You Mean This Site Has A Site Meter? Uh-OH!
“WE GET THERE BY HOOK OR BY CROOK,
WE DON'T DO A THING BY THE BOOK.
NEVER NEEDED SPECIAL CLOTHES, (oh-oh)
HOW WE DID IT, NO ONE KNOWS. (oh-oh)
GUESS WE MUST HAVE HAD WHAT IT TOOK.
HEY, HEY, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
SOMEONE TOOK THE PLANS AWAY.
SO WHAT'S ALL THE FUZZ,
AIN'T NOBODY THAT SPIES LIKE US, SPIES LIKE US.”
--Sir Paul McCartney, from the song "Spies Like Us" from the Spies Like Us Soundtrack,1985.
Well, I think I may have offended some readers. Since my “neighbor” blog on State Farm Auto Insurance, I checked my site meter and noticed that quite a few of the local State Farm employees have been using Google Reader and have logged into my site. Many have stayed for quite a while like 22 minutes, ten minutes and the like.
This site, besides showing me where folks are logging in from, and how long they are here, also catalogs the time visitors log in, whether someone checks my site out at 10:30 AM, 11:17 AM, 1:41 PM, or 3:15 PM.
This of course causes me to wonder and even begs the question, why are people logging into an internet blogging site when they are supposed to be working to keep my insurance costs down? Hmm….makes me wonder. So apparently, State Farm has time to play around on the internet, but they do not have time to go to check out what service needs to be done to my car, which I scheduled on Tuesday to give State Farm their ample 72 hours notice.
At what point did these guys stop working for me and decide that paying out claims was not a part of the insurance package?
I can only imagine that my rates will soar because I dared to file a claim when someone driving my car, in the dark hours of the evening, hit an errant piece of wood which fell off of another vehicle onto the road and an accident, in which neither I nor the driver have done anything faulty, ensued.
Perhaps, State Farm should take a line from Robert Frost and their new slogan could be “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors,” not that I am saying, like organized crime, a fake business is referred to as a fence nor am I stating that this company wishes to block people out, I am just trying to be poetic.
Next time I will try something more fun. Now for you State Farmers, get back to work and quit reading blogs on company and consumers' time, not that anyone is noticing or anything.
