Sad Monkey

A compilation of my life and happenings, including my blog, Twitter, Jaiku, Flickr, Brightkite, Digg, Netflix (because they don't support dated RSS feeds), Pandora, del.icio.us and Plurk accounts.

disclaimer: yes, I know that's not a monkey, but depressedorangutan.net was not nearly as catchy.

  • Me: Hi, I'd like to downgrade my account to personal, please.
  • Rep: Okay, let me check my resources. *places me on hold*
  • Rep: Okay, you were wanting to downgrade your account to personal?
  • Me: Yes. So, what's the difference between the two account types?
  • Rep: Let me check my resources. *places me on hold again*
  • Rep: *explains the difference through a script*
  • Me: Okay, that's fine, let's do it.
  • Rep: Okay, please click on the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page. *continues to direct me through a few pages*
  • Rep: What does it say now?
  • Me: It tells me to call you.
  • Rep: *pause* Okay, I will change your account from premiere to personal now.
  • Me: Okay. If I may ask, why did you direct me through those page?
  • Rep: I thought it would let you do it there, but now that it says that we can do it, I can do it from here.
