Random, stupid things on your mind

What's Matlock?

By the way, I hate that song (it was played seemingly non-stop on the radio when it came out) - it's the perfect irritant when on hold

Ask Shay what Matlock is. @ShayP tell him. Isn't he the Mayberry guy? A coroner?  Oh fuck I don't know.    Is he Fonzie?

PB, You hate all music unless it is some kind of pretentious jazz or blues that you find in woke pussified club in SF. Don't get me wrong though, I like both jazz and blues, but it too has been hijacked by posers in hard left cities like yours.

What about Don Knotts?

A jazz sandwich on Mayberry?

Try harder

I don't know what's happening.

Some things are best left as a mystery...

What isn't a mystery is that AT&T support is a fucking joke.

I spent an hour and 40 minutes plus on the phone with the Philippines and a girl from Mississippi living in Dallas-Fort Worth... Now, the girl from America pleasant and told me she needed to escalate me, but she transferred me right back into the main queue and I had to start from scratch. I would like to think it was out of ignorance as opposed to intentional...

This problem has occurred twice and both times and the representative who helped me was Egyptian. I was not only helped, it was done like in the first 10 minutes as opposed to spending hours on the phone.

I am now of the belief that when I call, and I hope I never have to again, I will hang up if it's a Filipino.

AT&T sucks, and has for a long time, like most of woke corporate Amerika.  I’ve been happy with this outfit for cell service.

At least I get someone who speaks American and not Abu, calling himself “Joe,” in a third world crap hole when I’ve called them.

Good point.  Some things are better left as a mystery.

I just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T.  Ugh.  Hopefully I have no issues.  Your story mirrors what I went through with T-Mobile.

Now I have regret.

I had AT&T a long time ago.  Got tired of their corporate insanity and switched to T-Mobile.  When T-Mobile evolved into crapola, I switched to PureTalk several years ago and have been satisfied with their service and support.  We’ll see how long it lasts before they catch the disease.

Now I have regret. 

if it makes you feel better I'm still on T-mobile. Only one I've tried so far and I do the pay as you go thing. I just top it up every three months. Might move to puretalk when this current three month block is up.

Yes, I try to avoid getting sucked into long-term contracts anymore, so I have the option to move on if the service begins to suck.  Being able to walk away is a great thing.

Yesterday, I fired my lawyer.

This morning, I settled by talking turkey directly to the man who would be cutting the check.

$32,000+ after 3 months of awful representation. My lawyer initially refused to even ask for that amount, I went ahead because it was the right thing...

Having a bunch of lawyers in my extended family, I will continue to disparage the profession.

$32,000? what the hell are you up to?

My wife's family are lawyers and such. Her father started a prominent firm in Montreal many years ago and sold it for 9Mish back in 09. They're incredible people/in-laws. Until they're mad at you. And then you're fucked.

To be self-aggrandizing, $32k is one of my smaller things of late.. I'm working my way towards resolving shit before I'm not able to resolve things...

My in-laws are interesting.  Very successful even the bro-in-law who quit a major executive position to write books, edit famous writers and do a traditional gaming website...

One of these extended members is part of a major automotive family.  I think about begging for a free car often (because I'd never buy that brand)... It won't ever happen ☹️

I love Ting.  They're rolling out fiber home services too.
