I just had the most incredible call with AT&T Tech Support. It was so bad that I began laughing on the phone.

1. They wouldn't give me tech support until I verified my name was James and not Jimmy. I told her my name and we sat in silence for a minute then she said "please hold I'm looking at the account". Another minute of silence and she said "the name isn't matching" and I said, "They account might say James.... thats still me". A wave of understanding hit her and we moved along.

Now! A list of my favorite quotes by her!

2. "You're supposed to turn your phone off every few days so uhh.... your phone can uhh.... with the antennae."

3. "4 or 5 bars is a good thing"

4. Her: "It looks like there's poor service in parts of northern nebraska" Me: "Oh, what parts?" Her: "It looks like up along the South Dakota border"

5. Its a long one but a good one
Me: "Are you from Texas? Most AT&T tech support I've gotten has been from Texas"
Her: "Nope, we're located in Clarksville, TN"
Me: "Oh, like that song Last Train to Clarksville? Is that about your city?"
Her: "I don't know that song. But there's a song by *some singer* where she says she's coming home to Tennessee"
Me: "Clarksville Tennessee?"
Her: "No, just about Tennessee. There's a lot of songs about Tennessee" (It was at this point I nearly lost it to laughter)
Me: "Yeah, there's a lot of good music in Tennessee"
Her: "Maybe thats why phone reception gets worse here after 5pm" (This is where I held the phone away because I did start laughing)
