Well, you've read the notes, you wore pantyhose and a peignoir whilst reading the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're still in their pantyhose and peignoirs, but will be putting on their traveling attire soon.

I came home last night and had three-hour sleep. So I hope I’d have a good long sleep tonight.

I appreciate dear BK’s perfect and sweetest hospitality during my stay in Los Angeles, California, USA. He took me everywhere I’d wished go and see, and to many places where are significant on Benjamin Kritzer’s life, and also he had me meet many his beautiful friends, like DR Pogue and The Lovely Wife, Julieanne. He spent a lot of time with me (as all dear readers already know it in the notes), though he’d been quite busy for his many works. I had a memorable trip, thank you, dear BK.

Would like to add some my LA trip photos to the ones dear BK has already posted so far.

After the Courts show; dear BK, me, DR Pogue.
I met DR Pogue for the first time there at the show and he was nice. Thank you, DR Pogue, for the post about my gift and glad you liked it.

Just me and Hisaka all alone.  Glad you got home safe, Hisaka!  It was lovely to meet you and I hope BK showed you a good time as only BK can.  Though he was exhausted I bet you were too.  He can exhaust a person, I know!

A good picture of the three of us!

Hisaka was the perfect visitor, and even though I was exhausted (which had little to do with her and a lot to do with lack of sleep), I had a wonderful time escorting her about town.  She is a sweet and beautiful lady.

Just watched a Hitch episode (number five) called Into Thin Air.  Anyone who has seen Flightplan and thinks that ridiculous plot is ORIGINAL, will see the light.  Into Thin Air is from the same story that So Long At the Fair, a Brit film, is from.  Also using the same idea - The Lady Vanishes (apparently Flightplan uses the same device of someone having written something on the window of the plane - same as Mrs. Froy on the train in TLV).  Also using the same idea - Bunny Lake is Missing.

These Hitch intros and outros have me on the floor.

Interestingly, the El Rey looks exactly as it did when it was a movie theater - the theater where Benjamin Kritzer first saw Psycho - the line was two blocks long for the first showing.

The Wiltern looks the same outside - beautifully preserved.  However, inside the auditorium, there are no seats (the balcony has seats, but not the main auditorium) - that is just too too annoying.

I must say Hisaka has magical fingers.  We were in the car driving somewhere, and my neck was just in crazy pain, and she rubbed the pain right out with her potent thumbs.

Hisaka took a LOT of photographs.  I wonder if she'll post the one where she's eating the Du-Par's pancakes.  That's what I'M talkin' about.

I'm currently doing the Lambada (The Forbidden Dance) - and yes, Virginia, I'm wearing pantyhose and a peignoir whilst doing so.

Hisaka is scratching her head trying to figure out what the HELL I'm talking about.

There is also a nifty little paperback thriller called THIN AIR by a wonderful writer called Howard Browne.  Flightplan seems to echo some of it (though the person who disappears is not on a plane).  It was used for a plot twice on a couple of Stephen Cannell shows.  Browne wrote some excellent mysteries under the name John Evans (later reprinted under his own name) featuring detective Paul Pine.

BK introduced me to the Dolores burger and the infamous Z sauce a few weeks ago.  While different, I confess to not being as enamoured of it as BK is.  And the fries don't stand up to Bird's onion rings.

Well, I let The Lovely Wife know you were heavily hinting (no subtlety at all) that you wanted someone to join you at the now-open-all-night Du-pars for pancakes!  And as tempting  as those pancakes look in that picture, The Lovely Wife just wearily shook her head, "No."   Alas, alack!  There was a time, before we became geezers, that we were wild and spontaneous and always hungry in the wee hours!
Title: Re:PANTYHOSE AND A PEIGNOIR
Post by: bk on October 07, 2005, 01:22:03 AM
Yes, we were both very full, but ten minutes later there were no pancakes left.

My favorite pancake thing: The plate was in the center of the table for us to share.  Hisaka took the first bite, and her face lit up like a Christmas tree, and then she got a devilish look in her eye and slid the plate directly in front of her.

Oh, well - no pancakes.  Tell Julieanne that she is a WUSSBURGER.  I miss the old adventurous days of snatch breakfasts and late-night wacky meals.

Good morning, all!  Four pages at 6:30 am?  Oy!

I am already excited about the 2006 advent of DRTomovoz.  So far, it's the only item on my 2006 calendar, but it's an EVENT.

TOD:
   DVD:  Cinderella
   CD:  Susan Egan Coffee House, Stages, The Mines of Sulphur
   VCR:  cheap porn

It turns out through a fluke that I inadvertantly bought two DVDs of THE TURNING POINT for my goddaughter, who's ballet teacher is Lelie Brown.  Would any DR like a copy of THE TURNING POINT with Miss MacLaine and Bancroft?

What a morning surprise!!! Page 4 and it's not even 7:15. I have to admit I thought it was a mistake. The board has been misbehaving in the early morning and I thought that somehow a post had been repeated and posted about 99 times in a row x ;D

Last night Jose said:

We couldn't remember where the Chelsea location of Emack & Bolio's was.  But at least we got some good walking in.

It's at Seventh Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets on the west side of the street next to the apartment building two storefronts down from the Papaya King.

Listening to CD Masters on BBC 3 right now as I attack the end of the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Thanks for the pictures Hisaka. I felt like I was in California. Perhaps you can book your trip to coincide with Tom's and we will have another big fall celebration in 2006.

Time to return to work.

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed Fiddler last night.  I must be very tired because I cried like a baby when he said goodbye at the train station and then again when his other daughter came to see him after marrying the guy.

Rosie sang Jewish with a Brooklyn accent (if that's possible) but I really liked her.

I should be back in town in late after noon if anyone wants to do dinner.

I called the Super Shuttle to confirm my pick up time--It's 4:30 PM tomorrow afternoon.  Wow, is my trip really almost over?

Have a good and SAFE day all.

It's a photo feast!  First the New York contingent's glut of swell photos!  And now Hisaka's great photos.  Bring 'em on!  By the by, who's incognito behind those Foster Grants?  Do they still make Foster Grants?

Love those photos!  
Hisaka's journey through pictures actually MAKES me want to go to L.A.! (a city I really had no interest in seeing)
As for the HHW contingent & tour of NYC, well, it's so damned bittersweet, as I may not make it to NYC over Thanksgiving weekend as originally planned. . .still, where there's a will there's a way.

And for the TOD:
cd:  THE WILDLIFE CONCERT John Denver
dvd:  GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS
SHE-WOLF OF LONDON
vcr:  a production of EVERYMAN in which I played the character of "God;'  I have two tapes of this, one done by a friend of mine, the other done by the director himself.  Opening sequence is fun, as I got to chose the music for the prologue, and it was the instrumental opening to BLOOD BROTHERS.

Next, I think all the HHW-ers should travel East to Pittsburgh, just voted (once again) the US' most livable city.

I spoke to my mother last night, she said she saw us on the Today Show! I think her exact quote was "I used to say look at all those idiots smiling and waving for the cameras....and there you were" It was said in jest and taken as such.  She hates Katie Couric, so for her to sit through the entire show to see us, meant she was really watching for us.

Man Uses T-Shirt to Aid Birth in Subway
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- A high school history teacher took the T-shirt off his back to catch a premature baby as a woman pregnant with triplets gave birth in a subway stairwell.

Lanitta Lewis, 30, was on her way to a doctor's appointment Monday when she felt the first birth pains and called out for help. She was largely ignored by commuters in the Bay Area Rapid Transit station until Biko Eisen-Martin took notice.
Eisen-Martin, on a break from Berkeley High, ran to a nearby cafe to call an ambulance and returned in time with his T-shirt to catch a 3-pound girl, he said. Paramedics rushed the baby to Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland.

The other two girls were delivered by Caesarean section at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley. The first baby was reunited with her younger siblings at Alta Bates Summit and they were attached to feeding tubes but listed in good condition Wednesday, hospital officials said.

Then there those who are never satisifed:

But at Penn Station during the start of morning rush hour, some subway riders commented on a lack of visible police presence and said no one had searched their bags.

More on 911 from cell phones:

Quote
But what happens when you call 911 from your cell phone is not the same as when you call from a landline phone. All 911 phone calls from cell phones are forwarded to the California Highway Patrol dispatch center, which receive more than 6 million calls a year statewide, up from 29,000 in 1998. As a result what will happen most often is that the caller will be greeted with a recorded message saying all operators are busy. Once you do manage to get through you will need to convey all of the information related to the emergency you are reporting, then you will be transferred to the appropriate local dispatch center, where you will be requested to repeat all of the emergency information again. All of this takes time, too much time.

This from  Stanford Univesity Fire Marshall (http://www.stanford.edu/dept/EHS/prod/training/resource/911Alt_Phone.pdf#search='Cell%20Phone%20911%20CA').

Conclusion - best to run to the corner Deli!

I find most of Elvis' 60s movies pretty unwatchable with the exceptions of BLUE HAWAII and VIVA LAS VEGAS, and I guess it's because of Lansbury and Ann-Margret. The songs are very good in those films, too.

"What has happened to customer service at Amazon.com?

"On Wednesday (10/5) and Thursday (10/6) I wrote to you concerning the following:

[Order Date: August 29, 2005
Order #: 102-2857040-4633723
Recipient: Ron Pulliam  
Items not yet shipped:
 Delivery estimate: October 10, 2005 1 of: Cinderella (Disney Special Platinum Edition) ]

"Notice the order date and the 'Items Not Yet Shipped' notation.

"This was a 2nd-day-delivery ship-as-item-is-available order.

"A PRE-order.

"You had this item in stock on Tuesday, 10/4!

"When I wrote you yesterday, the listing for this item had a note telling customers that if they ordered within the next 4 hours and so many minutes, they could have it by today, 10/7.

"Yet...please NOTE...my pre-ordered 2nd-day-delivery ship-as-item-is-available order HAS NOT YET SHIPPED.

"There was a time when Amazon.com, upon becoming aware of such a problem, would have moved heaven and earth to rectify it.

"I didn't require a response.  A visit to my account seeing "Item SHIPPED" would have been sufficient.  On Wednesday.  On Thursday.  Even today (Friday).

"But NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

"IS ANYBODY THERE.  And most importantly: DOES ANYBODY CARE?

"I'm truly shocked and amazed and disappointed!"

Can you spell DISGUSTED?

M-O-O-N, that spells DISGUSTED!

I'm supposed to be done by 4:00.  However, it looks like I may be heading out to dinner with some of my "new" Damn Yankees' cast mates around 5:00.  No definite meeting place has been decided upon yet, but once I get word...

-And I'm still waiting to hear back from Amanda about tix for tonight.  I'll make some phone calls and call you back.

-Did you remember your cell phone today?

I did, indeed!

Give me a call once you find something out. I'll probably risk my life and head back to my apartment after work, so I'll need at least an hour's notice if I need to be in Union Square, just to allow a few extra minutes for any cavity...um....bag searches. If you can't get tickets and would like to see a movie or something instead, that's cool, too. Or not...I'm just goin' with the flow today.  :)

Nope, not me. That's why I have some exercise equipment inside the house - for convenience sake when it IS too hot, too rainy, too cold, etc.

I believe in exercise, but there is no need to make it torturous. That's the quickest way for me to lose interest. No masochist here!  :D

I've found either a) asking them to forward your message to their supervisor or b) continually responding to them no matter what lame form letter they give, usually helps.  Eventually you will get the answer you need.

So did they finally respond to you (i missed that part?).  If they didn't write back with 24 hours i would write again. Or do what BK did and call. I'm sure calling helps.

I know that all these internet places must get tons of emails. But they must realize how obnoxious it is for customers to receive form letters. Especially ones that barely even relate to the topic originally mentioned.

Sometimes, their prices are better than Amazon's (as with CINDERELLA at Circuit City this week). Sometimes not, especially with boxed sets and if you consider local sales tax and gas to the stores added in. With Amazon, there's no sales tax and free shipping with certain amounts or for PRIME customers.

I am fortunate to have the time to shop around for the most reasonable price, and that's what I do.

I understand others don't have this luxury and do what they have to do.

I'm back in rainy Salem, Oregon! Got back to the home environment around 2 am and it was good to see Freddy again, but I miss New York and all the wonderful DRs that I met whilst I was there! I had such a fantastic time while I was there and I have to especially thank Elmore3003, Rodzinski, and TPunk for providing shelter and pretty much taking care of me and making sure I had a safe and fun trip in the big Apple! And JoseP for taking so much time to show me around (how will I ever forget the Condom Store! )...four of the finest people I have ever met and I really appreciate all you guys putting up with me and helping make this a trip to remember!

And to all the other DRs I met along the way during my NY stay...holy cow, what did I ever do to earn such good karma that I should get to meet and hang out with such a wonderful group of people!!!!

Ok, I have 3 days worth of posts to catch up on and then I shall return later today!!

Media check:

DVD: Still catching up with Desperate Housewives.

Car CD Player: (actually from our trip up and back)
   Sondheim "Scrabble" album.  (Der B hadn't realized how early in the ouvre this was recorded.)
   A couple of tracks from Steel Pier.
   Brent Barrett: The Kander and Ebb Album.  (Great work by Elmore!)
   3hree, OCR.  (And then we tried to figure out why it never went to NYC.  Maybe it could have worked off-Broadway.  But would New Yawkers be able to accept Prince on off-Broadway?   :-\)
   A few tracks from the Peter Pan collection.  But der B wasn't really in the mood for that.
   Stephen Schwartz's Reluctant Pilgrim.  We decided that, if a body of work had to be defined by one word, Schwartz would best be defined by "Belief."  It's like Sondheim can be defined by "Duality," much more than "Ambivilance."  (Hey, it was nearly three in the morning before we got home, conversations can get highly philosophical and strange at that hour in the dark in the car.)

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

On the local news last night, they ran a story on an amazing new piece of software that run on cell phones with digital cameras.  If you want to buy something in, say, Best Buy and you wonder if you can get it cheaper elsewhere, you take a picture of the bar code and e-mail it to the software company.  They immediately send back a list of other stores with price comparisons for the item.  They even provide driving directions to the other stores listed and, if the item is on sale on-line, allow you to click to the item on the site so you can purchase it immediately.

Here's a link    (http://www.nbc10.com/consumeralert/5066479/detail.html) to the story.

I know that all these internet places must get tons of emails. But they must realize how obnoxious it is for customers to receive form letters. Especially ones that barely even relate to the topic originally mentioned.

OK...as a customer service representative myself, I'm going to take my life in my own hands and stand up for the poor folks who actually have to READ those 2 million pissy emails that everyone sends when they don't get what they want when they want it.

Sometimes things don't ship out. Sometimes there's a delay at the warehouse. Sometimes there's an unexpected delay in the receipt of the goods, therefore preventing turnaround and shipment of goods to the consumer. Sometimes the stock just isn't there. Is there a kink in the system? Apparently so, but is that a reason to send an email, write a letter or make a phone call every day (or, in some of my customer's cases, every hour)? No. The customer service rep to whom you are writing cannot walk to the shelf, pull down a copy of whatever it is you want, pack it up and ship it out. All we can do is check into your account, do what we can to speed up the process and pass your concerns on to the appropriate management. One email is sufficient. And I can tell you this from experience - the more emails you send and the more terse they are, the less likely you are to receive 1) a personal response or 2) what you want any faster. If I get nasty or multiple emails from the same person, they tend to get filed in the circular file, AKA the trash can.

Ron, I understand that you are frustrated and pissed off that you didn't get what you ordered when you were supposed to. Don't take it out on the customer reps. You want to give a dig to Amazon.com? Cancel the order and drive yourself to WalMart or Target or any other retail store and buy the DVD there. Take your business elsewhere - that's the only way you'll make any difference, and you'll get the face-to-face customer service that you desire/require. In these situations it is also helpful to remember that the items you're waiting for are not medicines or human organs - you can survive another day or two without them. Take a breath. Cancel the order. Buy it at Suncoast.

Cancel the order. Buy it at Suncoast.

I am certain, Jason, that you are not one of those two million customer service reps who get complaints such as mine and do nothing about them.  

The still-existing concept of "customer satisfaction" implies that a customer who has done all the things required of him by the store -- filled in all the blanks, provided all the information, dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's, and paid in advance -- should have the benefit of prompt, efficient and, if also paid for, expedient service.

I understand that all customers are not always right.  But quite often they ARE right.  If it's the store's fault, the store should make every effort to correct he problem promptly.

Further, when a customer has a long-standing history as an excellent customer , it behooves that store to make every effort to correct any problem for which IT -- the store -- has been negligent.

It's an age-old concept...and it's a good concept.

First off, no one at Amazon.com has come close to seeing me get "pissy"...not yet, anyway.  

Second.  As I wrote in my note to amazon, they HAVE THE ITEM IN STOCK.  They were offering one-day delivery on it yesterday.  

Third: Why would anonymous customer service reps take any of my frustrations personally?  I'm not blaming THEM for anything.  There is a glitch in Amazon's system and it needs to be corrected.  I wasn't profane.  I was direct.  I stated the facts.  If they get upset, it might be because they have no way of dealing with customer issues and are, themselves, frustrated.  I see them as the first line...address the problem to them and then they send it on to someone who can fix it.  But since THEY are the only ones I can communicate with, they unfortunately hear about it when the problem still isn't fixed.  Nobody said it's fair, but it's NEVER personal.

I wrote them THREE DAYS IN A ROW and nothing has changed that I can discern.  No effort has been made to fill my order so far as the information available on my account page reveals...but as Matt said, if he ordered it Tuesday, he'd have had it by now.

I ordered it August 29th and it hasn't shipped yet.

I also paid up front for prime member service and I think that deserves some attention.

Fourth: I don't want to buy it any place else BECAUSE I've invested in prime membership at Amazon.  It's fiscally irresponsible for me to buy it elsewhere.  

Fifth:  I'll be frustrated and disgusted and pissy if I want to.

:D

If an online store has a customer service e-mail department, then that department should be courteous and answer the simple questions that are posed to them - if they can't answer them, they should provide the telephone number for customer support and recommend that the customer speaks with someone who actually can help them.  It's much worse for amazon advantage sellers like Kritzerland.  When they screwup, you can only deal with the via e-mail - although I finally, in frustration, called their corporate offices and at least got my complaint forwarded directly to someone who could do something about it.  I do find their phone support to be helpful, and a little faux pas on their part was fixed quickly the other day.  Customer support is 800 201-7575.  Don't use any of the voice mail options - just wait for someone to come on the line.

DR Jason,  

I understand exactly what you go through as well.  We are the closing attorneys for  more than two dozen lenders, and  as such, we get all the calls from attorneys, clients, mortgage brokers etc who want to close their loans.

However until the Lender tells me they have reviewed all the underwritng conditions  aqnd agree to send me the paper paperwork and most importantly, wire me the money, no closing can be held

I have had attorneys (who should know better)  threaten to report our firm to the Bar Association for refusing  to close a loan when they want it closed.

I have mortgage brokers who think that the moment a 20 page document finishes scanning through their fax machine that the closing can be set , completely ignoring the fact that the papers must be read , reviewed and approved by somebody in the lender's underwriting department.

They ignore the fact that these are national lenders and the underwriters have hundreds of loans and they are not spending all their time on that one loan.

And they seem to think I have a personal relationship with all these thousands of underwriters in all these out of state offices and that I can call them and get them to  "do me a favor" and move their loan to the top of the stack

So I do feel and share in your frustration!!

As we commented on our walk to the restaurant, what with the high rents in NYC driving everyone out of business, it might be easier if the entire city just went on line and closed up their actual stores.

Only that makes it hell to browse effectively.   :P

"If I'm going to make a mistake you can rest assured it is on the side of being cautious," Bloomberg said at a news conference, flanked by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. But he stressed that he did not think that any mistake had been made.

"We did exactly the right thing," Kelly said.

His remarks came after authorities briefly closed part of Penn Station and commuters headed to work under the watchful eyes of police.

A discarded soda bottle filled with an unidentified green liquid was found at the station during morning rush hour, Amtrak officials said. Kelly said it was a type of drain-cleaner substance.

A majority of the station was reopened by about 10:45 a.m., more than an hour after it was closed.

Officials in New York revealed the threat Thursday, saying an FBI source warned that terrorists had plotted to bomb the subway in coming days. But Homeland Security officials in Washington downplayed the threat, saying it's of "doubtful credibility."

Considering the Fed's reation toa Security Memo with a title to the effect of "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike Inside the US", I must say I prefer Bloomie's approach

I have to admit I am a bit confused and apprehensive right now about the whole situation.  But I do feel safer that there is a visible and plain-clothes presence throughout the transit system.

Post by: Jennifer on October 07, 2005, 10:43:27 AM
DR Jason, the difference between you and the customer service reps at amazon.com is that you probably actually send emails back that contain the information required.

If I place an order and someone emails me explaining why it is delayed I have no problem with that.

But from my experience at amazon, they send form letters that do not address the issues at all. That is what my complaint is really about.

And DR RonP, that is really odd that you did not get a response.  I've gotten a response to every email i've ever sent to amazon.com.  Although maybe DR Jason was correct, cause if you sent the email that was anything like what you wrote, I would be too scared to respond if I was them. :)

Usually I bite my tongue while writing the email.  And while I often have the desire to be witty, mean and/or sarcastic, I usually end up being sweet and polite.  And eventually I get an answer.  Although with so many customers and so much room for potential problems I am sure they are overwhelmed with complaints.

Do what BK suggested and call them, especially if they are not answering. Or just cancel that order and place a new one. Obviously there is a glitch in the pre-ordering system.

First off, no one at Amazon.com has come close to seeing me get "pissy"...not yet, anyway.

Second.  As I wrote in my note to amazon, they HAVE THE ITEM IN STOCK.  They were offering one-day delivery on it yesterday.  

Third: Why on earth would anonymous customer service reps take any of my frustrations personally?  I'm not blaming THEM for anything.  There is a glitch in Amazon's system and it needs to be corrected.  

I wrote them THREE DAYS IN A ROW and nothing has changed.  No effort has been made to fill my order...but as Matt said, if he ordered it Tuesday, he'd have had it by now.

I ordered it August 29th and it hasn't shipped yet.

I also paid up front for prime member service and I think that deserves some attention.

Fourth: I don't want to buy it any place else.  

Fifth:  I'll be frustrated and disgusted and pissy if I want to.

:D

Ron, I wouldn't dream of telling you not to be frustrated, disgusted or pissy. I'd like to see someone try to stop you from being any of those things. :) I'm just giving you a different way to look at the situation.

If I had received the email that you sent to Amazon.com, I imagine it would have gone straight to the bottom of my to-do pile for a later date. Or I'd have thrown it away. Jennifer said she'd write a letter if she hadn't heard back from them in 24 hours. Well, as someone who works for a MUCH smaller company than Amazon.com, I can tell you that it is sometimes difficult for ME to get back to a customer in less than 48 hours, and I'm a very fast, diligent worker. Everyone wants everything immediately - or sooner if possible. Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that everyone - priority customers included - has to wait from time to time. If you really wanted the movie that badly, I suspect you'd have it by now by some other means. Why you "don't want to buy it any place else" is beyond me. You feel they're giving you bad service, so why patronize their company any further?

As to why an anonymous customer rep would take your emails personally...well...I'll send you 500 copies of your email every day and you can get back to me on how it feels. We (the reps) are the scapegoats for everyone out there who feels slighted, wronged or jipped. It gets old real quick, and even though it's our job to help people, there's only so much a rep can do. I'm happy to do what I can for any of my customers who are willing to treat me with the respect and regard that they expect from me, but I can't perform miracles.

On behalf of all the customer service representatives in the world, I apologize for the service you have received at Amazon.com. On my own behalf as a fellow human being and as your friend, I apologize for your problems with Amazon.com and hope that you understand where I'm coming from - I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm not trying to put anyone in their place as some have tried to do and I'm not defending Amazon.com for their delivery issues. I'm just worried that you seem to be so angry over such a relatively insignificant problem. It will work itself out in the end and everything will be right with the world until the next DVD doesn't ship out on time. Or until the next time someone threatens to blow us up on our ways home. It's all in how you look at things.

Oh... As far as Amazon.com's lack of response...  Does anyone know just how many customer service reps they have now?  With millions of potential customers, and thousands upon thousands of potential problems, I just have to wonder how well-equipped they are to handle customer service requests.  And has Amazon.com made an actual profit yet?  -I remember reading early on how they were doing great business, but due to the scope of their business, it was going to take them years to finally break even on their initial start-up investment.
Title: Re:PANTYHOSE AND A PEIGNOIR
Post by: Jennifer on October 07, 2005, 10:50:42 AM
And DRs Jason and Vixmon, I'm sure that you guys have many customers who make ridiculous requests.  But DR RonP and myself would surely not fall into that category. :)

I really do like amazon.com.  But I have had to email them quite a few times.  In fact last Christmas I placed an order weeks in advance and was told that the item had to ship by Day X in order for it to arrive before Christmas.  Well this was a very important gift, and i ordered it at least a week before Day X.  Well they waited and waited to ship it.  I inquired a couple days before Day X and it had still not gone out.  Well Day X passed and my item still showed as not shipped (I believe the response i got from them was not to worry since Day X had not gone by yet).

Well I was not too amused since I had made them aware of the situation days in advance.  And similar to DR RonP's dilemna, there was a glitch in the system and my order was stuck in "warehouse".

After a few more emails, they did something extremely odd.  They sent out my item 4 times. Once by one day, once by two day, once by three day shipping.  Just to make sure it arrived before Christmas.  It was totally bizarre. And i suppose they were trying to be helpful.  But my gosh it seemed odd. :)

As I noted in my THIRD e-mail, I had written them three times.  Today was the first time I was mad and pissy (as Jason refers to it).

When you post a customer comment, the screen puts up an advisory that Amazon.com does not reply to your comments, but will take immediate action on them.

That doesn't mean they're going to do anything, apparently, to rectify the problem at hand.  It has been three days since they were nicely alerted to the problem and nothing has been done about it.

Actually, my post today was sent in hopes of irritating someone enough to actually reply.

I understand, DRJASON, but what is a customer supposed to do when he sends an URGENT email and gets NO response at all?  Wait...and wait...and wait?  Reps should also understand that customers send emails because there is a problem with the service (usually, although sometimes it is their fault, too)  or a situation as arisen that needs attention.  And it is NOT always the customer's fault.

But it is the old "us against them" mentality that always surfaces - and there are TWO sides to EVERY story.  Even though MY side is the side that should be  dealt with first.

I understand why DR RLP won't go buy the DVD someplace else - he paid EXTRA for a special service and he followed the rules (that Amazon.com set up) to get his product.  Why should he be inconvenienced?

Oh well.  I have been on BOTH sides of the situation.

Well..  I'm guessing Amazon.com's customer service "ratio" is somewhat similar to Microsoft, Citibank, etc...

Let's say you have 10,000 customer service reps.  Potentially millions of customers.  One item happens to be out of stock.  100,000 people ordered it..  Each of those customers sends an e-mail...  And then there's another item that does not ship to another 100,000 customers... And so on and so on...  You do math.

I'm not saying that justifies anything, but when you're one company dealing with millions of customers, there's bound to be a problem or two.. or thousand each day.

Oh well.  I have been on BOTH sides of the situation.  

I'm sure that there are 1000 possible reasons why Amazon.com has not contacted DR Ron in response to his emails. My first thought is that they're incredibly busy. Or maybe his emails aren't going through. Or maybe theirs aren't going through to his email provider. Or...or...or. All incoming emails to MTI are scanned by a spam filter. Many legit emails have been blocked or discarded for reasons beyond our understanding or control. Emails are never dependable when it is imperative to conduct business and obviously a phone call is much more effective. If a customer has an urgent matter to attend to ("Help! Someone switched my husband's beer cooler and he now has someone's kidney on ice!"), then they should probably call. After only a few short moments of searching Google.com, I found their customer service phone and FAX numbers. Here they are:

Phone: (800) 201-7575
Fax: (206) 266-2950

Though it may take a bit of searching for the number, no major company in the United States is without a phone.

I've been hither and yon today:  complete physical exam at 9:30  which went on till 10:30 with tests and all, then a trek to Madison and 38th to see my attorney.  After that, it took me another hour on the bus to get to 14th Street and Seventh Avenue.  Penn Station was a mass of police, and the uptown bus ride took forever because of all the traffic congestion.  All in all, a terrible gridlock day, mainly - I suspect - because everyone's driving rather than subwaying today.

I'm back in rainy Salem, Oregon! Got back to the home environment around 2 am and it was good to see Freddy again, but I miss New York and all the wonderful DRs that I met whilst I was there! I had such a fantastic time while I was there and I have to especially thank Elmore3003, Rodzinski, and TPunk for providing shelter and pretty much taking care of me and making sure I had a safe and fun trip in the big Apple! And JoseP for taking so much time to show me around (how will I ever forget the Condom Store! )...four of the finest people I have ever met and I really appreciate all you guys putting up with me and helping make this a trip to remember!

And to all the other DRs I met along the way during my NY stay...holy cow, what did I ever do to earn such good karma that I should get to meet and hang out with such a wonderful group of people!!!!


You're back safe?  I'll never pass Go and collect that $3million!

Ah, yes...

My Report on the B/K-less Hainesy/Kimlet gathering of 5 October 2005, Part Deux:

After I had finished chatting and laughing and crying with my friend Michael about Old times and Lehman Engel and other departed friends, I tried Jose's cell number to find out where the Magical Mystery Tour had got itself to, but he didn't pick up  (oh my, have I become a Nyorker!  I used to find "pick up" for "answer" the phone a peculiar expression).

But it was about 15:00, and according to the schedule they should all be somewhere in Chelsea.  Now how hard could it be to find them, I ask you?  So I hopped on the Way of Sub at 72nd and hied me to Chelsea.

I will pause briefly so you may admire a picture of my old friend Michael at the piano playing "Fly to Carracas".  Please to excuse the quality of photos from my credit-card digital camera.  It liketh not low light.

My Report on the B/K-less Hainesy/Kimlet gathering of 5 October 2005, Part Trois:

Well, Chelsea is a little bigger than that, you know.  So, having no cell phone, I decided to search out a working pay phone--an increasingly rare item in this day of satelite communications.

Imagine my surprise to discover that New York City appears to have operational pay phones on almost every corner, as in the days of yore.  And imagine my further surprise to find that for the pris fixe of 25¢ you may call anywhere in the U. S. for one minute!  Why, they charge 50¢ for a local call out on the Isle of Long.

First, I tried vixmom's phone, but she was evidently inside somewhere where she couldn't get reception.  Finally, at the corner of 15th Street and 7th Av, I talked to Jose, who told me to head over to the Chelsea Market at 14th and 9th.  Wrong!  It was 15th and 9th.

But I did manage to enter the bulding, and seeing no H/Ks, I walked on until I was mugged from behind and almost knocked over by the vixter.  She claimed her mother put her up to it!

So here I joined the Merry Band of Jose, MBarnum, Danise, uh,  well, I'm not going  to list everyone again and again, but at this point I made some new face-to-face acquaintances, renewed some old ones, and began "We're walking, we're walking, we're walking..." along with all the early risers.

I saved NIGHT STALKER to watch tonight.

Instead, I spent the last two hours with THE VIPs. I had forgotten that Terrence Rattigan wrote the screenplay and was astonished when his name popped up in the credits.

Yes, I can see why Margaret Rutherford won the Oscar for her scene stealing performance. And Rod Taylor, I suppose using his own natural Australian accent, has never been sexier. Some nice moments with Maggie Smith, too.

Liz is obviously putting on some weight by this time in her career, but Richard Burton has tousled hair, expensive suits, great lighting and make-up, and thus never looked more glamorous in a movie.

A fun two hour popcorn movie.

Here's a news item from the internet about your DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES snafu the other night:

"A Canadian broadcast of Desperate Housewives falling prey to a technical snafu the other night with several scenes being dropped from the last minutes of the program while others were repeated. CTV will rebroadcast the episode Saturday night, as ABC is also doing after the show was mistakenly broadcast to 175,000 Southern California households in Spanish. "

I am quite a noid right now, but I must shake it off so I'm happy for rehearsal.  While all three of my amazon packages arrived fine, the books did not arrive, despite today being their arrival day.  The culprit?  A late train.  I'm so sick of people not doing what they say they're doing.  So, bottom line, books will be here Monday morning, and I won't be able to ship them out until Tuesday morning, still earlier than the listed ship date on the website.  

Hopefully there will be no more late trains between then and now, although I do think the packages are actually in LA, just not on the truck.

Hello from Maui, kidz!

Aunt PennyO is here in her swell house (well, it's a rental, but it's MINE, nevertheless!!) up in Kula - beautiful grounds, a pool, a hottub, decks off both sides, gorgeous gardens and a view of all of Maui spread out below, and the islands off shore. Zowie! Wowie! Maui!!!

Anyway, I'm taking some time off, doing some gardening, writing a bit, singing every day (yup, brought my keyboard), feeding these amazing birds, and putting together a music program down in Wailuku. I saw a play last night by a local playwright - not so good, but some good ideas handled a bit clumsily. One really good performance, a couple of Not-Bad's, a couple of OY, Vey's, and a charismatic and scene-stealing cameo by (I kid u not) a local police officer - a giant Hawaiian with tribal tattoos and a killer dialect!!!

So, I'm reveling in the beauties of Nature at her Absolute and Perfect BEST, and wishing you all a good day, too. Oh, yeah - in my DVD player is the original D.O.A. and in the CD player is Emmylou Harris's Heartaches and Highways.

A few tracks from the Peter Pan collection.  But der B wasn't really in the mood for that.
   

Well, der B had "issues" with the album. As these things go, it was rather boring. I had problems with "I'm Flying" - this is not a listen-to-the-insightful-lyric song, this is accompanyment to a wonderful action scene- a stage filled with motion: the lyrics don't soar, the singer does! Larry tried mightily in the orchestrations to produce many audible images of movement, but it just was not enough.

for DR's Ron & Tomovoz

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

That DVD WILL be delivered tomorrow!!

I fear my post was too subtle!! I was concerned for Ron feelings that my copy would arrive - despite the distance etc - before his did. It is not late nor am I particularly anxious.  I "shop around" for best prices locally for most items of interest but not all DVDs are released in OZ and certainly we often have to wait months. I have found Amazon and some of the "other sellers" to be very efficient.

Thank you for the thoughts.

Yes, Tom is just expressing he's sorry for me.  He has NOTHING personal to be sorry about.  Except maybe a tie or two.  Maybe a particular shirt he picked out once on a trip to France.

Or those shoes he wore back in 1973.


And possibly he wondered once or twice in his life what he must have been thinking...or how much he had to drink the night before...when he woke up next to someone he couldn't remember.

Geez, this has been a chatty day.

It's been pretty busy at work and I'm only caught up to page 6.  

Those were great pictures, Hisaka!!  Thanks for posting them!

As for the Topic of the Day (Media check):

Nothing anywhere. ::) Actually, I do have some taped shows that I need to watch, and one movie from Netflix, Friends and Family (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206762/).  It's a comedy about two men who are a couple and the parents of one are coming for a surprise visit.  The parents know that the two guys are a couple, but what they don't know is that the guys are hit men for the mob!  Beth Fowler plays the mother and Anna Maria Alberghetti plays the mob boss' wife.  I've watched the first 20 minutes or so, and it's really cute..as are the leads. ;) I can't wait to watch the rest of it. ;D

With sincerest apologies to fans/friends of "I Do! I Do!"

No apologies necessary. I LOVE the show and I like that song very much.

My favorite song in the score is "What Is a Woman?"

And now, due to the day being Friday, the kitchen floor requires attention. Afterwards, there will be SPARTACUS (I'll see it enhanced for widescreen TVs for the first time!) and then last night's NIGHT STALKER.

Honey, I'm home!  Well, at least I'm back in the city and at the hotel.

I really enjoyed the train ride out and back.  I saw some lovely leaf colors along the way and real mountains!  Wow!

On the train ride home I got a call from DR Ginny.  She wanted to let everyone know she made to Atlanta safe and sound but her flight was delayed two hours.  Oy!

I didn't get the chance to tell you about the lady who fell down next to me crossing Broadway to see Fiddler last night.  Poor lady.  I hope that she is ok.

I'm heading up to the room now. I didn't know if the computer would work or not in my room (sometimes it does and sometimes it won't)  so I stopped off at the media center of the hotel.

Laters!

DR George -  Re FRIENDS AND FAMILY:  There's a song sung by a singer at a banquet about an hour into the movie called "You Can't Surprise Me" sung by Elisa Heinsohn of TV's FAME fame.  Skip wrote that song. (He was using the name Walter Edgar Kennon in those days; he's back to Skip Kennon on LAST STARFIGHTER.)

The movie got a lot of play on the film festival circuit (Variety even named the screenwriter one of the 10 Screenwriters to Watch one year based on this screenplay), got a lot of good reviews and several awards, but unfortunately was dinged by the L.A. Times and NY Times.  C'est la vie.

Media check:


And let's not forget the DVR:

Last episodes of ERing (watched earlier: S Woody was on the computer whill I watched and he called out "Is that a Brukheimer show?"  "Yes, I replied, how'd you know". "The music sounds like what he'd use!".) and Medium to watch later.

The DVR reminds me of Hard Disc Drives - when you first buy a computer you think - "Thre is no way I could fill up xxGigaBytes" - then you find out how easy it is.

The DVR has a 60 hour capacity - which I thought would take forever to reach - and I'm alredy erasing to make space!

And tonight I'll have to record Threshold (will miss the start by picking up SWW after work at nine) and "Law and Order", so I can watch "Numb3rs".

Of course you will. Just think of the whimsical Golen Book "The Little Engine That Could" you read as a child:

Quote
I think I can, I think I can..

Of course you may also have discovered this version:

Quote
The Little Blue Engine
                  by Shel Silverstein

The little blue engine looked up at the hill.
His light was weak, his whistle was shrill.
He was tired and small, and the hill was tall,
And his face blushed red as he softly said,
“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”

So he started up with a chug and a strain,
And he puffed and pulled with might and main.
And slowly he climbed, a foot at a time,
And his engine coughed as he whispered soft,
“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”

With a squeak and a creak and a toot and a sigh,
With an extra hope and an extra try,
He would not stop — now he neared the top —
And strong and proud he cried out loud,
“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!”

He was almost there, when — CRASH! SMASH! BASH!
He slid down and mashed into engine hash
On the rocks below... which goes to show
If the track is tough and the hill is rough,
THINKING you can just ain’t enough!

I might need to go down to Best Buy tomorrow...I forgot that the Val Lewton films were all released on DVD this week...although I will likely only pick up THE CAT PEOPLE and CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE.

I didn't know they were selling the films separately. I thought you could only get them in the box. Great news!

Well, DR Michael Shayne, you didn't exactly pick the prime night of the week for television. In fact, only Saturday night is worse.

I myself gave up on THRESHOLD. I've been reading some good reviews of it this week after I had decided after last week's show to abandon it, and tonight, I was busy with something else so I guess I really have dropped it from my viewing schedule.

In fact, I watched NO network TV tonight.

Instead of network TV, I put in the Criterion enhanced version of SPARTACUS. Thoroughly enjoyed the film, and it looked very nice indeed though I found the Technicolor rather variable throughout. The scenes with Kirk Douglas and Jean Simmons after they're reunited and also later on when she tells him she's pregnant had that usual deep saturation Technicolor is known for. Elsewhere, the color (flesh tones especially) seemed sometimes a bit washed out.

Enjoyed hearing Alex North's score very expansive in Dolby 5.1 sound, and oh, boy did John Gavin have a gorgeous body in that spa scene. I had to repeat certain sections of that to see that again. I know he showed his fine upper body in the first scene in PSYCHO, too, but this was in color and Super Panavision 70!

Back from rehearsal and supper with shocking news.  The Good Guys is going out of business.  They say that GE will honor extended warranties, so I'll be calling GE first thing on Monday, since I paid five hundred bucks for a five-year extended warranty last Feb for the new TV.  What a world.

I thought I might have other news, because UPS told a different story to the publisher's rep, and we thought the books might make it here this afternoon, but no, it was just more bs and the books will hopefully arrive Monday pre-noon.

The friends I'm supposed to see UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG with both say they definitely want to at least try to get there (it's about an hour and a quarter ride from Penn Station).  I guess if I don't at least try to see UMBRELLAS, the terrorists have won, and stuff like that.

That reminds me of another one of those misheard sayings that came up when the topic of the day was silly sayings:   "Lead us not into Penn Station" (misheard version of "Lead us not into temptation")

So IF there's a trivia question, and I appear E&T about trying to answer it, it'll just be that I'm out in Red Bank, New Jersey not giving in to the terrorist threat.  :)

Back from spending the evening with DR Jose. We had some ice cream and saw the new movie, "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio," which was a very loverly picture. So good, in fact, that I dragged DR Jose to the Virgin Megastore so I could buy a copy of the book.

And now I'm really tired. Still catching up on my rest from the tour, I suppose.

Tomorrow I'm off to Doylestown, PA, to see a production of HONK!, JR. Woo and hoo.

How is this shocking news?  Good Guys was sinking back when I was living in California, two years ago.  The operations they had running with Tower, called WOW!, in both Glendale and Long Beach, ended up with the Good Guys part of the stores almost devoid of equipment to be sold.

Hope you get that warrenty cleared up quickly.

I ended up having sushi for dinner with some friends before meeting up with DR Jason for ice cream and the movie.

The ice cream, Cold Stone Creamery, was good, and in order to atone for our caloric intake we walked from the AMC on 42nd down to the movies at 34th... And then back up to 42nd again.  And by that time, we were closer to the start times.

The movie, "The Contest Winner of Defiance, Ohio," was most enjoyable.  Quirky, sweet, funny and touching.  I had no idea what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

*The only "weird" thing about the movie-going experience tonight was the size of the theatre.   We were in Theatre 2, which is probably one of the smallest theatre in the complex.  I'd say there were about 110-120 seats.  But at least it was still stadium seating.

**And I suspect that many DRs will like this movie too, at the very least, the references to household products and TV shows of the time.  And the jingles!  Oh, the jingles!  :)

Yep, Good Guys is this decade's Rogersound Labs - ta ta.  I must say, when I was there this evening, the salesman I spoke to about my warranty was a complete butt cheek, basically saying that he thought GE would handle the warranty, but that Good Guys bore no responsibility for it.  I tried to enlighten him as best I could that I didn't pay five hundred bucks to GE, nor was the name GE mentioned when the warranty was being sold to me.  Doesn't matter anyway, as I assume they're going bankrupt, but if this is the way they're going to deal with customers then they deserve the worst they can get.

Just starting the notes now, so they'll be a bit late - feel free to post away, you late-night denizens.
