So, like I said in the last post, the stupid is really winning the battle around the office this week, thanks in large part to that gigantic mail out I mentioned. Apparently receiving a certified letter from a company you routinely do business with creates confusion on a near heart attack inducing level.
Things I have actually said over the phone to customers regarding this letter:
“No really, EVERYONE got one.”
“No, it isn’t an overdue bill.”
“No, it does not mean you are being sued.”
“No, it does not mean WE are being sued.”
“Did you actually read the letter?”
Mass hysteria the likes of which I’ve never seen and I was at the release party for Breaking Dawn people!
Now, here’s the frustrating part of this situation…as a blogger I want to talk about it to you, my readers, but I don’t want to give away too much about the industry in which I am currently working. I also don’t want to get to whiny or rant-y because I know you hate it as much as I do. *coughcouchhinthintRobertcough*
And let’s face it, for the most part:

And let’s face it, for the most part:
So let’s see if I can effectively sum up this situation in under oh….50 words.We sent a computer generated form letter via certified mail to ALL our customers explaining that if they perform a specific modification to any items they purchase from us which are still under their original factory warranty they will immediately void the warranty for that item.
Forty six words. I win.
The letter is concise and uncomplicated. Hell, they didn’t even use any ‘legal lingo’ in the thing! And yet the phone calls keep coming!!!
In other un-work-related news my bathroom renovation is still not complete. (My God! Could my life be more riveting than it is at this moment? I think not!) The job, which was supposed to take ‘two days at most,’ has now stretched itself out to over two weeks. Way to procrastinate, Apartment Complex Maintenance Guy!
And speaking of you, ACMGuy, what’s the deal with Bogarting an entire roll of my toilet paper? Huh? What is that about???
What else can I tell you about that is completely unrelated and totally off topic?

There were more questions on it but they were even more boring than these so I deleted them. Feel special. See how much I value you? I delete crap on your behalf cause I’m awesome like that.
And that, my lovelies, is that!
