Gaining Popularity in the Polls...

Today I called HP customer support. Long story short, Kevin (my customer service rep) is getting a ferret tomorrow.

He's going to name him Oakley.

Other facts about Kevin:
* He's a professional chef, just working a desk job until he finds a kitchen that wants to pay him what he's worth.
*Tonight he's going to re-dye his hair black, he did it a few weeks ago and he used cheep stuff, so it turned out bluish purplilsh blackish. He's going to splurge for the good stuff because right now it just looks like sh*t.
*While he attended high school in Monterey, he was in a Shakespeare Club.
*Tomorrow he's going horse-back-riding with his lady-friend and then cooking her dinner. Then she'll be putty in his hands.

Lesson Learned:
Don't tell a stranger your child's name, even if it's not your favorite.
Remember this?


I'm a slow learner.

Mine's still cuter.

yes your's is cuter. he must have been in a really talkative mood to have told you all of that important information about his life. Too bad he didn't send you his email address. Then you could have kept in touch.

At least it was over the phone and not in line at the store with a chatty cashier. It never fails...they see you have a box of diapers and are sure you want to know ALLLL about their first experience giving birth.

Oh man that makes me laugh! I remember the good old days being on the phone 8 hours a day, but it was usually on the other side that would be so chatty, seemed customers would call to order something just to have a chat, one guy talked to me for over 45 mins...I got in trouble for that...I just felt to bad to tell him that I needed to hang up so other people could call and make orders. Oh if your curious I sold Noni Juice...it cures all aliments.

Hands down, OP is the all time winner. Goth ferret owners and smiling dogs don't even count. Funny random conversation - don't they moniter their calls?

HooHoo said...

Sorry, I just realized the customer service reps name was Kevin. Ha ha ha ha! Kevin - ferrit named Oakley. Have you asked your brother what he's doing in his spare time?

Carol said...

ok i cant believe he told you all that sh** :) I love Oakley's hair - he is a cutie!!

When Kirk used to be on the phones at work, he'd talk to crazy people all the time that would tell him their life stories. One guy told him he was trying to become a male model, and when he sent in his school application, he also sent his photo resume, which included several pictures of him in the buff. YIKES! I'm glad Kevin finally got a ferrett! If he wants to pretend he's getting a weiner dog and naming him Bruce, that's okay, we still all know the truth! Oakley's such a cutie! I like how you can always get matching Oakley and Oakley the dog pictures. You should just cut to the chase and get buddy pics of them, maybe at Contempo.

What an adorable ferret. And the T-shirt is to die for. Your post included 2 of the things that make me laugh the hardest:

1) Animals (especially ferrets) wearing clothes

2) "The sh**" is my favorite cuss expression. I'm probably evil, but I laugh so hard whenever I hear someone say that!

Great story, Sar.

We are thinking of naming our new dog Oakley. It is just such a cute name. Or maybe we will save the name for when we get our Iguana.
Kev
PS. I don't know how to spell iguana. If I was a real iguana lover I would.

Same question: Don't they monitor those calls?

MeL said...

Jake, what you should have said was, "that t-shirt was tie-dye for". Ha ha, I think I'm funny. Anyhoo, how is it that you always get the entertaining call, and whenever I have to call anywhere, I just get put on hold and then have the hold music stuck in my head the rest of the day!

Cute baby by the way.

clever miss, tie-die for.

#1 Your son is ADORABLE
#2 The fact that my hyperlink is titled with an "H" - makes me smile so much. I haven't forgotten about that.

Why are you so funny? I made my husband read your last post because it was so funny. I'm always excited to see if you have something new because I know I'll be entertained!
