I’m Mad As ----And I’m Not Gonna Take It Any More

Actually, I’m over my mad now. I have been in miscommunication with a communications company for nearly two months now. Part of the lack of rapport is due to their having tech reps who have English as a second or third or ? language who speak in heavy accents that are difficult to understand over the phone. Part is the fact that these reps are programmed to insist that the customer do everything according to their demands. And, finally, no matter what they promise, they can’t or won’t produce.

So, I’m firing them and trying again. Please wish me better luck this time with a new company. They promise enough that I am suspicious of them also, but I really need DSL or cable internet service, because dial-up is just too slow and, of course, it ties up my phone line when it’s in use.

I live in hope that I won’t have to spend hours on the phone with the new company trying to get the service they promise.

Old age, especially in these modern times, is definitely not for the weak or meek.
