ReplyDeleteDue to recent numerous phonecalls to get satisfaction with Telstra I can wholeheartedly sympathise! Things will get better I'm sure, just post moving hassles. Take big breathes!!!
ReplyDeleteBut Jackie... we haven't even moved yet!!!! All of that was just to get the internet reconnected HERE after they disconnected it early....!!! UGH. I shudder to think what the actual moving of the service will be like....
ReplyDeleteAnd [bummer] you can't have alcohol! This does not sound like fun, at all :(
ReplyDeletePriceless :)
ReplyDeleteoh bugger! What a pain in the arse! ALL of it. Is the mr who didn't return the car on time still alive, because mine would be hard pressed to breathe after such a thing
ReplyDeleteOnly 1 nervous breakdown? That is very well done considering!
ReplyDeletethat sucks. lots of peeps at PG today, we missed you + punky.
ReplyDeleteI too hate being on the phone to telstra :(
It's amazing how you don't realise howmuch you rely on it until it's gone.
ReplyDeleteOur day sounds so similar it's scary! Moving day isn't till Saturday, but dealt with telstra- same thing happened! Bloody Optus's fault for not being at my new place. Why can't you have any alcohol? I'm onto my third beer, thank God (yes, a relapse, but I figure moving does that to you!)
ReplyDeleteWow, only 79 times. That shows great restraint.
ReplyDeleteDo you know, when we got slowed earlier this year, I secretly recharged the wireless account, stuck it in the laptop and happily blog surfed ~ and told no-one.
I'm such an only child.
Nooo Vic! What a day :O
