ver-lies-zon wireless

Three and a half hours and four customer service representatives later, Verizon has failed me. They all literally told me something different. I pride myself on my patience when it comes to speaking to strangers, but this was my breaking point. And after all that, we still couldn't upgrade the phones. Yikes.

And then our wireless stopped working today so I spoke to a guy in India for a half hour.

Oh it's just been lovely.

Sometimes people are so anti-outsourcing. I don't know how I feel about it. India decided to send me a free router as an apology for waiting so long/that their product didn't work.
Verizon just gave us more crap than you could imagine.
If Verizon was based in New Delhi I bet I could get a free phone :)

I like when they say "Kindly hold while I connect you to my supervisor" in that precious accent.

Mom's going to call Verizon back tomorrow and give them a piece of her mind. If I was them, I would watch out. Mom is famous for her firebreathing skills. She always gets what she wants. It totally makes sense too. She's the one bringing home the bacon; her job requires her to make people crap in their pants if they don't do what shes says. She's all about women working, having their own apartment, and making a steady living til theyre about 28 and then they should be allowed to get married. A woman's got to be able to hold her own first. I respect that. I didn't realize how much I respect that until it hit me that without her incredibly hard work we wouldn't lead the comfortable lives we lead or have any money at all haha. No one expects their husband to become disabled, but because of her hard work she was prepared when it happened. I really do hope I follow her work ethic-- minus making people petrified haha. And she's not afraid to speak her mind, even in situations where everyone else wusses out. Like at church. I love that. No one messes with Mary Zientek.

Speaking of work ethic, I'm pretty sure I'm not even working this week haha. I'm off to a good start :)


To basking.
