Can you beleive that Quebec is still fighting the issue of not allowing margarine into their province that is coloured yellow?


GEEZ, and I though my country had civil unrest. I guess all I have to do is look north to realize how good I really have it. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif

Speaking of Ralph... One time I took a girl to a ball game. I asked her what I could get her from the concession stand. Her reply: "Just a wiener" - To which I replied "Oh good, you're a ONE wiener girl, the kind I can bring home to meet mom."
She didn't quite know how to respond to that /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/surprise.gif

Sounds to me like Nancy is a multiple wiener gal who doesn't care what color her margarine is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/puke.gif

Well come on boys.... let the old guy know what he's saying....

 

Just remember.... if a tree fall in the forest and there's nobody there to hear - is Ralph still a wiener?

 

 

Jim, I'd love to post what he had said over on Inford but it looks like they deleted pretty much all of it by the time I got back to it tonight.

Hmmmm, maybe Ralph is cooling his jets too..

 

I get the feeling that Ford just doesn't know how to take me... they want to hear me say what I have to say without having to hear it the way I say it...

 

One of our best assets is to retain the identity of being a customer.... Everything we do - everything we don't do - we should do it as if we were the customer....

 

Would I want <that> done to me?

 

As far as trades are concerned, ours involves much more trust than others... A plumber can point to an obviously new pipe or valve..... An electrician to a new switch or fixture (or to the fact that what didn't work now does).... We, as techs, can change stuff that can't be seen.... We can fix "something" that "stole" the owners focus (this is the insidious part) and without the old problem as a focal point, we can now see this "new" concern.... And that means we didn't do anything.

 

How did I arrive at this idea? How many times have you done NVH only to find that it is up to you to decide which one of the 47 concerns you have experienced is the customer truly having a problem with....

Jim, It sounds like you have been bounced off again? Are customers actually allowed in the forums where techs are trying to communicate?

 

I have to agree with you; the more I learn the more that I realize how little I know. Oh, to be a teenager again when I knew everything !

Yep - bounced again... No - customers can't get into "InFord".. The wiener I call "Ralph" is a tech that should know better than to pretend that he has seen nearly everything there is to be seen... Apparently, I have given him his 15 minutes of "fame".

 

FWIW, I am constantly warning folks that I am an asshole... and I refuse to change...

That is what I love most about you Jim! If for no other reason they should be glad you are around simply for the entertainment value of your posts. God forbid they extract anything from your wisdom and experience. Personally, I think your Achilles Heel is your love for the sport of it!
