Overstocked, underwhelmed.

It's nice to know that incredibly inept customer service can bring people from all over the globe together. I'm beginning to feel like part of one big unhappy family. Maybe we could start having a reunion every year.

Actually,
maybe I need to call the White House and see if I can make that case to the State Department.

And it's even bringing me fame, if not Fortune. Check out the third comment to my last Overstock rant. If you go to the first link page and do a search on the page for "boba" it will take you to the two mentions of my blog.

And this is the second time I've been described as funny. I'm starting to like that! But for REAL funny, use the second link and read about the "Phantom Menace." Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking anytime you have the CEO of a large online retailer send an email to a Fortune writer and ask her;
"So, why exactly did you become a reporter? Giving Goldman traders blowjobs didn't work out?", you've got the makings of a good HBO sitcom.

I'm not sure why the commenter attached the Fortune link, (I mean it's not about me, hello) but it is entertaining reading, especially in light of how warm and cuddly I'm feeling toward Overstock.com.

Will you sign my 88-page Cingular bill that I had to call four times to get corrected? I've never met a famous person before. :)

Ok, so you didn't write it.

But you had good delivery. That counts for something, right?

I thought you were funny the first time and once again. But as they say in the Viagra ads, can you keep it up?

Somethings are just bigger than we are. I'm not sure I can as funny as Overstock.com's issues.

Of course, I can try.
