I have been really enjoying the recession coz it hasn’t YET bitten me in the ass. I’ve been observing how things have been changing since the 4th quarter of last year – all of them good, for me at least.

For one, airfares have been dropping like bird droppings, which is awesome for me coz I love spur of the moment travelling.

Last week I went to Etisalat (my ISP) to transfer my DSL to a different location. I asked for an appointment Sunday. The technician calls me on Saturday, begging me to let him come over to fix it within 15 minutes. Who would’ve thought such a thing was even possible?! This is awesome.

Right when I was about to dismiss it as a coincidence, the cable guy called to ask if he can come by NOW to fix my new Showtime receiver, which was due THREE fucking days later! I hadn’t even finished the paperwork with them!

Ah, people are finally considering customer satisfaction, and what the customer REALLY wants. I’m just waiting for real estate to officially drop, so I can do my victory dance, and secretly pray I don’t get fired.
