no picnic with at&t
Today I am catching up on my writing for my blogs and for work. I’m doing it at a restaurant near my home. Not because I needed to get out. I didn’t. I’m here because I competed with a computer and lost.
Yesterday, I waited 12 hours for an AT&T technician to come out an install my phone. I was told that I couldn’t get a smaller window, and that I would have to wait until next week for the same company to prepare the Internet. (???) That was even after I told them I had an old modem on hand and that I wouldn’t require technical support.
No one came to my door. No one called me. And I couldn’t get a live person on the phone—until this morning. By this time, I was ready to pop because of the sheer ludicrousness of the situation. When I did get a person yesterday and today, they told me that the computer was showing that my installations (phone and internet) were complete. (So???)
