Just an FYI (not that anyone in particular would care)

I'm getting screwed over by Qwest, and they will likely be disconnecting my phone soon. I've already received a disconnect notice.

They're the only company that deals with this town, and I'm not paying this $100 bill when I was promised a resolution by their loyalty dept. which never came to fruition. A long, illogical call to their useless and annoying customer service (complete with mindless Xmas muzak&ads) accomplished nothing.

If I want to check my email I'll have to cycle a ways in the snow to a hotspot, assuming they have it on. I haven't received a personal letter or message in months, so I doubt I'll bother.

That really sucks. :( And a router wouldn't much less expensive. That really sucks.

Hope you can figure something out or that the phone company stops being idiotic in lieu of the Christmas spirit. :?

I have a router, and I could make another using components if I needed.

What I lack is a reasonable provider.

I don't need a phone (nobody has called me in years), I don't need a billion BS FCC charges, I don't need any added frustration...

Whatever, everything else is going downhill, no reason to expect this to be any different.

I would hate to see you go. I hope things work out. If not, I wish you well in the future.

Ah yes, Qwest. I remember them well. Had them when I lived in Santa Fe. They were so sweet... :?

Is that your necklace and chin in the picture? I don't want to say goodbye until I know more about you. Please do tell. And feel free to share what else is on the fritz.

Yea, that's me.

Not many things which aren't on the fritz, but then I've been living on borrowed time.

That's only fair.
