RANT: Instant Messaging and/or VoiceMail

[Faceman]

I hate checking voicemail. Email me. Checking voicemail is sooooooo 20th century.

I respond to email a million times faster than a voicemail.

I have a friend who takes IM conversations and just the fact that you sign on way too seriously. If I sign on and he's on and I don't immediately say hello to him, he's deeply offended. Very annoying.

48 hours. Nice turn around on your voicemail. Makes my job a whole lot easier, and the guy that called and needed assistance really appreciate your attention.

I hope your car breaks down by the side of the road.

You don't even know what my job is, so let's not get all hot and bothered about how long it takes me to return calls. I call back and leave the answers they need when I know I won't have to talk to them and get it all drug out into a long conversations about blah blah and blah.

Don't hope that my car breaks down, because that's a very real possibility.

Someone have a bad day?

A. I didn't quote, it wasn't you. And if you knew me then you'd understand that calling me with an answer won't entail "a long conversation about blah blah and blah". My time's no less valuable than yours. And in this case I know EXACTLY what this person's job is. And she created the issue in the first place.
B. When you're a service dept, service counts.
C. 48 hrs before even LISTENING to a voicemail is unacceptable. It's a work tool. Communication is part of the job description. That's nonfeasance.
D. The person this most effects is A CUSTOMER. They pay my salary, and yours.
E. I hope TTB's car DOESN'T break down.

I return texts promptly and with humor included.

[Magneto2.0]

people still use instant messaging? that's soo 2002

Umm, not really. AIM has been back in for a while now. AIM is the new calling someone.

So in honor of you, and out of respect for you and since you took it back about my car breaking down, I want you to know that as of today I am answering my phone, and the calls I don't get that go to voicemail are getting their calls returned promptly. I am turning over a new leaf, at least for today.....

You've made me a better person. The world thanks you.

I think it's nice that you chose to personify my rant, TTB, while my sarcastic response to the actual person involved went totally over her head last week.
