Okay, so I was playing the waiting game today on the phone to have a simple registration question answered for a class I am taking this summer. They have this new automated system that is like calling "Moviefone", but this one doesn't work quite as well. Also, the school only gives this new number out on the site. SO, my question is, don't these people already do enough of nothing all day? I mean is it so hard to answer a phone call from a student who is attempting to get an education? This of course set my rant off today, mainly because it's a state-funded school. I hate government funded business and the like. They are the worst of them all for customer/client/student service. I mean it's like going into Walmart, you know? Where have to twist the greeter's arm to acknowledge you and say a simple phrase, "Hello, Welcome to Walmart!" That's their job! That is what they supposed to be getting paid for! I can count the times I have actually been greeted by an employee at Walmart on one hand. No joke!
Anyways, let's get back to the government side of this discussion. These people know they would really have to screw up to lose their jobs, so they just don't do anything instead. I think maybe our government funded employees in this country need a little help with the sociability aspect of their work. Maybe how to ACTUALLY WORK too. Now, don't get me wrong. I know there are great people in these professions that really work the hardest at making sure they do all they can to help you. Unfortunately though, they are very far and in between. Let me just close with these last few remarks. I just want everyone to know that I am not a pessimistic type of person. I believe whole-heartedly that all people inherently possess good in them. I mean, it's in our "spiritual pedigree". It just saddens and frustrates me that these things happen all day, everyday, everywhere. Why is it (mostly) that when the government runs something, it just flat out sucks?
