How do you handle customer service?

Reason I ask is that I was in a situation this weekend that basically kept me from blowing up at anyone, no matter how wrong they were, I had to stand there, listen to people complain, scream and berate me and all I could say was "sir, I'm sorry for the delay, we're doing everything we can to take...

Back home for a weekend involving yet another tournament.... I saw some friends, had some drinks, a slew of laughs but still haven't been able to just kick back and be vegetational or something.

While the last two winters have been very tame in terms of the snowfall here in Amish Country, I still can't stand the stuff. Yes, I like running out and reliving some childhood snowmen, snowball fights, and one such instance where my friend Ryan shattered a car...

It's roughly 3 a.m. eastern and I'm toiling again with insomnia. It's more or less my lack of wanting to go to sleep at a rational time than it is actual sleep deprivation. I've run into a few friends that have SG accounts and I've always been somewhat curious in what to expect.

No, I'm not just a random lurker looking at the pictorials on...
