American Customer Service is Dead in Europe

Customer service in Europe is lazy! The customer is not important. Europeans sit on their hands and do nothing. They are full of shoulder shrugs. I love Europeans.

I am an American living in Europe. As some of you know, Europe is not America. Sure they have a stronger currency that we do, which makes it quite difficult to live here.  But…

One thing Europe is not better at than America is customer service.

Dummies of the Year has appeared to be neglected for the last couple of months. It wasn’t my choice. Europe basically shut me down because they are slower than molasses in February.

I signed up for phone/internet service 7 weeks ago. I was informed that it would take 3 weeks to be connected. Then they sent me a letter in the mail telling me I would finally be connected on week 8!!

Easter is just right around the corner and you know what that means. What? You’re not a Christian or an American Pagan? Since you don’t know what that means then I’ll tell you.

Easter Eggs!

Hunting Easter eggs can be quite fun. *Eating them are even better! But how annoying is it to take that eggshell off? Well I am going to share an easy tip that will have that eggshell off the egg in 5 seconds flat.

Undress Your Egg Super Quick

1. Grip you egg firmly in your hand.
2. Crack the bottom of the eggshell by gently smashing it on a hard surface.
3. Repeat step two on the other end of the shell.
4. Remove any broken shell and discard.
5. Hold the exposed egg up to your mouth. Make sure to take your empty hand and so it is in place, ready to catch the egg.
6. Blow on the egg.

If you did this correctly the egg should come flying out of the opposite end and land in your hand. Believe it or not these 6 steps should only take 5 seconds.

Enjoy that Easter Egg! Oh, and what is your favorite way to eat eggs? Share in the comments.

*Eggs, unless deviled, are completely gross! YUCK!

UPDATE: It Is May 21, 2011 and Not One Single Person Has Been Raptured!

Where is the massive earthquake?  Why aren’t people being carried up into heaven?  Because Harold Camping was wrong… again (recall 1994).

I want to laugh and I will a little but at the same time I am a little aggravated with Camping.  Whether he did this intentionally or was honestly sincere, the bottom line is that he screwed with people’s lives.  Not mine of course because I didn’t buy his false prophecy for one second.

I hope his followers quit following him and can move on with life!  Life here is grand and besides, Jesus called people to make disciples of him and not to go about screaming about the end of the world.

Original Post

I thought I would inform you that the world is apparently going to end this May.  May 21st to be exact.  Make sure you live it up over the next couple of months.  All I can say is that it sure has been a fun ride…

End Times Prophet

Who is this end times prophet that has predicted the end of the world?  His name is Harold Camping.  He is an 89-year-old man who has come up with a mathematical formula (from what I understand, feel free to correct me) for predicting the rapture of God’s people.

Do Me a Favor

If you truly believe that the world will end on May 21, 2011 then please feel free to empty your bank account and deposit your money into mine.  I would be more than happy to put a paypal donation button on Dummies of the Year.

So Dummies readers, what will you do with the last couple of months you have left here on earth?  Share in the comments!
