I just worked with two straight representatives on the phone and both spoke English!

This is going to be a good day. If I don't get killed by a bad driver or something. I moved some money around this morning and talked to two bank representatives at two different financial institutions...and I mean human beings, not bots. My wait times were short, and both were from the US and spoke English! I got done what needed to be done. Now I'm off to Guitar Center to teach some music lessons. Yes, it was pouring (rain) this morning, but it is quiet and still now. How has your Tuesday shaped up so far?

I've been getting ready for Indictment Day. Today was a false alarm.

@xander6464 I remember Prohibition. Nancy said "Just say no." It was brilliant. Simple and elegant.

Well, there turned out to be one disappointment. But I'm not going to talk about it. I did not get killed and my students were fun.

Wow either you were extremely lucky, or perhaps financial institutions are starting to pick up on the fact that customers like to talk to real people?

@TheHorse I wouldn't trust anyone yet, a sample size of one is not enough to change your behaviour!

It changed later in the afternoon. But I did not get killed and am safe at home. Guitar Center was fun.

Guitar Center was good. I still have a few hurdles to deal with before I can relax.
