To: Seamus Leahy

Good morning, Seamus:

We recently sent you some very important email information on (February 6th & April 3rd) with a couple of followup phone calls. We previously provided this informaiotn [sic] to [previous person with the name misspelled]. This could have proved to be very beneficial for your organization’s valuable website, and for some reason or other, you chose not to respond to these significant messages! Unfortunately, we consider that as a lack of professional courtesy, and of good communications skills on your part..

It’s probably not your fault - there are literally thousands of people, like you, in the business world today who don’t know how to communicate properly! You just happen to be one of them. That’s why we also created a popular 1/2 hour T.V. program, called “Communicating Today”, on Ch 10, Fairfax Cable, which is designed to help people, like yourself, to become better, more courteous communicators! We suggest that you watch this program, asap - because you could benefit from it! It “airs” on Sundays @ 3:30 pm, Fridays @ 6:30 am and Wednesdays @ 8:30 pm.

“Here’s to better, and more courteous communicating”!

Thanks, Seamus.

Enjoy watching “Communicating Today” this weekend!

Will I watch “Communicating Today?” Heck no.

Even if they did call and email, which I do not remember, it is nothing personal because the number of cold calls I get is absurd.

UPDATE

I can’t believe I did not recognize the name earlier. Yes this person does call and leave emails all the time! Our receptionist has become very familiar with him. From what I have learned, he started calling my organization well over five years ago and we have never purchased anything. After a few months of not calling us, he starts again. But, the kicker is he starts by asking for essentially my predecessor’s predecessor’s predecessor. After a few attempts of being told the person no longer works here, he then remembers the next person. The patterns repeats until he remembers me.

While I was down at SXSW, he calls up and asks for me to which the receptionist tells him I am out for the remainder of the week. He called the very next day.

I have nothing against cold sales call as long as they stop once it is clear that there is no interest.

For those who do not know, CareFirst is a health insurance company.

I cannot help to wonder if this is related to a phone conversation I had two years ago with a CareFirst employee located in Baltimore Maryland.

Me: I keep receiving invoices which seem to be in error.

CareFirst: Please give me the invoice number.

…

CareFirst: There is no such invoice in the system for you. Is the return address from DC?

Me: Yes.

CareFirst: Just ignore it. They have no idea what they are doing in the DC office. They are always sending random documents and invoices to people.

your site is disgusting

worst site ever… slow.. wide(wtf) - and i’ve never complained about a site before.. id rather eat my own face then come back here.

…and I have never complained about a lack of capitalization. I am just kidding about the last part; it was too easy. Actually I am glad the person felt such a reaction he or she needed to locate my contact form to tell me about the emotional reaction resulting from using this site. Awesome.

Admittedly, my very first reaction was a mix of humor and disappointed. I could have said a smart ass comment but it loses its punch when not delivered in person and there is no real constructive purpose to it.

If the author does happen to read this (since the author did not leave a real name or email address), I have one request I want the author to answer:

Tell me your story—account, feelings, narrative, sensations—about your browsing journey with this site: preamble of your browsing, how and why you came to the site, your journey through this site, and finally the immediate and long term departure from this site.

“How many people, including myself, currently live in my household? One—I live alone.

So that is their special ingredient they cook in to their pizza—people!

“Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. ³¹ One day the older daughter said to the younger, ‘Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. ³² Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.’ ³³ That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. ³⁴ The next day the older daughter said to the younger, ‘Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.’ ³⁵ So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. ³⁶ So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.”

Judges 3.20-23

“Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his summer palace and said, ‘I have a message from God for you.’ As the king rose from his seat, ²¹ Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. ²² Even the handle sank in after the blade, which came out his back. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it. ²³ Then Ehud went out to the porch ; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them. ”

1 Corinthians 10.7

“Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: ‘The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry.’”

In the bible that was in my sunday school class, it said “got up and had an orgy.” Very dirty.

Deuteronomy 23.1

“If a man’s testicles are crushed or his penis is cut off, he may not be included in the assembly of the LORD”
