    My brother was a passenger in a terrible car accident this morning. He broke his back in 3 places. I feel like crap that I'm on the other side of the country and can't be there. My mom and dad said he isn't paralyzed thank god.

    Y'know, of the major Boston teams I probably care least about the Celtics, and now that Pierce and Garnett play for the Nets, I may switch loyalties. They've been doing really well and seem to be on the rise while the Celtics... not so much. That, and perhaps living in Brooklyn for 4 years affected me more than I'd like to admit. :p

    Thank goodness for that, at least. Best wishes on his recovery.

    Don't do it... Boston should always be your #1 choice.


    Rox That's terrible to hear about... any chance at you'd be able to take some time off work to visit him? Hopefully his recovery goes well!

    I'm only marginally interested in basketball anyway. Only thing that draws me to the Celts is hometown loyalty.

    And yeah Rox, that sucks. I don't know much about back injuries, but here's hoping your brother makes a swift recovery.

    Thanks everyone. My brother is a big strong guy and is already cracking jokes which is great. I'm trying to scrape the cash together to fly out but it might not be for a few weeks.

    We still have to assemble them.

    Other than that: I. don't. want. to. talk. to. people. anymore. today. Sometimes it really sucks to work at a call center. It kinda makes me antisocial when I leave for home...

    oh, well bye, then. See you tomorrow. This isn't directed toward you until you come back and are interested in interaction...

    I am interested in talking to online people. :) Maybe I didn't express myself correctly. Real-life talking is hard when you have to talk to customers for 8 hours a day.

    Well, I hope this session of online antics helps you recover from the customer service bloodletting.

    It certainly does. :) Although some weirdness even tops the customers too.

    I once had a prankster calling who said "My name is Marty McFly and I would like to ask for the time and date because I think I' stuck in a time paradox here...".

    There are moments. And the co-workers are fun. But trying to talk sense into customers shouting in uncivilized manner can break the spirit.

    I agree, that seems like it would be better than actual whiny and disgruntled customers.

    Customers, particularly in retail, are way too full of themselves. The old adage "the customer is always right" is one of the most ridiculous social conventions in existence. Am I bitter after having worked 8+ years in retail? Maybe. [face_whistling]

    :p

    I state this fully aware of what context it may take on in a Star Wars forum and what puns it might provoke:

    Fried calamari is one of the best foods in the world.
