Scenario: Mail Deliverer Job

Me: Good day Miss.

Old lady: Good day. Do you have any mail for my husband? You see, it's his birthday today and he is quite anxious for cards. ^_~

Me: Oh, congratulations mister!

Old man: Thank you. I reached 60 today!

Random old lady: Hey, you should congratulate HER!

Me: Huh?

Random old lady: Yes, I saw you in the newspaper. Congratulations with your first book; and in English too! I said to my husband: Look, that's our maildeliverer!


I'm so not kidding. Sure, this was the short version, but still... A second old lady recognised me too; and said she finally knew my name after all these years I delivered her mail ^_^

You can find the newspaper article here. (Alas, Dutch only T_T)

I had a dream last night. For the first time in weeks, months, or maybe even a year or so, I was sad to wake up... because it was such a cool dream! It was like I was playing in a Spy Movie, and some people I know were also playing a part. Some of the girls I can't recall, but two guys... well, I think those guys are really cool. They probably think I'm plain nice, but they don't know how much I look up to them *blushes*.

ANYWAY, the dream... Btw, some collegues or mine think blogging is for people without a life. Well, I never had one, so I can blog!!

It kinda started in the middle of it all. Just walking into a building, finding out something is wrong and when wanting to investigate it, enemies suddenly attacked us. One of the gyus I look up to was on the enemy's side.
Somehow I was the only one who managed to escape, and turned around a corner. A girl yelled at me, but she had really weird hair, so somehow I thought she was a dog so I ordered her to sit down or so. But when I realised she was a girl, I apologised and explained... in FRENCH!! Last time I honestly spoke French was last year. And my French is baaad. Not in my dream; in my dream it was okayish.
So, I escaped, but stupid me wanted to return and help my friends. Why? Why do I keep on being so stupid? So I returned, and found out all were brainwashed.
So, what happens to a girl in enemy territory? Well, of course I was captured and they tried to brainwash me too. Only problem was that they had to 'install' some sort of list with questions or it to succeed... and one question didn't want to get installed! The question was: "Is *enemy cool guy* ever going to be nice?" (Note: Cool guy IS nice; we just fool around a lot XP)
Somehow, that one question caused a huge error in my brain, causing me to very ill. Someone even called me a Female Micheal Jackson (What the??! Where did THAT come from?! I don't even care about the guy!); I looked that bad appearantly to that person.
The second cool guy came to rescue me, overhearing they wanted to kill me, but how no idea how to help me now my brain had been messed up like that.
The door opened...

AND I WOKE UP AGAIN T_T Aah! Now I don't know how it ends! I want to know how it ends!

And why the heck did those 2 guys appear XD? Oi.

But at least it was a cool dream. I hope it will continue tonight XD

Customer Service by phone... how lovely...

Customer Service Employee: I'm sorry sir, I'm afraid I didn't understand the question... do you want me to send you the information about your account?

*silence*

Customer: Are you even Dutch??!

Customer Service Employee: .... Yes, I am, and I do not appreciate such remarks, sir!

Customer: *without listening* I want you to do *this and that!*

Customer Service Employee: I'm sorry sir, that is something I cannot do. I can only send your password to the e-mail you registered with, not some random e-mailadress.

Customer: Well, I see *name of company* doesn't want to sell! Good day! *hangs up*


Guess which of the 2 I was! Honestly, never before had I been insulted on this way. I have a flipping Dutch first name, with a flipping Dutch surname, and speak Dutch without any noticeable accent! And you ask me if I'm even Dutch just because YOU can't phrase a question right??!

What an ass. Even my teamleader agreed on that. What an ass. And most likely a racist as well; I mean, what kind of a question was THAT?! I didn't understood something, so that must mean I'm not Dutch which must mean I''m stupid? HELLO??! What kind of crap is THAT?!

My collegues even said I should have called him back, to make clear that he should show some respect to humans in general! I may be a Customer Service Employee, but that doesn't mean you are allowed to treat me like crap!


I hope all his orders get cancelled due to the fact he's an ass. Because that's what he was.
