@POTUS We do need to grow our economy…so where is the tax refund I filed in MARCH? Also why is the IRS a mess? Don’t the American people deserve better? I do my part paying taxes and following the law. Why doesn’t the government do its part? #getittogether #irsmess

Gorgeous scenery tonight #keywestliving https://t.co/AX1QMF1G46

@SenDuckworth YES fire him. Mail is slow and USPS is so unreliable and so disorganized it’s tough to resist saying #privatizepostoffice. These mail carriers are working so hard only to have administrators screw it up

[Kristine Book @kbookwrm]

@USPS has become an irrelevant American artifact. @amazon can’t even get an order out at all; let’s privatize the organization and give the responsibilities to @UPS What do you think @RepCheri? What’s the strategy here?

#roséandreading #roséallday Best day off ever. Great book and wine! @suemonkkidd Love this book so far for the strong female character Ana. This was a recommendation from a friend! https://t.co/GJdUgKyt9I

I really could use a girlfriend near by for style opinions. I love my guy friends but I need a shopping buddy! @TrunkClub I need some opinions, girls. #chelseaboots yay or nay? #stylinginspring #ditchstitchfix #girlfriendsaregreat

@amyklobuchar @JoeBiden I’m not sure that’s strictly the answer. I believe, as in countries such as Korea that Americans should seek skills or education to improve their access to opportunities and quality of life. #empowerthrueducation

@ILSecOfState After ordering my license plates 5 mos ago, called to check status and why 5 mos. Was told b/c #COVID. You can’t use #COVID as a blanket excuse. If I used that in wireless with a person waiting on a phone, they’d be angry #nomoreexcuses #givemecustomerservicestat

So as @hgtv has become my new obsession I have a few questions. Like why do people in Mississippi need fireplaces? And why don’t homes in TX have basements? Why do people think they don’t need a backyard? #houseandhome #basementsandbackyards

[Kristine Book @kbookwrm]

Actual question from a customer. “Will my phone blow up if I get too many texts?” Me: You mean like literally blow up? Cx: Yes my grandma told me it would if I got too many texts. Me: No. Smh. #bottom2percent #rollingwiththecrazies

[Kristine Book @kbookwrm]

So my day started with a customer call that went something like this “Shut up and listen to me” sprinkled with some profanity. Farmers, wanna trade me for a day in the cab? You, too can experience the same abuse. #notmyscene #verbalshelterNOTinplace

[Kristine Book @kbookwrm]

@raekate24 That’s a start. I can do big things but if a customer is being an ass, maybe I can’t🙅‍♀️. It’s been a long few weeks for us too. We can’t WAIT to go back to the store. #beaproblemsolver #notmyscene

[Kristine Book @kbookwrm]

@raekate24 I am now working customer service. And I can tell you we’re out of patience too. Get your screaming kids out of our ear and know your security info when you call. Oh yeah and when you’re asking for a favor because you screwed up say please and thank you. #sorrynotsorry

[Kristine Book @kbookwrm]

When you start comparing customer service phone calls to #colonies in @HandmaidsOnHulu . It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine.

Cozy living room with candle from https://t.co/GxNLayUUyx My birthday was different but still so great! Thanks to all my friends and family for making this birthday wonderful. #quarantinebirthday #cakeandcandle #tryagainnextyear… https://t.co/hZ0kGTYGMH

Searching for the positive. I really do have a fantastic employer. Shout-out to @USCellular for taking care of their employees. I miss the store but getting used to this customer service gig! #skillsandtalentmanagement #talkingtalent #phoneafriend

[Kristine Book @kbookwrm]

So I miss stores being open and going about my life but I miss hugging my nieces and nephew most of all. #auntielove

Signs you’re back on the farm: You spend more time in a pickup truck than you do your own car. Also if someone asked me where I was, I’d have to ask or pull up Google maps. #adventuresinruralAmerica #whereintheworldaretheBooks #placesinpolo

[Kristine Book @kbookwrm]

So I did it. I gave up holding my tongue. I commented on a political post comparing forgiveness of student loans to “bailing out farmers.” #icanteven #factsandfarmers #tariffsandtrade #goodsandgrains
