Tech Tone

See if you can follow this:

If you've talked to me on the phone in the last two days you've noticed a super annoying beeping on my phone line (tech tone)

I hate super annoying beeping (I get earaches you know!)

So anyhow I call up Verizon to have them fix the problem.

Verizon tells me they are not my provider and I should call whoever is my provider.

So I call AT&T and go thru about 20 minutes of Sexy Computer Voice Tech Help Robot Girl. I'm never actually allowed to ax a question. She prompts me every step of the way.

Just now VERIZON (apparently possibly my provider) called me to let me know a technician will be sent out to fix the problem.

I ask if I'll have to pay them.

They said no, but I might have to pay AT&T.

I've got the tech tone on my line from AT&T and Verizon tells me they'll be out to fix it but I might have to pay AT&T if they come in my shop.

If they don't come in my shop I don't pay AT&T or Verizon.

So if you want to hear actual tech tone give me a call within the next hour or so. It's REAL LOUD on my end....a bit softer on yours. But it's a constant beeping tone due to tech.

Tech Tone.

(I HATE CHEW!)

  2. Oh man, the flippin Road Runner stole my comment!

    So, do you not know whether AT&T or Verizon is your provider? Who do you write a check to every month?

  3. Okay, here's how you fix it:

    1) Pick up the phone.
    2) Pick up scissors.
    3) Place scissors on phone cord.
    4) ::snip::
    5) Toss phone in trash.

    Problem solved!

  4. I was at the shop when I called and couldn't remember.

    I have three cell phones, home phone, store phone, cable phone/internet and I change them from time to time....I couldn't remember who this line was with .

    Gotcha. But you'd think he'd notice a $200 check going to "AT&Cake" every month.

  18. Well, you said I couldn't comment here about these comments any more.

    And I'm not a big Julia Roberts fan either.

    And I'm looking forward to the day Sparkle lets the squirrels loose.
