I hate computers

Can I tell you how much I hate computers.  The one technology that is said to make our work easier.  Well show me where that is such the case.  So far today I have lost all my profiles, had to reboot 5 times.  One of my co-workers computers decided to update itself which made some of her programs not work.  We call our "IT Guy".  Whats his reply?  "Google it!"  Really google it?  Wow like we haven't done that all ready.  So I ask you is new technology really that great after all?

Life In The Fast Lane

With the first, no thats a lie. With the latest travel muppet in place everyday life is soooo wonderful here in "Happytown!" The other Muppets continue chatting about their Weightwatchers that seems to be adding not deducting pounds and our muppet still fails to grasp the most basic of basics about travel.Add to this happy mixture the toothless wonders that come in smelling like they napped in an ashtray telling their whole life story, bringing with them a trio of miss matched children of different parentage with varying amounts of food and dirt on them, and life becomes another day in this office. We also had a visit Saturday from the guy who thinks he owns two cars but doesn't know where they are but wants to insure them. This is just a normal day in the glamorous life of a travel agent!!!!!!

Muppet Invasion!!!

It is true I have to tell you...the muppets are infiltrating travel in the guise of being a new agent!!! Definately a candidate for insurance. She is deaf to anything she is told and is more interested in taking breaks than working. It could be a problem. The white shit continues to fall and the local driver continue to leave their brains in bed where it is warm. If the snow looks deep and you are driving a low riding car it means you will probably get stuck....not any vastly complicated science just common sense. Oh thats right you left that with your brain in bed this morning!! I think maybe we should move Christmas to February we would have a better chance of a white Christmas. But doesn't this weather just make you want to sing " Jingle Bells" no I am talking about the weather not our new agent:)

Looneys on the loose!

Things do not improve as far as the number of loosers per square inch! Got a great call this morning. Quick background; client comes in just days before bad weather is predicted and wants to get out of town. I find a package, show it to them, book it they pay for it, I get documents and off they go. The call this morning, the plane was delayed because of icing, when they got to their connecting city they only had 35 minutes to make their connection and missed it. The airline re accomodated them on a later flight. They only had to wait 5 hours. On their return they lost track of days and arrived at the airport a day early. The airline had space so said they could fly for $300 fee. They flew home.Today she calls because she wants to get some money back! It was no ones fault that the weather was bad and they reaccomodated them even though they lolly gagged through the airport and whose fault was it they did'nt know what day it was? What was in those drinks and did they ever sober up while they were there? Please people stop acting like muppets and take charge of your selves and stop blaming everyone else!!!!!

Shoes polished and ready but I'm not!!

The muppets are so excited about Sunday.............freaks!!!! Yep we are all ready and rearing to go. Another weekend shot to shit and the schedule is as usual sucky!!!! Did we all get the memo about colors? We should look like a box of crayons!! The muppets are beyond redemption in here. We had a difficult customer who was getting loud and beligerent and not one of them lifted their heads or backsides to help their co worker. A shifty looking man was banging on the window yesterday at 8am but did one of the so called men in here make a move to deal with him no they all hid behind their desks to let the women deal with  him. Like I have always said......"I work with a bunch of old women!!!!" not a drop of real testosterone to be had. One is more like Mr Rogers ( but sweet) the other lives on memories of days he was a stud (or thought he was) and obviously has not checked either a mirror or with the opposite sex for the cold hard truth. As for half the females they are all too busy with the "vapours" to be able to be of any use to anyone and now we have a new one who thinks checking emails makes her busy!!!!

It's showtime baby!!

Time to put on your tap shoes and start dancing baby!!!  Sunday is the big performance, the day that we all get to put on a happy face and do some dancing.  Dancing around the masses of clients ready to book there vacations.  HA! HA! HA!..We will be surprised if we get 5 people each ready to book.   

Baby It's Cold Outside!

An office full of people whose cups are half empty can be waring and boy am I worn out. Even the Grinch would feel the chill in this office!!!!! No sorry he'd feel the heat :) Thank goodness it is not any warmer. Unfortunately the muppets have decided that wearing clothes appropriate for the season is below them and we should all cook. Our customers come in from the outside dressed for the weather and walk into heat comparable with the beaches in Hawaii in August. I know this is not just this office that has this problem but boy what a group of two year olds. I now firmly believe that reversion to childhood as you get older also happens to people in certain proffessions. I work in what should be a happy job so I guess I tend to be an optimist but if you deal with disasters and misfortune I think it must rub off on some people. Certainly the muppets in here seem to thrive on misery and misfortune.
