I suppose now that the first baby boomer has begun collecting retirement benefits, there are no funds left over to run the Social Security Administration web site.

It’s such a comfort to know that all the money you are paying in interest on your auto loan is going to build a really robust customer service web site. Maybe all the IT folks had to go meet their new bosses in Abu Dhabi.

Hey Chase, I have a newsflash for you. Lots of people pay their bills during the weekend. Many of your customers have jobs and kids and tight schedules. Sunday is often a good day to take some time, catch up on things. I suppose it’s also a good time for your IT department to sleep in.

I should be more understanding. What do you have ,$60 billion in credit card loans? I guess you can’t afford to have anyone available during the weekend to fix your servers when they go down. Maybe you should let Amazon handle the transactions for your Chase Amazon.com card.

I am unable to continue doing business with you.

Nice going, Adobe. Friday at 11:00am EST is a GREAT time to go down for “scheduled maintenance.”

Really great 24 x 7 6.5 x 5 service from Verizon. I don’t go looking for this stuff. I was trying to resolve a problem I had with Verizon where they kept billing me for DSL for months after I switched to Speakeasy.

They shut down their web sites for the weekend and fly to tropical resorts in their private jets.
