It's all experience
Go for it next time armed with what you've learned and see what happens.

I was aiming for Maladicta but missed
But yes, it's worth remembering. Possibly.

you were aiming for another girl but hit me instead
that tends to happen a lot :/
( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 18 Dec 2009, 19:48, Reply)

But at least you get hit
Just don't see second best syndrome as a stigma.

It's usually me who's second best, so I'm quite surprised.

( Maladicta, Fri 18 Dec 2009, 20:01, Reply)

Second best
Is a long way from worst.

Except in cricket - as in "We had to rely on a fucking freak innings from Swann today to keep us only marginally second best."

I'm afraid to say I don't speak cricket :(

You're not missing much
Just another demolition.

It's never made any sense to me
- just looks like a more complicated version of rounders, which I hated at school (girls weren't allowed to play cricket).

Aye, they said it was very close - I only missed out by a couple of points which makes it all the more gutting.
I badly needed that extra couple of grand a year! They have given me A Project instead, though, and I now run my own little department, so I've not lost out completely, I just didn't have the complaints experience needed. Bah.

How much experience do you need to deal with complaints?
All you need to do is the opposite of what you've experienced when you've complained and been treated like shit.

To go into our customer service policy requires diagrams and all kinds of complicated stuff.
We are all about making them get the warm and fuzzies, and sadly I've spent too long minding envelopes and not long enough listening to them complain.

Tea cures all ills, no matter their cause.

I was suffering from cronic public transport use syndrome
then a cup of strong tea fixed my ills
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Fri 18 Dec 2009, 20:08, Reply)

Fortunately getting a bus an hour later than I usually would
solved all my public transport woes - no Crazy Staring Lady and no Man Who Smells Of Wee.
