Quickest route to Milford, CT... through...
McCarthy: so at the top of my netflix queue is season 2 of dexter.
Me: okay
McCarthy: so i get an email this afternoon. they're sending me the disc from santa ana, california
McCarthy: whaaaaaaaaaat
McCarthy: first of all, it is a popular enough show that there are more than a handful of copies in their warehouses.
McCarthy: second of all, there HAS to be a better alternative than sending me a copy from about as far away as a fucking warehouse can be from my house
McCarthy: and the worst part? for some cockamamie reason, it won't ship out til tomorrow
McCarthy: they received my dvd this morning, and they aren't even sending it out on the same day. but they KNOW where it's coming from and to where it's going.
McCarthy: explain that to me
Me: somebody fuckin fucked up is what happened
McCarthy: YOU ARE RIGHT I'M CALLING
McCarthy: I'M FIRED UP NOW
two minutes later...
McCarthy: i failed, though
McCarthy: i wanted them to change it or give me a free rental
McCarthy: i failed on both fronts
Me: why did you accept failure
McCarthy: i should have called outside. i called from my desk at work and ultimately the hopelessness that saturates my workspace overwhelmed my ire
Me: they just said "no" and you said okay?
McCarthy: basically they were like 'um, that's not how it works'
McCarthy: and i was like 'well... it just... doesn't make a lot of sense... it's like about as far away as you can get.................. welp ok fair enough'
and five minutes later...
McCarthy: i think i'm going to mail a picture of a dead dog to netflix
McCarthy: with a note in magazine letters
McCarthy: YOu M4dE THI5 HAPPEn GABRIEL FROM CuST0MER SERVICE!!!
