it's AMAZING how much it matters...

so, i need to get a transcript from ucsc for this interview thing i have on friday. i called the registrar's office, and didnt even realize that i was at all tense until the woman there picked up, and started talking to me nicely and joking with me, and i literally felt my body relax. then, she transferred me to another person at the school who was JUST as friendly and helpful as the first woman.

and i realized something.

being nice goes a loooong way. and i really have been lacking that here in new york. i mean, im sure youve all heard me rant about how rude the majority of people are out here. i mean, there really is no such thing as "customer service" at ALL. and its depressing. and lately, even when a cashiere says "hello" to me i feel better about my transaction.

but it wasnt until just now that i experienced ACTUAL customer service that i remembered how it once was. that makes me sad about new york....and miss santa cruz....aw...
