The Friday Five... I'm doin it!

[susandennis]

spacefem is now in charge and so I've decided to join the thefridayfive!


1) What's the best customer service experience you've ever had?

Actually two. The one that was always the very best every single time was 1-800-Contacts. I haven't worn contacts for years now but back when I did, they were the creme de la creme. Second place was Zappos. I'm not sure they are as good as they were but one time, a customer service rep, after helping me out of a mess that I had caused, sent me a present to thank me for letting her help me.

2) What's a very reliable item that you own?

I'd have to say, right now, it's my Google Mesh Router. It's never even come close to failing, not even once. Wild, because I'm used to fragile routers.

3) What's something that wore out, but you replaced it with the same thing?

My GE Advantium Oven. I didn't even wait until it was totally worn out. Once it showed me the first sign of sad, I checked to make sure I could get a new one if I wanted. I could and so I did. No regrets. I love that thing.

4) Have you ever left an online review of something you bought?

Plenty of them. Especially if the item does not have that many. If it's more than 1,000 I usually don't bother.

5) What's a book you've read more than once?

Not in a long time but when I was a teenager, I used to read Gone With The Wind every fall and and Désirée by Annemarie Selinko every spring. I did that for probably 7 or 8 years.

Awe thanks! I won’t be asking the questions every week but I am in the rotation :)

Isn’t gone with the wind a little problematic?

[susandennis]

Incredibly problematic! But not in the 50's ad 60's in the South where I was. Desiree, in retrospect, was not much better. But, I was young and didn't know shit.

Personally, I don't think the way to deal with works time has not treated kindly is to not read them. I read GWTW several times as a teenager, enjoyed the storytelling very much, and learned a hell of a lot about the attitude of the South without being infected by it. The opposite, if anything.

Interesting, I did wonder what Google Mesh was like.

[susandennis]

It's almost exactly like the Eero router but just a little more solid. Honestly, after fighting routers for years, I've nearly forgotten about it. It just sits there and does it's good work.

1. Team One Nissan in Albertville, AL, where I bought my current car. It was the best experience we've ever had and we will definitely go back there for future car needs.

2. Our electric can opener. It was a wedding gift and still going strong after almost 25 years.

3. shoes. I find a brand I like a stick with it. Right now all of my shoes are Skechers

4. yes, see #1. We also left a review online for our tour guide in the Bahamas. She was awesome!!!

5. Rick Riordan's books, the Narnia Chronicles, The Harry Potter series, The Bible . . . I reread lots of things
