More idiotic happenings with SBC.

More idiotic happenings with SBC.

I couldn’t find the page on the web to unenroll from eBill so I called the eBill assistance phone # I was given on my previous call. So I called from my office phone only to hear a message that goes something like this: “We are sorry, we are unable to manage the account for the phone number you can calling from. Have a nice day *hang up*” Idiots. I am not wanting to manage the University’s account. Let me type in my home number or let me talk to a human.

And as if that wasn’t bad, earlier, while talking to them, the girl said “I see that you had caller ID and we’ll restore that, but this month we are offering a special. If you sign up for our The Works package for only $20 a month you will” and I interrupt her at this point and say “Michelle… Michelle…. I know that it’s your job to sell me stuff, but I just got done arguing my bill with a couple people, the last thing I want to do right now is to give your company any more money. I’m sure you understand.” And she laughed and said “yeah, I understand.”

That company is full of idiots!

I am on the phone

I am on the phone with them. I charged the balance due to my credit card and they are sending me duplicate paper bill. They show we were on ebill (idiots). They are taking me off that and waiving the reconenction fee.

I logged into the eBill

I logged into the eBill crap and sure enough, it says that I opted out of it in July (because it sucks) and I chose to receive paper bills again but now it seems that they have reverted my account back to ebill which is why I haven’t received any paper bills in a while.

They are idiots. Why not leave messages to tell you that you haven’t paid a bill? I have never in my life not paid a bill.

Yeah well, it’s confirmed. My

Yeah well, it’s confirmed. My phone has been disconnected. Come to think of it, the last bill I got was in September. Lately there have been messages from a lady saying “hello? hello?” and finally, the other day “hello? hello? this is SBC.. hello?” and that’s it.

You’d think that if it was about disconnection, they’d leave a message. Idiots. Now it’s time to argue that I haven’t received a phone bill and probably argue against reconnection fee.

Idiots.

I went to the gym

I went to the gym last night, as usual. You know how when you are on the treadmill, your mind just kind of wanders places. You get used to your pace, the rhythmic sound around you, the rhythmic view around you as well of others on the treadmill at their pace. It’s mildly hypnotic.

Well, this one guy (new guy I believe) decided to get on the treadmill next to mine last night. And he would walk, then run, then walk, then run. It was driving me crazy because I couldn’t space out and concentrate. So I started timing him. He would run for 2 minutes and then walk until he caught his breath again, then run for 2 more minutes.

I wanted to say something so badly. Am I becoming a mean gym guy?

The game was a success.

The game was a success. The students (except for 2 of them) seemed to get into it and a fun time was had by all.

Slashdot must love me as

Slashdot must love me as a moderator or I always arrive at the right place at the right time because once again I’m a moderator. I think I’m chosen to moderate at least once a week. It’s weird.
