Or fantasy or whimsy or daydreaming or that something being different doesn’t automatically make it “bad” or that two people can have different ‘ideal’ visions of something and still be each other’s perfect puzzle piece or…
I’ll speculate again, could this be another (possibly even two) pieces in the final arc involving Jonah being in the strip?
Toni (and Brad?) fantasizing about what raising Shannon would be like, and very soon having to decide whether to put up or shut up with the exit of Jonah by means of his demise or, for that matter, with all this travel he’s talking about, his character doing a full on heel turn and simply choosing not to come back and abandoning Shannon (weaseling out under the cover of ‘It’s for her own good because I’m not cut out to be a good dad’)?
To go that extra yard, could this guest artist stint even be happening to give G&K a clear patch of time to really roll up their sleeves and go all in on what would be one of the biggest/most momentous arcs in awhile?
Okay, that’s more than enough sticking my neck out for now. ;)
The problem is, the bad/hamstrung ones out number the super stars, yes they’re out there, by something like 20 to 1.
I’ve done my share of time in customer service in a pretty wide range of settings; from in house services at one of the largest law firms in the country to behind the counter at a drugstore chain.
I’ve also spent five straight hours hacking through phone trees trying to get an issue resolved. Also getting ahold of a supervisor at one agency taking the bull by the horns and calling up a sister agency to run interference for me, only for them to get treated like a red headed stepchild by them like any of us peons.
Other side of the coin? The frontline guy who not only filled out an application for a renewal of service that I never got while I was on the line with him, he got the application cleared within minutes.
Not enough? As a make good, he got me a tidy little refund that he also got processed in real time and was in my bank account before we hung up. No ‘three to five weeks’ hocus pocus.
I never end a call with one of the good ones without acknowledging their superior service. It’s well deserved (And you never know when a supervisor is monitoring the line looking for performance nits to pick).
Complete brainfart. My face is red. ;)
