NASA will send your name to the Moon

Written by Benz on Friday, May 09, 2008

Have you dreamt of going to the moon? Here’s you chance! NASA will collect names online and they will send your name to the moon! How cool is that? And even better you will receive a certificate showcasing your support of the mission. The names will be placed onboard the LRO spacecraft (it will be held on a microchip embedded into the spaceship's circuitry) for its historic mission. I guess this is the closest thing of me going to outer space. I mean I can't go there physically since Im not an astronaut but still this stuff is exciting. Imagine your name orbiting the moon over 360,000 km (220 000 miles) away…

The deadline is 27th of June 2008 so go over to the mission site and send your name.

I have signed up and below is my certificate. See you on board!

Yayness!

A day in the office- F*ck!

Written by Benz on Wednesday, March 26, 2008



I just have to blog this though its silly. The agent involved is actually a friend of mine. :)

Agent is having a hard time dealing with an irate customer while troubleshooting…

Customer: I want a technician now!
Agent: Sir, I understand but we need to perform some steps over the phone.
Customer: Your equipment is shit! I will throw it out of my window! You are useless! F*ck you!
Agent: I don’t appreciate your language, sir.
Customer: F*ck you!!!!!!!!
My friend turned the mute on, and shouted to her Coach,
"Coachie, help!  the customer is F*CKING ME!!!!! "… and everyone on the floor taking calls looked at her.

Wow! My friend sure knows how to attract attention. Hahahha I know how hard it is to deal with irate customers, so friend next time they curse you, f*ck them as well! hahahaha


Semana Santa

Written by Benz on Friday, March 21, 2008

Ohhh I hate my job big time! I have work today while everyone is out of the city enjoying the holiday break with their family and friends. My mom messaged me yesterday that the whole family will be spending the holy week in our vacation house in Batangas and I am the only one missing. Arrrgghhh I am sure everyone is having fun while me is stuck here in the city working. Not fair! Anyhoo, on my way to work I managed to snapped some photos of devotees who self-flagellate as expressions of penance in the streets. Ouch! Enjoy the holy week guys.

A Day In The Office Series-Who let the dog out?

Written by Benz on Friday, March 14, 2008


Looks like the amp is smiling or smirking?!?! Just my observation.


This is a call from an agent in the office trying to build rapport while troubleshooting.

Agent: Do you have a pet, sir?
Customer: Yes.
Agent: Is it a dog?
Customer: No! Why?
Agent: I heard a barking sound in the background.
Customer: F--k you! That’s my wife coughing!
Agent: Oh, I’m sorry sir.
Customer: I want to talk to your supervisor now!

Another escalated call hahahaa Bloopers in the office never fail to put a smile on my face. 


Burnt-out

Written by Benz on Thursday, February 28, 2008

I have been thinking long and hard about leaving the company. I feel so tired and I am not motivated to go to work. Its like dragging myself everyday to go to the office. I hate that feeling, not healthy. It used to be very easy to work in the office but things has changed. Lately management is requiring everyone to render mandatory e.t., which sucks big time. Staying in the office after the shift is the last thing in my mind. Aside from that the pressure is high to get good NQA score with low AHT. Duh! Just shoot me straight in the head! Everyone keeps on reminding the agents to keep focus and always on guard if our calls are being monitored. Give us a break for God sake. Management doesn't even have a bloody single clue what we are going through every time we take calls. Add to that is the freaking shifting schedule. I am not getting enough sleep. Can you imagine sleeoping for an average of 3-4 hrs a day?!?! I'm a walking corpse, seriously. Sooo frustrated. I should follow suit to Brent. Resign resign resign hahahaha Right now Im shopping around for good offers. We will see. On that note, let me log in to my jobstreet account. See ya! :)

A Day In The Office Series-There is a God!

Written by Benz on Monday, February 18, 2008



While troubleshooting with a customer somewhere in O-f*cking-HIO, U.S. of A.

Customer: Hmmm… Where are you located?
Benz: We’re located in Manila, Philippines.
Customer: Where???
Benz: In the Philippines.
Customer: Huh? Where is that?
Benz: *OMFG* The Philippines is in South East Asia. If you have a map we are just above Indonesia and Taiwan directly north.
*Gosh, someone needs to review his Geography*
Customer: Ahhh… I see… Do you have a television there?
Benz: I beg your pardon?
Customer: I said, Do you have a television in the Philippines. *Im not deaf for God sake, I just can’t believe what I just heard*
Benz: Errr…Yes!?
*Hold your breath, the next question is the killer!*
Customer: ohhh.. hmmmm … Do you have a God?
Benz: *Whatttt??? You gotta be kidding me!*

Can you guess what’s my answer to that question? hehehehe


Happy Hearts Day

Written by Benz on Thursday, February 14, 2008




Ohhh It's the time of the year again, on which you either feel shit and alone or compelled to do something with your other half if you have one. Do you agree? hehehehe Oh well, just enjoy the day and keep loving you all! 

Busy busy busy

Written by Benz on Thursday, February 07, 2008

My plate is sooo full this week I don’t have the time to update. LOL Got some friends who flew from London for a holiday and I have to show them around and all that. Anyhoo, will update soon! Promise. See ya!

A Day In The Office Series-Automated Phone System

Written by Benz on Wednesday, January 30, 2008



A call I received earlier today. I don’t need to elaborate. Trust me.

Benz: Thank you for calling _________. My name is Benz. May I have your phone number beginning with the area code, please?
Customer: Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot
Benz: Hello?! May I have your phone number beginning with the area code, please?
Customer: Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot
Benz: *Whattadafuck* Sir, please stop dialing the number on the phone.
Customer: Huh?
Benz: I need your phone number so I can pull up your account.
Customer: F*ck! What’s wrong with this Automated Phone System?
Benz: *What freaking phone system are you talking about!?!?!* Absolutely nothing, sir. I just need you to give me your phone number.
Customer: OHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDD! Am I speaking to a live person?
Benz: *Eyes rolling* Errr…Yes!?
Customer: Are you sure you’re not a machine?
Benz: Faints... LOL 

Ooopsy!

Written by Benz on Saturday, January 26, 2008



I’m busted! I just found out this evening that our helper arranged my stuff in my bathroom cabinet. So what, right? But the thing is, she even managed to sort my packs of condoms! LOL It’s not really a big deal for me as a matter of fact I find it hilarious but I’m worried for her. You know, she is still virgin with the ways of the world (as far as I know) so I can imagine what’s going on her mind whilst arranging my “THINGS”. My packs of condoms (supplied by my very liberated mom. Yes, you heard me right, my mommy! LOL) contains very graphic illustrations (leaves nothing to your imagination!) unlike the pack of condoms you buy locally where you only have the boring-black-and-white visual. As if it’s important right? LOL Anyway at least my things are clean and organized now…. by flavors. LOL

Here we go again…

Written by Benz on Sunday, January 20, 2008

My new schedule for this quarter was rolled out today. I have to bid adieu to my 7am to 4pm shift and welcome the stressful hours of 9pm to 6am shift. Urgh! My body clock will be screwed up again. If you work in a call center, you’re probably used to the shifting schedules, right? But not for me! I hate transition big time. Why? Well, night shift means no more barkada night out... abnormal sleeping hours… irregular day offs… and no social life. Wahhh just kill me now, please. This shift is prone to E.T. or mandatory overtime as well so better expect longer phone time on the floor. Tsk tsk tsk Im sure brent can relate to this LOL But on the other hand I will receive more thanks to higher night differential pay, which is always good! $$$$ Oh well, enough ranting its 11am and I need to catch some sleep. ZZZZzzzzzz

Did you know?

Written by Benz on Friday, January 18, 2008



The word "sex" was coined in the year 1382.
(Just curious… what’s the term before that? Any idea? Hmmm…)

The Heartbreak Kid

Written by Benz on Tuesday, January 15, 2008


I was invited last night to watch the advance screening of The Heartbreak Kid starring Ben Stiller at Megamall. It was a boring Monday night so I decided to join the gang. I really don’t know but I’m so disappointed with the Farrelly brothers, the same guys behind the hits there’s Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber. This one failed to reach my expectations. Some scenes are poorly executed and the jokes are lame. I tell you the movie is painful to watch. Me being so harsh now eh? hahaha Oh well Ben Stiller is always great. He is hilarious as usual. I fucking love his breakdown scene with the Mexican band. LOL You gotta see that part. Anyway; just watch the movie and let me know what you think.

By the way, a big thanks to my good friend DJ Justin Ray of 103.5MAXFm for the invite, you’re the best!

Purple Pepper

Written by Benz on Monday, January 14, 2008



Ohhh lookie lookie what I found, a purple bell pepper! It may not come as a surprise to most of you guys but this is the first time that I have seen such kind. Probably I’m the last one to know that such variety exist. Where have I been all this time? Oh well there’s always a first time for everything. I always thought they come in green, yellow, orange or red but oh boy I was wrong! They even come in white, purple, blue, and brown, depending on when they are harvested and the specific cultivar. How enlightening!

 

At first glance I thought it’s an eggplant! Really! Hahaha How am I supposed to know? I’m not a vegetable expert.

A day in the office…

Written by Benz on Thursday, January 10, 2008


My Pod .... what a boring work station :)

A post about work, yes people I work! LOL I’m a technical support representative for a direct home satellite provider in the States. So basically I take calls everyday to assist customers with their technical issue. Just so you know its not a glamorous job. This type of job requires a lot of patience I tell you. I mean you sit all day and be bombarded with calls from unsatisfied customers while me trying to be empathetic and all even though your sick and tired of hearing all their complaints. Most of them irate callers ready to eat me alive. Frustrated callers who keep on blaming me for all the difficulty they are experiencing though they are perfectly aware that I didn’t cause their problems. They will shout at you, they will curse you and name you names. Ohh blood never fails to run out of my ears! Just wanna share a call I received today.

Benz: Thank you for calling _________. My name is …(Customer interrupts)
Customer: I have a problem with my TV. It’s not working!
Benz: I’m sorry to hear that … (Customer interrupts me again)
Customer: Me too!!!
Benz: I understand where you’re coming from but …(Interruption again! tsk tsk)
Customer: No, you don’t. Just do your freaking job and fix my problem, will you?
Benz: Sure, not a problem (At this point I’m starting to get irritated, the biatch is sooo demanding!)
Customer: So what should we do? I don’t have time for this.
Benz: ok just to verify … (Yes, I was interrupted...again for I dont know how many times now! Shit! How can I do my job if you keep on butting in! Geeezz)
Customer: You’re useless!
Benz: Can you just please tell me exactly what’s on your screen? (trying my very best to keep my composure.)
Customer: Just a black screen. No picture!
Benz: I need you to press the power button on the remote.
Customer: Its working now.
Beep beep beep …Customer hang up.


Urggh the nerve of that bitch hanging up on me without even thanking me for helping her realize that she’s a big stupid dumbass. Im so pissed!

Hady Mirza – 1st Asian Idol

Written by Benz on Friday, January 04, 2008



I’ve been playing Hady Mirza’s album for a few days now non-stop. I just downloaded the album just last week. I really don’t know why since there’s nothing special about the album, the tracks are mostly revivals. Oh well at least there’s something new to play in my playlist LOL. What’s Left is my fav track. Btw he just recently won the Asian Idol competition in Jakarta-he represents Singapore (I miss Singapura- I want to go back there soon!)

This TV ad literally knocked me off my seat-big time! This stuff is fucking hilarious I tell you. I heard this ad is highly noted and won numerous awards and now I know why. How can you not love this kind of ad? I mean the storyline is superb, the cinematography is amazing and the cast, oh boy they are highly amusing. Just looking at the lady makes me want to shit in my pants laughing. Just see for yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
