A Rant, an Award and Jeans!

AT&T is a horrible, horrendous company. Not so much the Wireless division, although I don’t really know, as I have Verizon. Home internet/phone…I can’t even tell you how lame of a company they are. I know they won’t be around much longer, chapter 11 has just GOT to be around the corner if not already…what happened to customer service?!

I’ll spare you the re-hash of the entire week of our back and forth, but allow me to share AT&T screws Liz-the Weekend Edition. ENJOY!

Friday evening (remember their shenanigans started on Monday, dolls) -”I PROMISE we will have someone out to your house on Sunday from 8-5“-AT&T idiot manager. Having resigned myself to a weekend without internet and being busy anyway, I plan on a Sunday laying out on my dock, tanning, texting, twittering and fbing on my phone (junkie style) and waiting for the magical AT&T technician to come and restore my hopes and dreams.

This morning I wake up…at NOON haha (late night) and still, no technician man. Sooo…I call….for the 50th time this week- only to be told-”We actually don’t do house calls on Sundays, ma’am, someone gave you incorrect information.” Um…WHAT? I swear to baby jesus I thought I was in the Twilight Zone.

There comes a point in situations like this that no amount of Colombian temper, or sweet talking or LOGIC can help, so I make the apt. for Monday (tomorrow), think of arranging my schedule so someone can be home all day and attempt to make the best of my Sunday, hey at least I’m off house arrest, right?

So I’m whisked away in a brand new BMW with a brand new boy (ohhh) to Newport for sun and sushi, forgetting about AT&T, except to call Chrystina to tell her the latest (poor bestie has had to hear me rant and rave for a week)….and WHAT HAPPENS?!!!!

Phone rings. Random 714 number. Hmm…answer…and it’s an AT&T tech wanting to know if I’m home because he’s done with all his work for the day and saw that my order was the first for Monday. NO EFFERS, I’M NOT HOME! YOU TOLD ME TECHS DIDN’T WORK ON SUNDAYS IN MY AREA! You told me I could leave…deep breath.

Now, I’m a nice girl. Really. I realize that this kind man on the phone is trying to help. I bite my tongue and tell him calmly no, I’m not home (at this point, I just kind of want to cry and look at my date with such a helpless look in my eyes that he goes “oh my gosh Liz, are you ok?” -this amuses me awww.)…and tech-man says, “well let me just go by your house and see what I can do from the outside.” I say thank you, and honestly, don’t have any high hopes. Or low hopes.

But here we are, wireless connected!….no more flashing red lights on the modem that I often feared were going to send me, Gabby or Bella into an epileptic seizure…It amazes and saddens me that the hardworking technicians are probably the most intelligent and customer service oriented members of the entire AT&T family.

AT&T, you suck. Like, at life.

Anyways, I have SO much I’ve been wanting to blog about and share with you guys that I kinda feel like I might explode. I have also been so kindly tagged by a few of you, thank you so much!!! I can’t wait to do them!

I really want to thank Kathleen at Just a Small Town Girl for the award she gave me! Thanks Mama! XOXO I’ll pass on soon!Check out her blog-she’s so witty, honest and soooo gosh darn purdy! She’s Unbeweavable for sure!!! I pretty much just love her. And now I have a place to stay in VEGAS! haha

On an entirely different note, as I mentioned in previous blogs-I am a True Religion girl. They are my FAVORITE JEANS…and jeans are such a pain in the ass to find that once I found ones I loved, and made said ass look fierce, I stockpiled. I used to wear Joes as well…but stopped…until on Thursday I found THESE! Except mine are in the perfect gray, which I’ve been hunting for! Aren’t the signature Joes tags so adorable? It’s definitely the marketeer in me that loves things like TAGS. HA. I want to blow it up and put it over my bed…is that weird? Don’t answer that.

I hope all your weekends were lovely. I hope you put some sass in that ass! Expect lots of love from me!
XOXO, Liz
