05-10-2008, 11:25 AM
The measurement of temporal arc radius is not fixed, but depends on the reference path.

My earlier post was an attempt to seed some ideas for a time travel story, but it seemed to dead end for me - for now anyway...

What is the rate of time propagation? If you cause a change twenty yeras in your past, how long does it take for the consequences to ripple back to your present. That woud help define the elastic conefficient for time, and in turn the energy requirements to perturb events in time.

The answer is already known - has become inherent by the future already existing. ;)

Cogito
05-10-2008, 12:10 PM
No, not by the time model I'm playing with. Future events that depend on the outcome of random current events (quantum probability)vcan change if the balance shifts in the present, but the rate at which the change propagates forward is not infinite - sort of an inertial effect.

Cogito
05-10-2008, 12:12 PM
From a story perspective, it might give a character a certain amount of time to correct a time disruption that erases the present, before the character is erased along with his world.

Cogito
05-10-2008, 01:00 PM
You know how it is - writing it down for someone else sometimes makes it clearer in your own head. Thinking of it in story terms gave me the idea of using it to set a fixed time limit for repairing a broken timeline. Not sure yet where THAT will take me, but it's a start.

That's the REAL beauty of the Word Games. :)

Gone Wishing
05-10-2008, 01:16 PM
I have the opposite problem.

I have this idea for a story - and I was really inspired by it until I wrote a brief summary of it and posted on a different forum (non-writing related site, in point of fact, but just as an exercise).

Now I can't expand on it. :confused:

Short answer: Me, :p

Convoluted answer: The three characters the story will revolve around are tricksy and resisting further development. (I have the story in a nutshell, but the nutshell is kind of pistachio sized and I want it to be at least walnut sized... ;))

Gone Wishing
05-10-2008, 01:53 PM
lol.. It's not that really - more a case of I know what I want to happen, but not how.

Plus, I'm procrastinating on getting it started because I usually have the characters fully developed before I begin - they're always my starting point and then I follow their logic in how the plot and themes develop - if that makes sense.

Agreed, but I also have beer goblets I keep in the freezer, and also have a gew covered steins that I also pre-chill. Not that I ever let it get warm or flat anyway.

I make an exception for Guinness Stout. That actually tastes best just below room temperature. Too cold, and all that comes through is the bitter character.
