snark is good, right?

You know, maybe part of the reason no one wants to hire me is because my Live Chat skills are just not up to par. I just had to use a website’s Live Chat tool because I couldn’t log into my account, and the conversation was peppered with things like:

Received: Please do not worry.
Received: I will surely help you login to your account.
Received: Thank you so much for all the valuable information and verifying your account details.
Received: I am more than happy to know that you were able to login to your account successfully.
Received: Have I resolved your issue today?
Received: I wish you all the very best in finding your dream job.

How very polite and helpful! Much more helpful than I ever was when manning the Live Chat windows:

Client: I’m trying to use your program on a Mac
Kimli: I’m sorry, but our system is PC-based – our Mac-compatible tools are still in the alpha stage
Client: Is there a program I can download that will make it work?
Kimli: Yes .. Windows.

Snort. One more thing for me to worry about, I suppose – that I can’t find another job because I am just too snarky.

In other news, it’s looking more and more likely that I will be going through the holiday season unemployed. Hooray! If you eat spam with cranberry sauce, is it close enough to turkey?
