17 May 2006The advantage of Anytime MinutesIn the previous entry, I reported that some poll or other had determined that IT is the most stressful job on earth. This determination may well have been premature. It certainly looks like customer service in Gaza might be worse:
Palestinian gunmen stormed the headquarters of mobile company Jawwal in Gaza on Tuesday in protest at having their phones cut off, employees said.
They said around 20 gunmen entered the building saying their cellphone memory cards were not working. A short while later they began shooting, damaging over 10 computers but causing no casualties. Jawwal is the mobile subsidiary of Palestinian telecoms firm PalTel, which operates in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. I can't imagine this happening Stateside. Not even to Cingular.

During the last days of our affiliation with AT&T Wireless, the thought of taking that kind of ... affirmative action, might have been appealing. Cingular's actually been pretty good to us. But then, if our health insurance outfit had performed like AT&T Wireless, we'd find CFI Care to be incredibly warm and compassionate by comparison.
