Yuck...I think I have had that exact same conversation with Robert before but he was working for Comcast at the time!!! Good luck with your email!
No, he works for Alaska Airlines. I talked to him a couple weeks ago. I never was able to check in online.
Awww...I wonder what Robert is up to right now.
I hate going through technical stuff like this. At least you could understand him. I always get really thick accented people with 'American' sounding names.That irks me to no end.OK, I was about to go off on a rant...Maybe Robert didnt get reviews so hes turning up at all these new places of employment.
I am thinking that Robert is merely a replicant like the kind in Blade Runner. If you have a tall, buffed, Aryan looking chick knock on your door, don't answer it.
This is an actual copy and paste transcript from being in an online chat (instant message) support, so Robert may indeed have an accent.
Freakin' hilarious (and at the same time no surprise). I wish you were my neighbor.
He sounds hot!
Dude, sorry about your email. That really sucks. But you and Robert got on fabulously. He did sound hot. All foreign n shit. You KNOW homeboy has an accent in real life LOL
I love how this post is gonna count for the Foodbuzz thingy lol

HAHAHAHAHA! Gee, I was imagining someone who looks like Agent from The Matrix series. Hugo Weaving makes for a convincing robotic technical support guy. I think it was "Thanks, I will now access your account and conduct my investigation" which really impressed me. And how unfazed he was by your queries to his, uh, humanity.
that is very funny, heather
technology is a gas, heather
heather, heather...
lol, that doesn't sound maddening at all. Sorry about the email troubles
That was pretty darned funny... except when you're the Heather of the dialogue.
Kinda like my love affair with Detroit Edison. Ugh.
Appears there was a love connection Heather. Is Scottie the jealous type?
Leif
That actually creeps me out a bit. He sounds like he's from Terminator or something...
Um... hello?
Can I please get my triple mocha/hazelnut latte with extra whipped cream, banana, nuts, a cherry, and full release now? I'm kind of in a hurry. My interweb is down and I have a conference call scheduled with "Steve" from Gujarat and "Sharon" from Alma Ata on how to get it working again so I can order some illegal Honduran cheez whiz® and accidentally suffocate myself while trying to get high on the propellant.
Sorry but Roberto..I will call him Roberto...sounds Italian with bedroom eyes...works for Telus.We have had many a late night conversation:D
Blah! I hate this stuff - it drives me BATTY. He does sound like a total robot. I should know, I watch Buffy.
BWAHAHAHHA! I just saw Valli's comment - guess I know what Hubz is up to - oh and he is totally hot with bedroom eyes!
Poor Robert. He hears the clunk of broken gears in his little mechanical fingers, and knows that even yahoo will let him go soon...
Oh, silly Robert.
Are you suure you weren't talking to a machine? He sounded a bit creepy!
