I have a question

Seeing that, when you call the telephone company, they can identify the number you’re calling from, and all the trouble reports that you’ve made for that number all without the need for human intervention, why can’t they automatically close “no dial tone” trouble reports when you call from the same number you reported the trouble on?

Yes our phone is working again, the outside line tech got it fixed yesterday, so there’s no need for the inside tech to come out Monday. But when you call them back to cancel that appointment, you have to meander through a long, complex automated system that tells you both what number you’re calling from and what open tickets you have. Seems to me that someone should build in an automatic report closing tool, instead of making their customers find the option to talk to a rep, and cancel the appointment.

I’m laying 5 bucks that says they show up Monday even though we canceled the appointment. Takers? 😉

  • So much for getting caught up.

    Seems our ISP started filtering email over the weekend for “adult language”. One day in and they’re already blocking legitimate email to us. Heck our freakin’ Webtrends reports were blocked. I hate filters, and this is why. It’ll block way more legitimate email than it will catch “adult” email, and either way, it’s not worth…

    A stunning display of incompetence, that is. I get on the Time Warner support people quite a bit, because as a RoadRunner subscriber we’ve had our share of difficulties with them. Just to show that it’s not us, the person I hired as part of Angela’s Xmas gift to do a new graphic look for…

    Quiet blog today, I’m having one of those “Do any of you people even pay attention to what goes on around here, or do you just wait for me to do it for you?” mornings…. Sometimes trying to be good at your job, and staying on top of things, just isn’t worth it when no…
