Life’s Daily Inspiration “In Let Me Off The S.S. Minnow” Please!

Life’s Daily Inspiration “Let Me Off The S.S. Minnow” Please

Anyone besides me remember the S.S. Minnow from the show Gillian’s island? I use to love to watch that show. One of those old shows that kept us kids entertained and you didn’t have to worry what they were watching.

If you remember the way the story went they were suppose to be going on a 3 hour tour which once they were marooned turned into years. This could have been a Life’s Daily Inspiration if they hadn’t got stranded on a deserted island. A real no,no, in my book.

I told you all that to set up this part of my 3 hour tour I’ve been on for the last 3 days dealing with a “Tablet” customer service. “The One Who Must Not Be Named.”Lol

Wednesday on the 25 of this week I got my mom up. Bathed and dressed. Did all the things we ladies like to do with our routines and then gave her breakfast. And threw myself together and off we went.

I load and unload wheel chair and we go in The Store, “Who Must Not Be Named. “ Oh, sorry I guess I was thinking about Harry Potter, Now I’m wondering if that could be a sign I’m getting Alzheimer’s, what the heck where was I.

Where a young man asks if he can help, I swear he doesn’t look old enough to work or shave. But, being my sweet little self I preceded to explain that my mom has Alzheimer’s and can no longer use her “Tool that must not be named” That I gave her 3 years ago. And can he unlock it and ready it for me to start new on it.

I went prepared with a copy of her power of attorney and her ID for proof. That should be enough surely. Not!!!

This cute little young man, I wasn’t inspired by that, informs me he can’t help me.

That I will have to call “The one who must not be named” because their site support handles that directly.

So I load up poor old mom head home after buying her an ice cream cone, the bribe for going along with this trip and missing the Judge Judy show.

So talking on the phone is very hard with a person with Alzheimer’s they like to be entertained. Or they may entertain you and not of the inspiring kind. And that’s all I’m saying.

I got up early the next morning to call the 1-800 number BR549 just kidding, called them and talked to lovely sounding lady where we went through mom’s security question 3 time finally she said she would email me a verification email. But, I would have to wait 24 hours and It would come around 630 am and be good for 3 hrs. Great News progress what’s one more day.

Next morning I’m up at 6 waiting on that email, I have to get things done while mom sleeps. I got the email and proceeded to follow the direction which led me to change my sign in and my password. But, I had been told to follow the directions so I thought ok whatever.

Well If you guessed,it did nothing then give the man/woman a button. You’ve guessed it. Are you feeling life’s daily inspiration yet? Neither was I. It’s nine o’clock am now. So I call “The One Who Must Not Be Named.”

And go through The Whole Story again, I promise you I’m telling you the truth I can’t make this stuff up. I’m not that good.

So this time a get a dream of a voice on the line, only I’m to old for that crap. So on we trudge hammering out this horrible mistake, and dreamy is soo sorry,

He will verify the account but, you guessed it I will have to wait 24 hours again before the horrible misunderstanding can be cleared up.

At which time I inform Mr dreamy voice I would like to speak to a supervisor please I say in my most professional voice. Or so I think.

On came Carl the supervisor and Again I go through the whole story and again I am told there was a horrible mistake as he read the other techs notes. After several minutes he says. I’m confused are you trying to reset username and password? Yes I am.

Well I can do that I don’t know what they were thinking about.

And after giving him mom’s email address he gave me the needed codes.

And at 11 am I hung up glad to be off this 3 day tour whew, moral to my story for your very own inspiration.

Never Ever Call “The One Who Must Not Be Named”Or Voldemort might be on the other line, Just hang up!

Blessings,

I hear you, I hate when you have to call an agency and place the number game (from the following option:), then go on hold for what seems like an eternity. Finally a live voice answers and the line goes dead. I we could give up some of the automation, employee any and everyone that wants a job, our tax base would go up, we could have more services, employ more people. When is this concept so hard to understand. So I digress a lot, anyway glad your 3 hour tour docked safely. Oh and I loved Gilligan's Island, an old time classic.
Mary

Well said and we just love those old shows , such a difference in what’s being aired now .
Thank you for stopping by .

Hey Scarlett and Elaine.
Sounds like when I have to deal with the government.They make a mistake with my check and the amount is changed/lowered instantly but for me to get reimbursed it takes 80-120 days!!

Tried and True

Elaine

Some those who work with "the one who must not be named" are trying to make their life as simple as possible because they have a sense of it being about them and and not the customer.
Jerry

Yes you are right I had to wonder how 3 people misunderstood. I think they just didn’t want to fool with it to much effort.

Scarlett and Elaine

My Mom had alzheimers as well so I understand what you are going through. Most people do not understand that getting "Mom" out of her routine is not good for her or the caregiver.
Jerry

The good old run around. Like Gilligan's Island every time they thought they were going to get off the island something would hold them back.

That was it exactly I was so frustrate but, it all worked out just took three days, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Many Blessings,
Scarlett and Elaine

Dear Saint E
When ever or where ever one lives in dealing with Powers of Attorney and one thinks you have all the necessary papers
or signatures some one will always go over them wanting to find a problem Grrr and come up with a reason why the rules have not been kept .. So I admire you for your perseverance .Thanx for sharing
David

Thanks David, I was frustrated only to be put off each time.
I am like a bulldog when I think I am right.

Scarlett and Elaine

How important it is to be inspired every day, to be motivated to press on--upward and forward! Beautiful.

Thanks Robert I had a problem being inspired by the end of the day.
Blessings,
Scarlett and Elaine

Yes, I know that happens. But be encouraged today. Keep looking up.

Gilligans Island was an ancient predecessor to the island survivalist shows of today!

Yes, but it was just a good old clean show wasn’t it,
Blessings,
Scarlett and Elaine
