Catch it here: Elsa and the Fortune 50 Corporate America Scam – Introduction
My certified mail arrived at the company headquarters and my phone rang within an hour. I missed the call, but the girl with the impressive title left me a voicemail and they confirmed that I had a letter and they took care of everything quickly. Being a man of my word, I never thought he would fail. He left a note on my phone, right?
I had two messages. I intended to return another call, but I dialed a company gal error. I recognized him when he raised his voice. Wow!
He was shocked and instantly fake, shy and welcoming. “Elsa! I left you a message.”
“Yes, I see. Thanks. And I’m ashamed to say, there were two messages and I dialed the wrong number. I was trying to call another girl . . .”
Inconvenient.
I included this because it’s funny and the tone stays throughout the whole test. I am a real person, in touch with the machine. This is high comedy from my point of view. Real truth collides with fake lies, time and time again. Elsa is driving around corners and scraping things in her truck.
Am I perfect? No. But after that embarrassment, I went on with my day, confident that the problem was in the right hands. Mentally I gave it a week to ten days. I’m not a bully. Fix the problem and we’re good.
Within a few days I received a nice email. The company is focused on this. They work as fast as possible. I’m a twisted kid, actually. That was my impression. I don’t like that feeling. I want to fix the notebook, but still. Things were going in the right direction. I thought he was referring to the hologram and I let him ride for a short time.
Time passed and I clicked on it. I was surprised when he responded with a written confession of the felony. How did it happen …
“We’ll fix it right away.”
“We are fixing this as soon as possible, we are working hard for you.”
“We know we committed this crime and we shouldn’t have done it, so we’re going to fix it.”
Hop. So why isn’t it fixed? I had no idea. But I’d rather avoid a fight if possible, so I chose the path of least resistance and gave him more time.
I could be patient because I knew I was right. I’ve been hooked on Royal Flush since day one. If they have to “go legal” and look in their filing cabinets to figure it out; be my guest But the excuses and delays continued. Impatient, I followed them.
