24/7 Phone Support Idea...........

[jimdoe2you]

Late last night I had a problem with one of my posts again. It was late and had spent some time on the internet looking at a lot of different sites for various round floats. I'm always looking at them and comparing them to the two I have now. I was amazed at how many different types and sizes there actually are, from natural rubber to fancy silicone ones. I saw photos of big ones, small ones, long pointy ones, and even a photo of a lady holding one that was absolutely humongous.

After having looked at what must have been hundreds of them, I went to deeperblue.net, ................................and then that's when I realized I had a huge problem. My post would not submit!!!!!

That is when I started really wishing island sands were around to help me with my problem. I think we should have island sands as a 24/7 customer support contact by giving out her personal phone number so that she can be contacted even in the wee hours of the night incase we have an issue arise that needs to be handled right away. I know I have had a problem with one of my posts on many occasions. My wife, who although it is not her profession, is what I consider an amateur specialist. After a half an hour, my post was still stuck. However, she worked on the my post for more than a hour before she finally gave up and went to bed. She was feeling very tired.

Frustrating, .........very, very frustrating.

The questions: "Does anyone else experience this? Can island sands handle it, should there be a team of 24/7 supporters, should it be outsourced to a company that does this professionally, and will that company be based out of Las Vegas?

Thanks, Jim

Maybe we were surfing the same sites on the internet last night...;-)

So, either tourmenting Sarah (which might indeed be amusing) by calling her in the middle of the night to "handle" your "issue" and(or) getting Stephan to pay for a support team (that I think woudln't have much job), or you saving your post and asking for help and waiting patiently for a solution the day after?
What would Stephan do.....

Just say you want Sara's number!


EDIT: Is this the float you were looking for?

Michael,

I don't think you fully understand. If it doesn't get submitted, I can't sleep because the only thing I can think about is my is my post!!! Maybe you should read the #1 post above one more time.

The photo does have certain relevance though.

Yeah great idea Jim.
Sara on a 24/7 help line.
'cos sometimes I get depressed and having someone I can call, 'specially in the middle of the night, or even home projects. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with a plumbing problem.

To be able to talk to Island Sands could easily relieve (guess I'd beter stop now.)

 

[jimdoe2you]

Yeah, ......................but did I mention that the job pays $3.99 per minute!!!

I even predict you will make about $1,000 per week from Shane alone!!!

Here, let me help out by writing your ad for you:

"Hi, are you having problems with your hard drive? Do you often say to yourself, "I wish I would had gotten more ram this week"? Do you have a floppy that is covered in dust because it hasn't been used in so long? Well if your answer to any of these is "Yes" then you may need the support of a trained professional."

"Hello, this is Sara."

"Yes, I'm having to trouble with my, ......eerrrr, ......hard drive not starting."

"Well do you have a floppy?"

"Ummmm, .....exactly!"

"Is it making a clicking sound?"

"WHAT?????"

"OK, first I need you to open windows."

"I really don't think my neighbors would appreciate that!"

"Do you have video?"

"Yes, I've tried those to. Nothing works for me!"

"How old is your computer?"

"...........................(long pause)....................................What computer???"

I think you were thinking I was thinking you were thinking something else while I wasn't sure what to think you were thinking.
Anyway, I think this calls for a poll!

How are you so sure that Sara wouldn't be abusing the hotline herself....

Prrdddd-Prrdddd....Prrdddd-Prrdddd....Prr *click*

Island: Deeperblue.net Technical Hotline. This is Sarah, may I ask what you're wearing?

Jim: Hi Sara, this is Jim Do-...W-wait...What did you just say?

Island: Ummm, I said "what's your queary".

Jim: Oh. OK. For a second there I thought you said "wh".....never mind.

Island: How can I hump you, Jim?

Jim: Well, it's about my post.

Island: Woah. Let's slow it down a bit, then. How big of a post are we talking about, here? *sound of wine pouring in background*

Jim: Long enough to scroll it.

Island: Oh deary.

Jim: Is that going to be a problem?

Island: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Jim: I...uh....is that...um....I'm not sure I understand why you're laughing, Sara.

Island: Oh, I was just thinkin' of something.

...Jim.

Jim: Yeah.

Island: What's wrong with your huge post?

Jim: Well, it won't enter.

Island: HA HA HA HA!

Jim: Alright, what gives.

Island: Well, definitely not your post, ha ha ha ha ha.

Jim: Look, I'm trying to respond to a thread and I'd like to-

Island: Sorry. Jim, do you have any peripherals attached to your computer at the moment?

Jim: I dunno what that would have to do wi-

Island: Jim, I'm just going over a checklist here. Tell me what you have connected at the moment, please.

Jim: Um...alright. I have a web-cam, and a-

Island: Bingo. Jim, does your web-cam have a pretty good shot at your workspace?

Jim: Well, yeah. It overlooks my entire kiosk, why?

Island: I need you to flex for the camera and.....Oh, bugger! There's Sinkweight on the other line. Jim can I call you back?

Jim: Do you need my number?

Island: No. It'll be a minute. Make sure you're wearing something sexy. Cheers.

Jim: What?!

Island: *click* *click* This'ad better be good, Warren.

Sinky: Hello? Sara?

Island: Warren, what in the bloody hell do you want. This is the sixth time you've called here this week. Why me.

Sinky: I'm sorry Sara. I don't really know how to use the speed dial on my phone.

Island: Who else is on your speed dial, Warren.

Sinky: Oh, just the Deeperblue Hotline, really.

Island: Criminy. What's the problem, Warren.

Sinky: I woke up all curled in a ball inside of a tiny pitch black room, and I don't know what's going on. I can't make which is up or down and it's a bit warm.

Island: Can you feel around the place?

Sinky: Yeah. I feeeeelllll....I feel mmmetal. And I can feel a glass bottle. No wait...two glass bottles. Nope. Nope. Make that three glass bottles.

Island: Warren, you wanker. You've passed out in the dryer again. Please remove this number from your speed dial. *click*

Sinky: Fine. *beep-beep-bop. Beep-boop-boop-beep*
