idiots work at Australia Post..

I'm piss off with Australia Post..was very close to biting that stupid post office lady's head off! My partner went there yesterday and we are meant to collect this parcel but it wasn't there. So i emailed the seller and asked him and he confirmed that he has sent it last week. So well, i had to call Australia Post to ask where the parcel is and the post office finally confirmed and said that they have a new sorting guy and didn't sort it properly but it's been sitting there ready for collection.

So well, this post office isn't round the corner but a 10mins drive away..so we had to go out of our way to go to this post office to collect the parcel again and when i was there, the lady said..oh there must have been a mistake. There's no parcel for your collection. I had to tell her that well, I was told the parcel is waiting for collection this morning so it has to be there..went back to the room for another few minutes and she finally came out with a parcel and her excuse was..oh its the wrong name. I wish i could scream at her..it doesn't matter who the parcel is addressed to! It is sent to my PO Box so I am here to collect it! Just because you guys have a bad filing system for parcel, it is not my problem? And if you are at fault and not looking properly, don't find a stupid excuse to give cos you'll only look like an idiot.

This lady should thank god that i don't have the time and that post office is not the one nearest to me cos if it is, i will be dropping my parcels off every day to make her life difficult because at the end of the day, I AM THE CUSTOMER! idiots....don't mess around with the wrong person!

caffeine didn't work!!!

I'm glad i managed to survive today cos the caffeine didn't work and I was so tired and yawning the whole day! Didn't help that things are really slow these days leading up to christmas and i didn't have much to do. ekk....it was so difficult....i hope i don't have many of these days..might need a few more shots of caffeine and that's not healthy..i'm trying to stick to 1 coffee a day!!

WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!

Kevin Rudd - the new prime minister....

So the polls have been correct all these while...that kevin rudd is the new PM. I'm glad that he won cos he seems to be in touched with the people of Australia. He understands, he listens, he has the energy and wants to make Australia a better and stronger country. He gave a very good speech on saturday night and by Sunday morning, he's already giving his 2nd speech and has spoken to George Bush, Gordon Brown etc etc. I admire his energy and you can tell how motivated he is.

It is true that John Howard has helped reduce unemployment rates and the Australian economy has never been better. However, is that John Howard's contribution or is Australia just the lucky recipient of China's booming economy? He seems to be very focussed on the economy of Australia but many issues such as the problems within the Aboriginal communities, climate changes, health system and education system seems to be ignored. And if the economy is doing so well, why is the great Austalian dream of owning a house so difficult for people in their 20s-30s to own their own house?

John Howard has made enormous contributions but maybe because the economy is doing so well that we can afford to have a change of government and even if it is a mistake, the price to pay isn't as great. And looking at Kevin Rudd, I believe we have made the right choice. Many issues won't be resolved overnight but he has gained our trust that he will resolve it asap.

So congratulations kevin rudd, we have placed our faith in you...it's time you show us what you are capable of.

Omigod..its been a month...

Time flies...i've been thinking of writing a post in here for a while but never managed to do so. So a quick update of my life...work work work...business is getting busier and busier by the day...employed someone I trust to help me out and it's been fantastic! it has definitely opened more avenues for me! Christmas is just round the corner and i've been working real hard to make as much as I can before the retail season's over and i can take a breather from christmas to mid-jan. Things have been going really well and the idea of going part time at work so that i can deal with what i really love to do is creeping back into my head..at the end of the day, what do i have to lose? We'll see...

It's election time this Saturday...I can't wait to find out who's Australia's next prime minister. I have lots of views on the whole thing but well, never mind...we'll find out on Saturday and we'll know. Hopefully, Australia can make the right choice and put the right guy there for the job :)

Dreams...

Dreams...i reckon thats how i stay alive. To have dreams and trying to achieve those dreams. I find it impossible to live without direction and without goals. I don't understand how people can just live day by day, living off government payouts and sit around and do nothing. It'll be fun for a month of so not to work and not have to stress about anything but that's more of taking a break.

My dream today...to win the $30mil oz lotto...or at least my dream up till 630pm...i know it sounds sad..and i know money won't give you everything in life but well, i'm pretty sure it will make me a very happy girl at least for the next few years :)

grr.....

if looks could kill...i would have killed someone today...

that person is testing my patience...he better stay away from me....or else...its going to get real ugly.

wish i can win lotto...$3mil is the minimum for every week's lotto...i can do with that..i can do with $1mil as well...

grr....

Optus sucks...don't ever go there...

Either there are more and more idiots working these days or they are all in their early 20s with a very bad attitude who don't seem to care anymore. I was looking at changing my mobile phone provider and since optus has provided a service that I can't complaint, i thought I'll give them a chance and let them offer me whatever deal they can give me instead of jumping on the next cheapest bandwagon. (not too sure if i'm the only customer out there anymore!!!)

So anyway, I was asked to speak to a retention manager. Funny how i have to pay 22cents to call and speak to them when they are trying to retain my business? Spoke to someone in sales who is the rudest person ever who said -

'If you want to switch providers, you can just walk through their door and sign up there'

She has no idea that optus even have a retention department or that a retention manager exists and she's in sales! Either she has resigned and trying to piss every single customer off or optus is that desperate to even employ someone without customer service experience who don't know how to listen. Spent another 22cents to call the complaints line and they recorded my complaint and got me a retention manager who can't even match other providers' deal. So optus has a retention department who is trying to retain customers and yet, don't have to the power to do anything to retain customers. They can't even match other provider's deal, let alone beat them!

Pathetic.....
