Yesterday's Customer Service Week Quote:

“Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends” – Walt Disney

We also got another vaguely worded complimentary email. And on friday, we get a pizza lunch. I miss when we used to get mugs for Customer Service Week. I got a lot of good mugs that way.

We got another puzzle to turn in for a drawing. I didn't win either drawing.

Today's Customer Service Week Quote: "Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.-- Bill Gates" Also we got another vague congratulatory email from management.

I picked up this quote from an article about CSW at NJTransit, heh - "Rahway is known for two things, refineries and that other thing that isn't even in Rahway (it's in Avenel, lucky Avenel.)" -nj.com

I spent a lot of yesterday afternoon in paroxysms of frustration and wound up staying late just so I could get something actually finished. If it worked, I wouldn't mind so much that it takes so long. If it didn't take so long, I wouldn't mind so much that it doesn't work. It's sitting for an eternity for the opportunity to find out it's STILL screwed up that's driving me up the wall.

The winning swag so far for Customer Service Week is the $25 Amazon gift certificate. The two emails (one nonspecific positive message from management, one inspirational quote) impressed me slightly less.

The quote:

"Biggest question: Isn't it really 'customer helping' rather than customer service? And wouldn't you deliver better service if you thought of it that way?"
Jeffrey Gitomer

I did not win the drawing from Monday's crossword puzzle.

On an unrelated note, who wants Day of the Dead Chocolate Skulls? Mmmm... tasty!

Yes, it's Customer Service Week again. Monday morning we got a free hot breakfast (the emailed us Friday so we'd know. We were also asked to suggest a co-worker for WACTEO ("We Are Customers To Each Other") Award. Seriously, "Wacteo." Can't make this stuff up.

Later in the afternoon, we got a crossword puzzle. Correctly filled out puzzles to be entered into a drawing. Of course, finding the answer key sure cut down on the effort required...
