1. Kill Verizon

I just got a bill for $1,654.00


Not bad for a month, eh? It's only TEN times my average bill.

Tell Little Al to quit texting so much. I hear that it's all the rage these days with the youngsters.

Holy moly. Might be time to look into those "unlimited use" plans.
Or scrap the multiple T1s coming in for high-speed access to critical olive oil information.

I have metroPCS, which is only available in some areas. But it's available everywhere I need it, and I pay $50/month for unlimited time and text with no surprises.

neener neener

that hurts. gotta love those hidden fees.

speaking of to-do lists and murder, my husband was helping me clean out my old purses before we moved down here. i tend to leave shit in random pockets and wanted to see what was left in them.

the husband pulls out a piece of scrap paper, looks at it, and hands it to me without saying a word. it said:

TO DO MONDAY

1. fix back room shelving
2. reorganize backstock
3. re-number shoes and keep in order!
4. kill all these motherfuckers who fuck up my backstock
5. mon. mail
6. start pre-listing inventory in backstock drawers

he didn't help me clean out the rest of my purses after that

I had AT&T when I moved to St. George. When I called them to tell them I was moving there they told me that they wanted me to change cell services because they only offered "roaming" in that area and it would be too expensive for them to keep me. So I changed to Verizon.

A month later I get a bill from AT&T for around $275 for early termination of my contract. When I called and told them I wouldn't pay since they asked me to leave, the operator says "well how about you pay half." That's when the shite hit the fan and I talked to people a little higher up. I ended up paying nothing.

Verizon is charging people for not using long distance.

Awesome. I actually beat most of the bill.
First off, it was texting. My darling little princess has a boyfriend now. Nice enough little squirt and he's totally terrified of me, that's a good thing.

But... after two years of her being all cool and shit about the texting (I had not opted for the $30 per month unlimited text plan because she is all cool about not going apeshit and stuff) she goes teen on me and racks up (ready for this, Verizon was quite impressed) 9,280 texts in a little over 6 weeks. that's NINE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY.
YES!!! When my kid does something she does it RIGHT!!!
My darling little overachiever that she is.
She and boyfriend are a tad bit freaked out at the moment, expecting much violence and horror to befall them. He has offered to pay part of it which I decided was a good reason to let him live.

Anyway, they are stewing in their misery at the moment, not sure of their fate so one with the good news.

Verizon screwed up. they sent the bill ($700+)last month to my old address and not to Hooterville, the current abode. They even sent this month's bill to the old address but they sent the dunning notice to the NEW address.
I pointed out that had they not made that admitted error, I would have never allowed the bill to grow to $1654.00. I did not deny responsibilty for the messaging but argued that they did have my new address and had misdirected the bill one other time, which they admit to also.
My ace in the hole was that as of the end of this month, my 2 year contract with them was up.
I offered this deal, do something about the ridiculous bill and I would sign for 2 more years. Do nothing and I would pay it (as I was legally indebted to them for it) but would take my business to another carrier, like AT&T.
They offered this, They would agree if I would accept adding the $30 a month unlimited text to the account. They then retro'ed the account for two months. I now have a new 22 month contract and the text bill is forgiven except for $210 in time overages or some shit.
whew

got new phones too.

I am taking Kill Verizon off the To Do list.

it would be much much easier to quit using a cell phone and pocket the cash

no bill, no fuss, and importantly, no microwaves to the brain.

Gotta have the phone now, Tefl. My businesses are structured around it. I;m hooked.
The balloon co gives me an allowance for the phone too.
