. . . you can hear me scream!
A friend from church stopped by in the morning to drop off some handmade greeting cards, and remarked that she had been trying to reach me by phone for several days. “The phone goes straight to voice mail.” Hmm. So she dialed my phone while we both stood there, and it went straight to voice mail without even ringing. The Squire tried it later and not only did it go to voicemail but it told him the mailbox was full!
After supper, he called me again, sitting directly across the table, and my phone beside my plate. It rang busy. He punched some buttons, swore softly under his breath, and finally tried again. Lo! And behold! Mozart’s concerto rang out and I was actually able to answer my phone.
I called my BFF and she was able to call me back, and so was Eldest Daughter. Now if I can just solve the Great Email Dilemma, I’ll be in business. What I really, really want is to get a landline again.
Every blessed time I go to sign into my email, I am asked for a code, which is sent to The Squire’s phone. If he is not at home, I cannot get to my messages. So – I spent almost an hour yesterday afternoon in a chat with a nice young lady (I presume) at Xfinity trying to either stop this nonsense or convince them to use MY number instead of his. After all of that, she transferred me to some sort of Tech Support line, which wanted $5. Not too bad, so I entered my VISA number.
It was declined.
I entered another number, which was also declined.
And then I entered my own personal account number – and guess what?
At least I didn’t get charged for all of this, so there’s that.
This is ridiculous! If this is progress, I don’t want any part if it,
