Why is this happening to me?!
My head is fixin' to explode, just like in "Scanners". Last night I hooked up the phone I dug out while cleaning and plugged it in. A while later, I called it from my cell to see if it had charged. I got a recorded message saying "That number is not in service.". WHAT THE EVERLASTING FUCK?!?!?!
So first thing this morning---I mean 8AM sharp, I called AT&T and went through one peon and two alledged managers who could not seem to wrap their alledged brains around the fact that my phone was working on Tuesday, because the tech called me on it before he departed, so there should be no reason for it to not be connected NOW. The second manager, when I let them know that I have a very important employment-related call scheduled this weekend, said she would speak with dispatch and call me back. I'm still waiting, and since that marathon decimated my minutes, I haven't called them back.
And I am freaking out. In Technicolor. Because I'm supposed to start training at 10AM Monday and ring in on two conference calls after that, and I can't fucking do it on my Tracfone, not with the minutes I have left. The fucknuggets are telling me that I have a service call scheduled for the 31st, which is Thursday, which means I won't make any money AT ALL in January. (They pay monthly.) I was counting on getting a few hours to cover essentials. I'm so screwed. Honestly, it's shit like this that makes people go postal.
Where the hell is Michael Ironside when you need him?!
