Customer: Hello, I’d like to return this week.
Customer Service Rep: What?
Customer: This week. Specifically, this workweek. I’d like to return it.
CSR: What’s wrong with it?
Customer: Well, it’s broken.
CSR: What’s broken?
Customer: It’s obviously Friday, but it displays that it’s only Thursday.
CSR: But-
Customer: I mean, like 13 or 14 times now I’ve thought it was Friday, but this stupid workweek keeps saying it’s Thursday. It’s annoying.
CSR: But it is Thursday.
Customer: No!
CSR: Yes.
Customer: No! I’ve felt it in my soul that it’s Friday.
CSR: Your soul is wrong.
Customer: It’s Friday, I swear to God.
CSR: Look, do you still want to return this workweek?
Customer: Yes. Yes, I do.
CSR: Why?
Customer: Because … it’s way too long.
CSR: No. Look, I can’t give you a refund for this.
Customer: Oh, because I don’t have a receipt, right? How about store credit then?
CSR: No.
Customer: Well then, I’m gonna need to speak with your manager.
Maybe if we all call customer service and bitch it can really be Friday????? That would be great.

I’m with you Saly. Let’s start whipping out the expletives because this week it needs to be over. We need to take out a contract on it’s nasty little life. I want weekEND here NOW!!!! Week is so lame. Weekend, now that’s a candidate I can get behind.

I agree. This week has been like two weeks crammed into one. I hate this week.

ALL DAY yesterday, and even last night, I was ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that today was Friday.
Damn!

My six-year-old daughter keeps thinking it’s Friday, too! We can’t all be wrong….

I have a holiday tomorrow too! YAY state employment.
But yeah- this week has been the most unproductive work week of my life I believe.

Dude, WORD! This is the longest and most hellish week EVER! I have considered it Friday no less than THREE times today!

This is great! Made me laugh and my day so far is SUCKING MAJORLY. Also, do you have a different email address between yesterday and today?
Comment by JMC — June 19, 2008 @ 3:52 pm
JMC,
Yes and no. Both work, but it was easier to use my Gmail one today rather than opening up Comcast. Because I’m L-A-Z-Y. And Comcast has been giving me fits today.
