My Ebenezer

That’s all I’ve got today! For a week now I’ve been having trouble with Time Warner (they suck) who provides my high speed internet service. This morning, I woke up to find that my phone service (not provided by TW) was not working. About 11am, my internet and cable went out also. The internet connection has been down from about 11am until about 4pm every day this week. What is up with that? I couldn’t even call and complain because I knew I’d lose it and end up yelling at the poor person who answered the phone.

But I did call my phone service. I won’t repeart the whole conversation, but this part was funny:

Rep: We’ll have your phone line fixed on MOnday, Jan. 30.
Me: Seriously? There’s nothing we can do before then?
Rep: They work weekends and if they can get to it faster they will.
Me: Monday? I have no phone until Monday?
Rep: I can forward your calls free of charge, if you’d like.
Me: That would be great, thanks!
Rep: No problem, we’re sorry for the inconvenience. When your line comes back on, the calls should automatically go back to your house…if not, just give us a call and we’ll take care of it for you.
Me: Thanks! You know, you don’t suck like the people at Time Warner. Did you know that Time Warner REALLY sucks?
Rep: laughing, thanks…that’s good to know……

And no call from M today so no word on the siblings.

Automated response system at the phone company. “if your phone is not working at all, press 1″ I pressed 1. “If you are calling from your home phone, press 1.” I pressed 2. “If you can be reached at your home phone number in case we get disconnected, press 1.” I screamed into the phone and pressed zero for an operator.
