Hello FICO!

[JayRizzo]

On my way home today, I decided to give FICO Customer Service a call about a few questions that I had.  I spoke to a very pleasant young lady who had taken the time to go above and beyond to find the answers for me that she couldn't answer at the moment.

During the course of the phone call, we talked about the MyFICO forums and I mentioned that I'm JayRizzo and have been contributing since last year.  She sounded very surprised and said that she and others at FICO have read my postings which they think are very humorous, but she hasn't been checking the forums for about a month.

Yes, I "do" have a funny-bone and used to lighten the FICO mood with a little humor but have had a bit of a mean streak lately -- it must be the Michigan weather.

Well, I'm going back to my old self again and will ease up on being Mr. Meanie!!!  So, I'd like to say, "HELLO!" to the wonderful folks at FICO.  Sorry, I can' t remember the Associate's screen name -- I was driving, of course!

Well, hello to you too, JayRizzo!

The title you claim for yourself, "Mr. Meanie", has been held by many others over the last few years, myself included.  Nothing's forever...unless, of course,  you are that SOB that tailgated me for fourteen miles, in which case I hope that you... 

Oh, never mind!

@JR
That CSR used a, what we call, an "icebreaker" and you fell for it man! :-D Icebreakers are considered level-2 CSR skill :-)

lol

@ Uborrow-Upay:  Well, ummm... I was trying to read the bumper sticker on your car.  THEN, I realized it said, "If you can read this bumper sticker, you are too darn close!!!"   hahaha 

@ ifinet:  Oh Snap!  I fell for the icebreaker just like back in high school.  A cheerleader would have me carry her books to class where her boyfriend, usually the Captain of some sports team, is standing there waiting and says, "Thanks for for being the gopher!  Now, scram kid!"   Oooooh the humiliation returns!!!  hahahaaa
