🎶 You better get ready,
To bring homes online,
310 households
Are waiting in line!
Let’s clear those lists for Christmas time! 🎶
🎶 With 60* great partners,
And modems in store,
We’ve got what we need,
To connect even more!
Let’s clear those lists for Christmas time! 🎶
🎶 These households are waiting,
For a gift that’s so dear,
An internet connection,
To start the new year! 🎶
🎶 So rally together,
Let’s give it our best,
With Skinny Jump’s mission,
Let’s meet every quest!
Let’s clear those lists for Christmas time! 🎶
*60 partners have customers on their waiting lists (at least that we know about because they have been recorded in your Jump register).
Not really a Friday Quiz, but a little bit of encouragement (of course with help from Chat GPT) to clear your Jump waiting lists. Remember our waiting list protocol – partners should alert customers on their waiting lists when they have modems in stock and if they don’t respond within 7-10 days, then zap, they are to be removed from the waiting list.
We have also discovered some partners do keep a waiting list but this is not shared with us. This means that when we ship you new modem supplies we can not take into account your waiters, so you quickly run out of modems again.
We also know that some partners are unable to add waiters to their Google sheets because they don’t have editing rights. Thanks to Rida Malik from Hamilton Libraries, we now have a solution! It’s all about how we share your Jump GSheet with you. To date, you have needed a Gmail account to get editing rights, but Rida has shown us how we can share this with your regular email. This is a real breakthrough for partners who have IT departments that are nervous about linking Gmail accounts to their corporate networks.
So any partners who still have ‘secret’ waiting lists in your top drawer, let me know the email you would like to use and I’ll connect you up so that you can add these waiters to your Gsheet (email me at jump@diaa.nz).
PS – if any partners would like to demonstrate their Chat GPT skills and respond with a rhyme about how they handle their Jump waiting lists, then who knows, Santa might come early!

Here at Rānui,
Our waitlists aren’t clear,
But we are working on them
With full Christmas cheer.
A lot on our waitlist
Never answer their phone,
So we’ll keep trying
And get dial-tone.
We give extra time,
As much as we can,
If they don’t answer,
We make a new plan.
We reach out by email,
and we hope that they see.
When all of that fails,
We let the waitlist be.
We love to give modems,
And run out so quick!
When they ask for one,
We’re there in a tick!

Community Support Waitakere, looking ahead,
Five smart modems bought, with savings widespread.
From TradeMe they came, a fortunate find,
But setting them up needs a helping kind.
The modems need power, adapters anew,
And SIM cards from Skinny to make them all true.
For sharing with many, more access we seek,
To bridge gaps for those with Wi-Fi so weak.
So, let’s reach out to Skinny Jump’s team,
To activate each modem, fulfill this dream.
Then more folks can connect, their needs met with ease,
Community’s growing, connected, and pleased.

Hi Laurence
I started and let ChatGPT finish it off
Modems on the Fly
We need to clear our waitlist,
Modems have got to fly,
People need to be connected,
Before the Christmas high.
They will want to do their shopping,
Much easier online,
And watch the Christmas movies,
To get the holiday vibe.
Emailing their families,
All across the globe,
Sharing Christmas photos,
So they don’t feel so alone.
Streaming songs of joy and cheer,
The festive season’s here,
From snowy streets to desert skies,
Connection keeps the spirit high.
A world united by the screen,
As Christmas lights in pixels gleam.
So let’s make sure they all log on,
Before the holiday rush is gone.
