Yes, you should not let those with sensitive ears read this blog.

Once again my phone is not working. The DSL’s been sucking for hours – about 5pm on Saturday evening. I finally tried the phone and it’s dead. So, I go outside and unplug the house, and plug an analog phone into the line. It still doesn’t work. The line is totally dead. That the DSL will load a web page in 10-20 minutes is a technological miracle.

Of course, I call them, press a hundred buttons answering a hundred automated questions, before the test the line, leave out the information that “yes our line is fucked up”, and say, i kid you not, “your line will be fixed on Monday, between 8am and 7pm”.

My favorite combo:
“If the reason you’re calling is that you have no dial tone, press 1.”

“Are you currently calling from the effected number? If yes, press 1, if no press 2.”
2
“Is this effecting all of your hand sets? If yes, press 1,…”

Thank you for assuming I’m a dumb ass AT&T, because I certainly assumed the same of you.

So, no paying my bills this weekend. No doing my taxes this weekend. At least I got in most of the blog updating I was doing today.

This is the third time my phone and/or DSL has gone down in the last two months. Once out four days BECAUSE THEY DISCONNECTED IT!

Homicide is in my heart.
