I pulled this from an article I just read. I found out that Seattle doesn’t really get that much rain compared to most U.S. cities. In fact, Seattle ranks 44th among major U.S. cities in average annual rainfall, getting approximately 38 inches annually. Cities that get more rainfall than Seattle include such as Houston Texas (48 inches), New Orleans (60 inches), Mobile AL (65 inches), Memphis (52 inches), Nashville (48 inches), and pretty much every major city on the eastern seaboard, such as New York (43 inches), Philadelphia (41 inches), Miami (58 inches), and Boston (44 inches) Here is the thing about Seattle. The weather is perfect. I lived there and while it does rain more than Los Angeles, it is not a rainy place, not like New York, or Vermont where I swear unless it is snowing it is raining. Pissing down rain actually. In Seattle when it rains, it clears up and sunshine is there. So why not call it the sunshine state? Oh cuz Florida-which actually has more ...
And I'm not making a comment about the customer service reps, but on the corporations that send the jobs elsewhere, but you don't qualify, Stephanie. English has to be your second or third language, not your first.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true. I am all for equal employment, but if you can't speak the language for the country you are working for that is a problem. When I was in SF, my credit card was declined because the moron working in card services didn't understand that 2010 is next year, not last year. She kept saying, "you card is no more, expire" UGH!
ReplyDeleteI blame the corporations, they obviously don't want things to be resolved at all.
