Complaint.

Hello.

 

My name is Brent Evjen, ExpressVu account number 8455101001474443.

 

I have recently moved and booked my new installation date with Bell ExpressVu on approximately July 26th.  I was told that the new dishes would be installed on Friday the 13th of Aug.  I adjusted my work schedule to accommodate this appointment.

 

Friday the 13th came and went without any contact from anyone regarding the installation of my dishes.

 

On the Saturday, August 14th I received a call from an installer who told me they were sorry they hadn't come on the 13th and that they did not know when they could come to do the installation.

On Sunday, August 15th I received a second call from the installer who told me that they were unable to come to install the dish until Thursday, August 19th.

 

I told her that this was unacceptable, and I would like the dish installed right away.  Her response was "I'll have to talk to my husband."

 

Later that afternoon I received a phone call from a man who informed me that he was the installer and that Thursday was the best that he could do.

 

His reasons for this were many.  His reasons included "it is too expensive to drive to Smithers for one installation." , "If Bell had their way I would be driving all over the place to do one installation at a time." , "in the north things don't work like they do in the larger centers" , " Bell doesn't give me enough notice before they want the installation done."

 

After listening to his woes, I explained to him, that I had booked the appointment for the 13th, and I had re-arranged my schedule to accommodate that appointment, and he replied, in a very sarcastic voice, " I didn't even get notification for your installation until the 13th, how do you expect me to run my business like that".

 

After hearing him complain more, I explained to him that his problems with Bell are "not my problem" and I wanted my dish installed before Thursday.

 

I suggested to him, that since he didn't have time to do it, perhaps he should phone Totem Audio (a local retailer who did my first installation ) and ask them to do the installation for him.  To which he replied, "that's not my problem."

 

I asked him if he was contracted by Bell to perform installations.  He said "Yes".

 

I asked him if he had been advised of my installation.  He said "Yes".

 

I asked him why my installation hadn't been done.  He again said that he couldn't do it before Thursday.

 

I told him "That's not good enough".

 

To which he responded, ".. then you better phone Bell and have them rebook your installation with someone else, and I hope you don't get your dish for three or four weeks."   Then he said "F*** YOU" and he hung up on me.

 

At no time in the conversation did I ever curse or use foul language.  I admittedly was not sympathetic to his problems, but I do not feel that I should have to listen to his complaints about Bell. 

 

I am the customer, my only concern is with my installation and meeting my expectations for reasonable service.  I made an appointment for August 13th and it was not met.  When I did finally speak to a Bell representative, who was the installation contractor, I was cursed at and hung up on.

 

 

This is not acceptable.

 

 

I would like a written apology, by mail, that includes the steps Bell ExpressVu has taken to prevent their customers being treated in such a manner.  In particular a copy of any reprimand sent to the contractor.

 

I have been a Bell ExpressVu customer for only approximately one year, until this point I have received excellent service and my expectations have always been met.

Frenzied cat in cockpit forces airliner down



BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) Â? An SN Brussels airliner made an emergency landing
after an "agitated" passenger Â? a cat Â? got into the cockpit and attacked
the co-pilot, the airline said Tuesday.

The Monday flight from Brussels to Vienna, Austria, had been in the air
about 20 minutes when it was noticed that a passenger's pet had escaped
from its cage, "although it is not yet clear how," according to an airline
statement.

"Once free, the animal proceeded to wander around the cabin," slipping into
the cockpit when meals were being delivered to the two-man flight crew, it
said.

"At this stage the animal became agitated and nervous," it said. An airline
spokesperson added that the cat scratched the co-pilot's arm.

The pilot decided to return to Brussels as a precaution, and the 58
passengers left Brussels two hours later on another flight.

The cat had been checked in Oslo, Norway, in an internationally approved
"flight transport bag," but the airline said it may end up changing its
procedures for pets in the cabin once it concludes its investigation.

"At no time throughout the incident was the passengers' security affected
in any way," it said.

If you're not familiar with the works of Steven Wright, he's the guy who
once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen and
replaced by exact duplicates." Here are some more of his gems:

1) I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2) Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.
3) Half the people you know are below average.
4) 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5) 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6) A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
7) A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
8) If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
9) All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.
10) The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
11) I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met.
12) OK, so what's the speed of dark?
13) How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
14) If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked
something.
15) Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16) When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17) Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
18) Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
19) I intend to live forever - so far, so good.
20) If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21) Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
22) What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23) My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your
horn louder."
24) Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
25) If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
26) A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
27) Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
28) The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
29) To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is
research.
30) The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
31) The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
32) The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on
it.
33) Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

Matchbox 20 - Angry

So scream you, out from behind the bitter ache
You're hangin on the memory, you need most
Still want love, ugly, smooth and delicate
Not without affection, not alone

And instead of wishing that it would get better
Man you're seeing that you just get angrier

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry, anymore

Cry when you cry, run when you run
Love when you love
Represent the ashes
That you leave behind

And instead of wishing that the road had shoulder
Man you're seeing that you're sinking over time

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry
It's dragging me under
I'm not angry

I'm not angry it's never been enough
It gets inside and it tears you up
I'm not angry but I've never been above it
You see through me don't you

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry
It's dragging me under
I'm not angry

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry, anymore

Trooper, Santa Maria

With only fear and good judgement
Holding us back
We sailed out on the Northern Sea
With a boat load of crazy people
Including the shotgun and me

Does somebody know how to drive this thing
Yelled the captain as he fell to his knees
I think I mighta had a little too much today
Take me to my cabin, please

Cruisin' on a sardine boat
Loaded with crazy people
And we shall be the Santa Maria
Looking for a brave new world

The first mate shouted from the crow's nest
I think I might see land out there
Nobody moved
From where they were laying
Cause nobody really cared

Mosquito fogging not necessary in 'Peg: officials

WINNIPEG - When is a nuisance enough of a nuisance to warrant action? When it comes to mosquitos, the city of Winnipeg says, "not yet."

The city's insect control branch says the buzzing and biting of mosquitoes may be bugging you, but it's not bad enough to start fogging with malathion to kill them.

Insect control spokesman Ken Nowalsky says two things are required before fogging takes place: the number of mosquitos in test traps must reach a certain number, and the weather must co-operate.

"Before we can ever consider going into a nuisance mosquito control program for fogging, we have to have three consecutive nights of 25 or more female mosquitos [in the traps], so we can't even contemplate residential fogging until that set of goals has been achieved."

For the province of Manitoba, a fogging campaign is triggered by West Nile virus, not nuisance mosquitos.

"Right now we look at a number of factors, none of which are present at this time," says Dr. Susan Roberecki is Deputy Chief Medical Officer. "We haven't yet identified West Nile in Manitoba, and were hoping to do that, usually first with birds."

Ontario and Saskatchewan have reported birds infected with West Nile.

To protect yourself from mosquitos, officials suggest covering up exposed skin and wearing insect repellent that contains DEET.




I think Joni Mitchell said it best...


Hey farmer farmer
Put away that d.d.t. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

After a long night of making love, a man notices a photo of another man  on the woman's nightstand by her bed. He begins to worry...  

 

"Is this your husband?" he nervously asks.

 

"No, silly," she replies, snuggling up to him.

 

"Your boyfriend, then?" he continues.

 

"No, not at all,"  she says, nibbling away at his ears.

 

"Is it your dad or your brother?"  he inquires, hoping to be reassured.

 

"No, no, no!!!" she answers.

 

Then he demands, "Well, who in the hell is he?"

 

"That's me before the surgery."

A Cow Story....

Is it just me or does anyone else find it absolutely amazing that the U.S. government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington, and determine exactly what that cow ate. They can also track her calves right to their stalls, and tell you what kind of feed they ate. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around in their country, including people that are trying to blow up important structures in the U.S. Seems like a good solution is to give every illegal alien a cow as soon as
they enter the country.

Consequences


A little boy asks his Mum "why am I black and you're white"?;
"Don't even ask" she replies, "when I think back to that party...you're
lucky you don't bark!"

Here is an excerpt from an email we recieved this week... The names have been removed to protect the ignorant...



Being that I am going back to work on July 9th, I am looking for child care right now. Since I work wacky shifts and long hours, I am possibly looking at hiring a nanny (Filipino nanny). I was wondering if you know anything about this service or any member of your family knows anything. I'm stuck between hiring someone directly from the Philippines, or hiring someone who is already here. I work 6 on and 6 off and didn't really want someone living in my house on all my days off as well, so I was sort of looking for a week on, week off person. Do you know anything about this stuff? Let me know.
Thanks, XXXXX



Why not just say... "We think your entire race is comprised of nannys. We think you are all the same. We think less of your race than we think of our own. Your race makes great servants, we would like to own one"


Or am I over reacting?

I am writing this letter in regards to my misunderstood practical joke. I sincerely regret any troubles I have caused you. It was not meant to be malicious. It was intended to make people smile.

We have enjoyed a five year working relationship, and I hope we can continue to get along.
