I picked up the phone and didn't expect to hear what I heard. Rajeev (or George, as he called himself) from "Bell Canada Promotions Department" wanted to know if I was interested in some bullshit he had to pander to me. I asked him for his full name and Badge ID number and, surprise surprise, the "Promotions Department" of Bell Canada doesn't give out IDs. So I swore at him and then I put down the phone, and then I thought to myself ; what did Bell Canada promise me the last time I called to complain about this?
Bell Canada promised that, if I got a call from their promotions department after May 11th, I would be eligible to receive a letter of apology. I thought for a few seconds about obtaining this letter from them the other day, but then I thought, how long would it take for me to actually get someone to set one up for me? How genuine is this letter? Does Bell really care and are they really sorry that their promotions department in Pakistan called me ? (Thanks to an amateur, I have the street address of the promotions department, in case I wanted to egg the place. Either that or the guy is a pro and he fake-addressed me to Pakistan on a wild buffalo chase [there are no geese in Pakistan]). The answer to both the aforementioned questions is no. So why should I bother?
Second battle I decided not to fight was marginally less interesting, so it's not even worth mentioning. In all honesty, I can't even remember what it was about anymore. That's how fleeting life is. You get all red-faced about something one week and then a week later a bunch of hopefully-important things happen that eclipse all the petty stuff you endured poorly. Maybe I shouldn't be getting so red-faced in the first place.
