  • Parts crisis

    From Utopian Galt@21:4/108 to All on Tue Dec 7 20:13:34 2021
    The parts shortage issue is making my time at a leading auto makers call center very unplesant. They need to come up with reasonable solutions to protect customer loyalty AND offer some reasonable alternatives to get these customers taken care of.

    I know its not fun having your car inopertable. I wish I could make these parts magically appear.

    The parts shortage issue is making my time at a leading auto makers call center very unplesant. They need to come up with
    reasonable solutions to protect customer loyalty AND offer some reasonable alternatives to get these customers taken car
    of.

    I know its not fun having your car inopertable. I wish I could make these parts magically appear.

    A city in which one of my main jobs is located has an important car industry, and they are closing production lines and
    reopening them every other week because there is no prime matter for making auto parts (much less a full car).

    I guess I should get my horses saddle trained. The big issue there is my big one is just too big to be comfortable to ride.
    She has such a wide back :-(

    Adjust the stirrups so that they are higher. Ride like a
    jockey!

    Id rather spend time in an evangelical christian church than to work at a call center.

    That kind of sucks.

    Spanish riding style does not match well with short stirups. That is for people doing "Classic" (aka posh English riding). Spanish riding is for people wearing armor and shooting indigens from horseback, so it is tailored to be stable and well placed on the saddle :-)

    I brought my RV to Camping World to replace a roof A/C. They told me it was 30 - 38 weeks out before they could get one. I immediately phoned the Winnebago parts dealer in Forest City, Iowa and they had 6 in stock. Then the problem was to get Camping World to procure it from them. It tool several calls and emails before they finally did order it for me. By the time they did finally order it, there were only 3 in stock.

    Not a fan of Camping World.

    You can't ask the horse won't change (a wide back). ;)

    So.. the best you can do is adapt. Maybe you can establish a
    new fighting style: the unsuspected jockey crouching tiger!

    I am afraid she has a different plan.

    She says she wants to get on top of me and have me scratch her belly while she presses me against the fence. She also says she won't let me go untill she has had enough belly rubs.

    I think her point is that if I won't ride her, she will ride me.

    She is like a cute, fluffy dominatrix :-S
