These employees wrote checks to pay back the 'overpayment' and then the district deposited their checks and then paid them the same amount again. Maybe they all went to the same place to learn how to make people angry and nuts!<BR/><BR/>Mave - It's either when you choose to go on a quick errand, or are in the bathroom...arrrrg!<BR/><BR/>Joan - Beats me. I guess they figure that since the service is really important to people, that they are willing to devote a whole day to insuring that service will be restored.<BR/><BR/>Marsha - No land lines is sounding better and better, however, both my TV cable, and my internet connections need phone lines for service...at least I think they do.<BR/><BR/>Renee - That's fabulous. Actually it all worked out well on this end, I'll post about it tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Ms. Chica - I've given my cell # before, but they usually call me when they are 10 minutes from my house. Besides, we wanted to buy a car today, so a phone call wouldn't have worked. Fortunately, it all worked out o.k.<BR/><BR/>Kelly Malloy - Yeah, what's up with that. I think that they figure that people consider phone and cable 'necessities' and will therefore be willing to sacrifice a whole day waiting.

Wouldn't you know that was when they decided to show up.

They want an eight hour window, give very little service and are rude on the phone. The phone company is one of my biggest beefs after lousy drivers. LOL<BR/><BR/>The phone company recently sent my 82 year old mother a rebate of $44 - money they had overbilled her for. She cashed the check and a month later they are telling her that they will cut her service off because she owes <B>them</B> $44. She called them time after time trying to get all of this straight. She then sent them the $44 to prevent the service from being disconnected. Now they are sending her another check for $44. If there's anymore problems <B>I</B> am going to call them. They did the same thing with my bill last year, only it was for over one hundred dollars. Sorry about the rant, but the words "phone company" set me off. LOL<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.com
