Phone line is on (or will be this afternoon)

Posted August 19, 2004

If you want to reach Mags or myself, (08) 9472 9360 is the number to use. It should be getting connected by end of business tonight.

On a slight downer, because there was some confusion over the final payment of the line I had in Como 18 months ago, we can only make local calls. I must be in the bad books somewhere on their systems.

The funny part was the dude asked me a bunch of questions trying to ‘upsell’ the connection. These were along the lines of “Telstra offer other services on home lines. Would you like caller ID enabled at a cost of blah dorras per month?” The funny one was “will you be connecting to the internet today” to which I replied “yes, but not with Telstra.” I made him cry.

    You’re not willing to put your address online, but when it comes to your phone number it’s a completely different story? What’s up with that?

    My address means you can come around and hassle Maggie when I’m not here.

    My phone number means you can call Maggie and hassle her while I’m not here, and then we call Telstra and they liase with the police.

    As for the Grey Pages, well these things are so outdated it’s not funny. My (or rather, Steve’s) Sandgate number didn’t show up.

    Damn, and I thought that person on the other line was a “husky voiced woman” after all this time I’ve been calling YOUR number?
