It’s a shame DR John G is having trouble with one of his digits.

The trouble I’m having is with my propane delivery service. They won’t deliver to me. Their customer service dept has gone rogue. This evening I had a lady pretending she couldn’t hear me and telling me to call back in 2 minutes, by which time they’d closed.

Do you need propane to heat your home?

I rarely am satisfied with customer service these days, at least on the phone.
Ended up getting rid of Verizon Wireless for that reason.
They have no idea what “customer service” means.

I was a customer service supervisor when I worked in the airline industry.
My calls were carefully monitored.
Had I behaved the way customer service agents behave now, I would have been fired on my first day,  if not my first hour.

DR Iris, it’s a big national conglomerate, and the online system is not communicating with the local delivery service. They are measuring my usage based on the last homeowners, but those people lived here only seasonally. And we need it for heat, yes

Rodzinski, what movies have you enjoyed this year?

I watched Argentina, 1985 last night.

If in a library, you could be shelving.

Our posts we must not shelve, until we get to twelve.

However, I didn't realize that their winter hours were still in effect, so they were closing at 7:00, about 5 minutes after I got there. ::)

I’m trying to think of the last movie I watched and nothing is coming to mind. I was going to take the wife to a movie after Valentine’s dinner, and I couldn’t even find anything I’d like to see.

I guess I kinda watched The Swimmer in bits and pieces on YouTube when Burt Lancaster came up.

I was able to get my sub, but I expected to be able to stay there for an hour and read my book on my Kindle...but I couldn't.

As for movies, I’ve never seen “Spirited Away”, which I plan to watch tomorrow.
