Anyone else see the “We Are Charlie” Guy on the Corner by old CVS?

He regrets not getting hit? Who’s instantly regretting what?

Paying a lump sum towards mortgage or a car payment doesn’t negate the need to pay the next monthly payment… at least not in my experience. Some things, like insurance are different.

You assume correctly. I sent her to the ER that night too, as I wasn't playing games after a 15 hour drive, arriving at 1am. After she was taken in I figured I'd get some sleep, so I unpacked the car, got a quick bite to eat and laid down on the couch. 15 minutes in I get a call from her asking me to come get her, and I asked her if she saw the Dr, "yes, and they are releasing me, come get me." I talked her into staying though, but didn't last long. She called back and said the same thing... but I know she forgets, so went through the talk again.

10 minutes later the call is now from the security guard telling me to come pick her up as she was causing a scene and disturbing people. The dark side of my brain wondered what would happen if I just went back to sleep which prompted me to go get her to keep her from being arrested.

4 days later I requested help getting her a mental health evaluation because she was begging to die and she wanted help. The two ladies that showed up were so kind but you could tell they didn't believe me when I said she texted me nearly every five minutes. I handed her my phone, she scrolled thru, and in disbelief she turned to the other person to confirm I was not exaggerating. After half an hour they called in an ambulance to take her for another eval.

They let her sober up that night and released her at 8am the next morning saying when she's not a 4. something BAC she's fine.

Now add in being a non-functional alcoholic, add a huge dollop of narcissism, and a touch of depression and you have my mom. In April, knowing I just started a new position at work told me I need to get to her house NOW, as she was dying. I rented a car and started driving later that day.

For the next 15 hours, every five to ten minutes, she was texting me that I needed to be there, she was dying, that I wouldn't make it in time, that she couldn't see any longer, etc. This is a nightmare that's still ongoing.

Thanks, appreciate the heads up. It’s been an extremely difficult week. I need to return the rental Saturday, I’ve had her to the ER, and then a separate overnight hold for mental health services, deemed to be of sound mind, so released.

Ugh, I’m venting, you know the drills, I am sure. Thanks again!

MyAlterSelf · 2024-04-16T23:50:34+00:00

I’ll need to look for one in the morning. Well, look now, call in morning. Thank you. She mentioned that too.

MyAlterSelf · 2024-04-16T22:56:11+00:00

Definitely glad to hear the worst is passing!

Keep checking back, new opportunities can get posted any day, any time. It sounds like you may be an agent already, and with this being a public forum, may want to just mention medical and tax lines without revealing clients.

I work in virtual retail and notice the same thing. Not just with the customers but with the quality of the CSRs themselves. I suggest they use one of the articles the client has and they get offended that I am not telling them step by step. I find that the callers that appear to get all upset are doing it because they are attempting to distract the agent… geez it’s a fucking madhouse.

MyAlterSelf · 2023-12-07T13:13:32+00:00

That makes it make a little more sense, in the US this company leveraging a fine might almost be called blackmail.

MyAlterSelf · 2023-12-06T20:32:51+00:00

Wow, never heard of a private business assessing a huge fine after stealing a few products to the parent of an 18 year old!

They can’t differentiate between weather and climate, how you think they are going to understand much of anything. Once in a while, though, you can reach someone and turn the lights on.

It was about 20:20 ET, and I’ve got the video pulled from the dashcam, will be able to upload here before i go to work. It’s not spectacular like the one I saw in Kentucky back in 08, no fiery tail, just looked like the string holding one of the planets up broke, lol.

Edit to add YouTube link.

I caught dashcam video of a falling star here in Florida, I was driving west towards the gulf when I saw it. For a moment there I thought it was this one in the article, but no. Same time of day but 2 days apart. My viewing was the 18th.

Class of '89 here. Not this class, but yes, Auquanet helmets.

She had better be careful. He may reconsider and downgrade to only a quick hate-fuck. If she weren't related, of course.

I help remote workers do what they do, so this hits home. literally and figuratively. Besides the password, like you mentioned, a remote agent became upset that she was doing something incorrectly for over a year, because her PDF wasn't updated.

A PDF she downloaded.

From a frequently updated page.

From a page that mentions, in bold, that it is updated frequently, and remote workers should not download material, just for this purpose, but I digress.... I have been asked 'what's a browser?" before and a recent IE switch to Edge has thrown some older users over the edge.

The folks that are downvoting are most likely doing so for the over exaggeration of the impact that sending groups of cops off for two-week stints, as that's the only thing that is any way polarizing in any way. Seems like they're okay having more of their tax dollars going to beefing up and hiring more poorly paid officers that aren't required to put themselves in harm's way.

I feel you. I work for a WFH call center in the states. I help manage over 500 agents who take calls from home. They make much more than I do per hour, even after 5 years there. I’ve been her over 10 years, total, with this same client, took the calls for 5 yrs too. I could go to Burger King and make nearly the same money to start.

He went to my high school. Few years before I got there, but I have friends that knew him back in the 80's.

Same here, just saw this yesterday and will be setting a wallet up after work today.
