Need someone to lead product management at your software company? I build high-craft software and the teams that build it. I'm looking for my next opportunity. Check out my resume and get in touch.

This is the blog of Adam Kalsey. Unusual depth and complexity. Rich, full body with a hint of nutty earthiness.

Freshness Warning

I just called PG&E, my gas company, to get my billing address changed. For some reason the bills are still coming to an old post office box number that I used when I was moving from one home to another. Even though I changed my service address, my billing address wasn’t ever changed.

Much to my dismay, after wading through the voicemail options to get to the right department I was greeted with a message informing me that there was a one and a half hour wait to speak to someone in customer service. But the voicemail system provided another option. Instead of waiting on hold, I was able to enter a phone number and have a customer service person call me back in about two hours. Smart move on their part.

Update: It would have been a good idea if it had actually worked. They were supposed to call after two hours. It’s now been three and no call.
