Oreck Manufacturing Company

OMG! This is too funny. One of my college instructors (Donna Greene) has a blog where she posts current information relevant to our class and the child development industry. Recently, I read something she wrote and wanted to post a comment. Well I couldn’t figure out how to post the comment without also being a member of this “blog community.” I’ve never attempted to get involved with this whole blog phenomenon, but figured it couldn’t be all that difficult- especially considering that most 13 year olds have one. So I created an account and posted my comment. Well once my comment was posted on the teacher’s blog, it included a link back to my blog. Great- my blog was COMPLETELY empty and pathetic. How emberassing. So I did the only logical (not) thing – I posted random nonsense to fill up the page. As most of you know, I recently received an Oreck Vacuum- which I am absolutely in love with. So I wrote about my unnatural love of my vacuum on my blog.

Okay, now you have the background info. Less than a week later, I received the email below:

Hi Cassandra,

I am very glad to hear that you like your ORECK vacuum cleaner. My name is George Hibbs and I am a Senior Product Engineer with ORECK Manufacturing located in Cookeville Tennessee. Someone within our organization had come across your blog and forwarded it to me to read. I would like to thank you for the kind words, and I wish you the best with our product. Historically our vacuum cleaners are very reliable and durable, but every once in a while we have our exceptions, just like every other industry. It is nearly impossible to produce perfect products 100% of the time. That is why we strive to provide good service to our customers after the purchase. Just please don’t drive your vehicle over your vacuum to test it’s strength as David Oreck does in our infomercials. I consider that to be a bit extreme. J

Have a great day Cassandra!

Well, not that it mattered in this instance, but I guess you really do have to be careful about what you post online. You NEVER know who's reading what you write! It might just be a senior product engineer at a famous vacuum company. lol!
