GEEZ, I'VE BEEN OFF A LONG TIME!
I HAD A PROBLEM WITH AT&T ~ THEY TURNED OFF MY SERVICE TO THE INTERNET, BECAUSE OF NON- PAYMENT! THE TROUBLE IS - I HAD BEEN PAYING TO TWO DIFFERENT ACCTS. WITH TWO DIFFERENT NAMES! (TRYING TO GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND THIS WAS ANOTHER ISSUE!) I SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY HINTING TO THEM THAT THEY COULD JUST SIMPLY APPLY THE PAYMENTS FROM THE BOGUS ACCT. TO THE REAL ACCT. "WELL, BY CRACKIE, THAT JUST MIGHT WORK MA'AM!" (WOW, YA THINK?) THEN WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS OK, AND I COULD EXPECT TO BE BACK IN THE BUSINESS OF SURFING THE NET- IT WOULD NOT WORK! SO, AFTER THREE CALLS TO GET TECH HELP FROM AT&T (AND THREE TECHS MIND YOU, FROM INDIA, PAKISTAN, & THE PHILLIPINES )~ THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE IN THE WIRING! SO, THEY SENT A TECH TO MY HOUSE,(WHO ALSO COULD NOT GET ANY RESULTS). HE AND I WERE TALKING AND I SAID, "IT'S LIKE THEY TURNED OFF BOTH ACCTS."- HE AGREED! HE LEFT WITH A PROMISE THAT HE WOULD BE RIGHT BACK, HE HAD TO GO TO THE OFFICE TO CHECK ON IT......
(I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM OF COURSE!) SURE ENOUGH, HE CAME BACK! "YEP, THAT'S WHAT THEY DID! AND NOT ONLY THAT, THEY CONNECTED IT TO A DEAD LINE GOING NOWHERE!" (HE SAID) GRRRR! NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE GOT ME BACK ON, AND HERE I AM! :) TECHNOLOGY PISSES ME OFF! 15 DAYS OFF BECAUSE, I COULD NOT GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT I HAD BEEN PAYING FOR TWO ACCTS! 15 DAYS THAT I'LL NEVER GET BACK! (ALTHOUGH, MY HOUSE SURE GOT A GOOD CLEANING! I AM THANKFUL FOR THAT!)
TAKE CARE WITH LOVE, >>>CRIS<<<
