Anyways, she's peruvian. English is not her first language, and for this I suspect she sometimes says things that aren't quite what she means. Normally people just pass it off. Like the time she claimed her performance was sub par because her manager didn't give her enough time to drink blood.
Some things I can write off as cultural differences...like the way she never looks at a woman she's talking to, but will look at a man she's talking to and will look at women she isn't talking to.
In other cases...well, I have a tough time believing she isn't insane. Like the time she claimed she was chinese. I said she didn't look very chinese...and she said (and I quote) "Nenenenenene". And I asked "what's that supposed to mean?" and she told me that was chinese.
Today's performance took the cake, though.
Today our little center was visited by a one Charlie Ergen (owner of the company) and a United States Senator by the name of Arlen (sp?) Specter (sp?)
They had a little speech prepared, announcing some top secret stuff, and everyone was gathered in the auditorium and it all seemed to go ok, until they asked if anyone had any questions. Solidad raised her hand.
Before the senator could finish asking her name, Solidad starts in on a question about sattelites and going up to jupiter, and then, seemingly mid-sentence, busts out with a long string of....numbers. She sounded like a quarterback. "Eleven sixteen thirty ten one one five!! TWENTY TWO!!" this went on for about three minutes.
Then she got on all fours and crawled around in a circle barking like a dog. I wish I was making this up. The crowd was stunned in utter disbelief. You could practically FEEL the foreheads wrinkle as eyebrows were raised.
Then security broke in and hauled her off. Probably to a hospital.
And that's what made today interesting.
Does this mean I should get on all fours and bark in circles? [ 04-22-2003: Message edited by: Tegadil ]

some cable and cell phone companies will only make changes to service effective on the billing cycle date.
We make changes effective immediatly and Pro Rate the service from the time you change it through the time of your next billing cycle date and stick it on your next month's bill.
Even though we explain the process to them EVERY TIME someone makes a programming change, I would say about 80% of the time this happens people call in, often quite angry, asking why thier bill is higher than it should be.
of that 80%, about 70% don't even realize that the bill is itemized, even though we print "ITEMIZED ON BACK" at the bottom of the bill.

I thought this thread was about the Mount Solelidad controversey here in San Diego. Theres a cross ontop of the mountain, which is goverment property, and a bunch of athiests are geting all antsy about it and want it down. even the caption under the title made it sound like it was about that.
