Purgatory


There was some issue between me and my telephone company and I turned out to be right. Guess they didn't like that - my connection is out of order, and I'm crawling the net on an analog modem pay per minute thingie for now. They got their pound of flesh at the end.

At least the visit went well.

The good customer is silent, stays silent and pays per Bankeinzug. The good customer even pays for things like voip that are free.
That the visit went well is good news!

That sort of thing always ends up making me feel like my heart and brain are both about to blow up.

Amanda said...

You know what's sad?

Losing my DSL feels like I'm having my heart torn out. :P Will probably end up doing whatever it takes to get that cleared up. Pathetic.

"Whatever it takes" ... ähem, soso ... if it's big "T" it will take nothing, because they react erratic.
You can always take it on the street and chant something like: "Forgive me forgive, for I corrected your billing" ... yeah, cheap jokes iknowiknow.

Is it in full swing again? The dsl I mean ... hope you are well. Another night full of pleasure ahead, so I better catch some sleep now. Lass' Dich nicht runterziehen ...

Raine said...

That stinks. I hope you get it resolved, if its possible?

Amanda said...

*Sigh*

No DSL yet. I feel awful.

But not drinkin or anything. I've made some good progress in that area. :)

Progress and visits going well is fabulous. Sorry about the DSL. It's sad that people can be so petty to those who are not the sort of good customer described by Mago.

Gut.

It. Is. WORKING. Again.

Thank you God. *sniff* *sob*

Then again, I don't know for how much longer. They seem to have me on some kind black list.

Will just have to take each day as it comes...

mago said...

"take it easy baby, take it as it comes ..." an old doors line ... die Liste der "auffälligen" Kunden? Ach komm' ...

Amanda said...

I bet a little red light comes on when they get an incoming call from me. :)

Oh geez! What a pain! I hope they smarten up soon because it seems like they're driving you crazy. I wonder how many others they're driving up the wall too? I wonder how many customer service reps they have hired, so that they can screw with people's services? Seems like a good way for them to a) lose money and b) make everyone unhappy.

Lily Strange said...

That's even crappier service than Qwest, the evil telecommunications monopoly company in my neck of the woods..

Lily Strange said...

PANSI would like to say that if you think you have problems, just look what SHE is going through!

mago said...

"heilig, heilig ..." I walked through the inner city very early on my way home and in an endless-loop holy bla droned out of big speakers. It was creepy. And in your neck of the woods - you had your share of holyness too?

Amanda said...

Ouch Mago, I know just what you mean. For a time I lived in a village that was holier than Rome itself!

Thankfully my current abode is in a part of town that has a lot of foreign flair. :)
