A rant to all Americans who think they are the centre of the known Universe

·         Please don’t leave me a voicemail telling me you are from xxxx school district – I have no idea where that is, or indeed what you expect me to do about it.

·         Linked to the above – if you don’t tell me a location don’t get p!ssed at me when I can’t figure out what time zone you are in and return your call at an inconvenient time

·         If you insist on paying by cheque* then please for the love of god tell me the goddam name of the person you are paying for. I’m dealing with hundreds of registrations here. I don’t have time to do the detective work to match this crap up.

·         Also linked to the above quoting my own account number back at me on the cheque, in lieu of an invoice is not helpful. At all.

·         Finally; and this really is THE most important thing in the universe, ever. I hold a special place in hell for people who write professional correspondence in Comic Sans font. I seriously want to hurt you. Very badly.

Yes it has been a fun day at work!

* We have many ways of paying money now that don’t involve stupid pieces of paper. I give you many many options on my carefully orchestrated website. So if you are going to insist on using technology from the 18^th Century then at least spell the bloody word right!
