Darn Squirrels
So Andy and I got home from work Thursday and I went directly to the computer to submit the newspaper ad for our rummage sale. But our Internet was down. So I started complaining how I did not want TDS anymore and blah blah blah. So I handed Andy the phone book and the landline phone to call because I knew it needed to be in by 6 pm the night prior. He took the phone and pressed on and no dial tone. So then I started to get really pissed. What kind of service were we getting from TDS? I walked into the kitchen and realized that the clocks on the stove an microwave were flashing. I’m like hmm the power went out. That explained the reason the computer was off when I sat down by it. Andy and I always have it on.
I decided to start setting up the garage for the rummage sale. Of course it’s like 90 degress and the garage is so hot. So I’m setting up some stuff on one of the tables and look out the window and I see the phone line is actually down, like disconnected on the ground. So we take a look at it and the end is all frayed. This is like at 4:30.
I call the phone company and get Troy. Troy sounds young and he asks why I’m calling. I tell him my phone line is disconnected and it down. He says well I can help you with that, let me run a diagnostic and I interupt him and say no its down, like down on the ground. So then he goes on to flirt with me. I mean like big time. Its really a compliment when someone flirts with you and they can’t see you. I must have a really sexy voice! He made the comment well since its outside, its free of charge and no one has to be there. I said that we are having a rummage sale, so people will be there anyway. He said if he lived closer he would have come, but its like a 2 hour drive for him. Now this freaked me out because he has my name, number, cell number, and home address. If you think about it, crazy people could use this to their advantage! Anywho, he said it would be fixed Friday or Saturday at the very latest. When we got home from work at 2 he was just leaving. Thank god. I have become addictec to this blogging and it felt so wrong not blogging yesterday! Or did I early in the morning? Man lack of sleep really gets to a person.
