This Post is Filled with Negativity and Lots of Cuss Words

September 18th, 2009

This is my recent twitter stream related to AT&T. I thought I would elaborate since you’re only allowed 140 characters per tweet:

Holy shit. AT&T, get your big head out of your tight ass.
[No really, unclench your butt cheeks and just pull.]

There is no other customer service department I dread calling more than AT&T’s… #justshootme
[Well, possibly a call to a government agency.]

*sobs*
[Why am I already sobbing? Have you called and listened to their automated menu? Well, you go through this extensive menu and enter your phone number, and your password, and your billing security code just to have the person that eventually TALKS to you, ask you the SAME GOD DAMN QUESTIONS.]

Let me transfer you… Let me check with the department that JUST TRANSFERRED YOU TO ME. #ATT
[Yes, I called the number for Premier Online Support with the ticket number that they themselves gave me the day before and she tells me that a ticket number does nothing. SWEET. So she transfers me to Premier Customer Care because that’s whom I need to talk to (what a dumb shit I am). Premier Customer Care says, “You need to talk to Premier Online Support.” OF COURSE I DO.]

Wondering if @ATTCustomerCare is better than the phone support. IT COULDN’T BE ANY WORSE.
[Or could it?]

And so I’ve come full circle. #ATT
[Eventually they figure out what I want. A login. The login they give me does not work. So they assign me A NEW TICKET NUMBER. Holy Fucking Hell. Oh but wait. She says, “Let me give you the direct number to call tomorrow.” (Now we’re getting somewhere!) IT’S THE SAME GOD DAMN NUMBER that I originally called.]

Going to my happy place. Going to my happy place. Going to…
[fucking kill someone.]

@ATTSusan Thank you for the offer but I’m going to live stress-free for at least 24 hours before my next attempt at resolution. 140 not eno
[Nice of her to ask if I needed help, I guess.]

Preparing myself for round 3 with AT&T #dread #ATT
[Because I have waited 24 hours for the email to arrive with a new login.]

FAIL: AT&T Premier E Store and Premier Support Center are 2 completely different departments but have the same phone number. Fuck you #ATT
[I call the “direct number” and after navigating through their extensive phone menu, this, THIS is what they tell me. Basically, I chose the wrong options. I’M SUCH A DUMB CUNT.]

I’m on hold with AT&T “customer service.” I need an alcoholic beverage or a valium. #ATT
[No, really. After holding for 20 minutes, I need something.]

AT&T told me to call back in an additional 24 hours. FOR A FUCKING LOGIN. #ATT
[The system that assigns logins is broken. No human can assign a login to me. The computers now take over the world.]

@ATTSusan All I need is a TCM login for the “Premier Online Care” site! Something that I requested MONTHS ago.
[Something that should’ve been done when the account was first set up because that’s what I was told would happen. Then they tell me that there can only be ONE LOGIN. One login to rule them all. Then someone else finds out they can get a login but I have to set it up. Of course they can, because AT&T told me they could NOT. It really just depends on who you talk to at AT&T, doesn’t it? BTW, TCM is an acronym for “Telecommunications Manager.” How do I know this? Because when the agent started spewing acronyms at me, I told her, “I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.” I love it when companies toss around internal acronyms and then assumes everyone else is supposed to know what the fuck they stand for.]

Dear AT&T, SUCK IT! #ATT
[AT&T has been a nightmare to deal with since DAY ONE.]

Dear AT&T, Keep fucking that chicken! #ATT
[That’s a reference to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc1Wzk2Tsxg]

I am fully expecting this to end well as I am dealing with such an upstanding and reputable company. Right?

Holy Crap, 20 Years!

July 19th, 2009

Plans for my high school 20 year reunion are in the works.  20. YEARS!

I volunteered my husband to develop the site.  So if you like it, please hire him for your next website project because  I’m tired of supporting his bum – ass! he’s awesome!

Check it out:  http://mwhs1990.com

He also designed the custom twitter page:  http://twitter.com/mwhs1990

Of course there’s a facebook group:  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=216525175143

And a flickr pool:  http://www.flickr.com/groups/mwhs1990/

Social networks really help to spread the word!  Planning should be a snap!  I hope…

Twilight Fan

July 11th, 2009

I’m a fan of the ‘Twilight’ series. I only read the entire series because I have a 10 year-old daughter. Which just means that I had to wait, impatiently, as she slowly finished each book.

This series is fun. It was fun to watch the movie with my daughter too.

While surfing the web I stumbled across Stephenie Meyer’s site. If you haven’t yet, you should go there and download “Midnight Sun.” It’s Edward’s version of Twilight! It’s apparently just a draft but still fun to read. If you’re just starting the series, I recommend reading this right after “Twilight.”

Mmmm, vampires are yummy!

We Interrupt This Blog

November 27th, 2008

Hi All,

Taking a short (any by short I mean long procrastinating) break from packing and moving to bring you this message from Clockwork.  Clockwork.  The company I work for.  Does anyone pay attention to what I blog about?  I thought so.

Please help me keep my job by visiting this site:  http://www.myfruitrollups.com/

Top Secret coupon code for you to share with everyone you know:  take5

Thank you, I now return you to the regularly scheduled, non-existent blogging.

Good News

October 2nd, 2008

The geekdarling clan is moving!  If all goes well we’ll be moved in on or before December 1st.

Pros: Cons:
It’s a house!

In a nice neighborhood.

Sunny living room with a bay window

4 bedrooms

Stainless steel gas stove

Finished basement

Huge yard

3-season porch

Wrap-around deck

2.5 car garage

Washer and dryer

It’s a rental but we may have an option to buy in the future.

Just outside our current school district

TEAL CARPET

4th bedroom is sketchy

Small kitchen

Wood paneling

Yard work

I knew this was going to happen because I just started hanging pictures on our walls.  The apartment was supposed to be temporary but after 2 years of living there temporarily…

I’m totally excited but did I mention the TEAL carpet?  It’s new and “high-end” so there’ll be no justifying tearing it up – at least while we’re renting.  Obviously the homeowners – or one of them – loves teal.  But me?  Not so much.

So, y’all can expect me to be preoccupied (READ: obsessed) with moving and all that entails.

I’m thinking of inviting all of our relatives for Christmas – is that insane?
