TRAPPED IN BLOGGER HELL!

I'm just coming up for air, gasping, really. I've been trying for the past three days to get this blogger mess straightened out. As you can see, I managed to get back into my blog, but this may be a one-deal like the last time.

I still don't know what I did right or wrong, or what's different....but what I DO know is that the support from Google and/or blogger is non-existant. I don't know if they were any more helpful when they were smaller and still trying to get established, but now that they seem to own a considerable piece of the internet world they sure as hell don't have time to help the 'customers' with any problems.

It's a shame, but customer service seems to have disappeared in many areas of today's world. Talking to a real person is a challenge, and sometimes proves impossible. Unfortunately, even when you do get a real person, very often all they do is spout their carefully written speech with no regard for you as an individual or your particular problem. I can't count the number of times I've sent an email to a company regarding a problem, and all I get back is "answer #347", even though I've carefully explained that I've already tried steps 1,2,3, and 4, and that I'm still having a problem. Wouldn't it be just as easy to have someone answer my specific question the first time instead of going back and forth with three, four, maybe more emails????

They say that the U.S. has changed from an industrial nation into a service industry nation, but really, where's the service? Last time I check most of it had been out-sourced to Pakistan, or somewhere equally remote, where I could barely understand the person who wasn't really interested in helping me.

For now I'm just posting this so that you'll understnad why the posts are few and far between. We took a drive today and I shot some nice pictures, but who knows if I'll be able to log back in tomorrow to post them or not. Wish me luck... progress is hell.
