Okay, it's official, I have gone insane! I am certifiable, nuts, coo coo for Cocoa Puffs! Our phone system at work is on the fritz and our carrier says it's not them, SBC says they have tested the lines and everything is okay, mind you they did this from some off site location in the boonies, and our equipment vendor says it's not them and that we should call our carrier.
The problem is non-existent apparently! The fact that we can't make local or 800 calls or recieve them is all in my head! Yes, that's it, the problem is in my head. All I need to do is to bore a hole in my head through one of my ears with an ice pick and tilt my head just so and all the bad stuff will pour out and suddenly the world will be right as rain once more.
Don't cha just love shit like that? Something goes wrong with your phone service or what have you and instead of helping you everyone you call just shrugs their shoulders and mutters, "I didn't do it." Everytime! GAAAAAH! It would be nice if for once it was a quick fix and we didn't have to report this to our vice pres like little kids tattling to the recess lady and have him threaten legal action to get things done properly. More and more it seems that vendors just pass the buck and bounce you around in the hopes that you'll give up all the while knowing that since it would cost THOUSANDS of dollars to switch to some one else you have almost no choice but to put up with the rigamaroll.
I just saw in the paper that Target is selling electric guitars complete with an amp and instructional dvd for $88. Think maybe now I'll go pick one up and as soon as I nail down three chords, start a punk band, the Screwed, and leave this crap behind me. Excuse me, I need some aspirin and some pepto and to go lie down
