The Phone Conked Out
I went to work this morning, but at lunch time I decided I was going to work from home for the rest of the day, so I went home.
I was doing my thing, and since TFB is away this week, I sent something to the acting boss and he didn’t know what it was, so he called me to find out.
In the middle of our phone call, all of a sudden my phone was all echoey. I saw my snookey there with a phone in the hand and I said, “scuze me, I’m on the phone”. However, he was just shutting down his own cell phone – he wasn’t on the phone.
So my phone was cut off in the middle of a work call, nothing in, nothing out, so I emailed and called the acting boss to tell him what had happened and to find out if I had explained what I’d sent him well enough.
Anyway, I had to call Bell. And I had to call them using my cell phone, and you know what that’s like…. “say english”, “please tell us what you’re calling about”, yada yada with the recordings until you finally get put through to someone.
So I talked to a guy, I told him I wanted to be fast because this was using up my minutes on my cell phone. He agreed and yet he then repeated every stinking thing I said during the phone call.
And of course I got sucked into that wire care plan again for ‘only’ $6/month because he said that if the problem was not an ‘outside’ problem, there would be a $57 charge for the service, so I said, “fine, give me the wire care plan” which I can cancel at any time AFTER ONE YEAR.
But you know what? Know what I was noticing? Every time I get my phone service through Bell, I always end up having some problem with my phone, and I always end up calling, and I always end up signing up again for the stupid wire care plan, even though the problem has never been with any of my phones, but somewhere on the outside.
I’m wondering if they do that on purpose… screw up your service in order to get you to sign up for $6/month for a year…. $72 for nothing.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
