Verizon tells us, "You are not worthy of phone service!"

In other words, our home phones (both the voice line and the old modem line) are out. So, if you need to reach us, please use our cell phone numbers.

It's a Nine Days thing. They're re-enacting the breakdown of communications in a city under seige.

And, hey - with the DNC coming here next week, it truly is beginning to feel like that city under seige. You're likely on to something there. :-)

Am I remembering correctly -- hasn't this happened to you several times in the last few years??

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, it has.

Why can't I just post a comment online to your journal? Or send an email? Or a telegram? Or a carrier pigeon? Or think happy thoughts about you?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

All of those are acceptable, as well. :-)

[pressburger.livejournal.com]

Good. Because I don't think I have your cell phone number.

Did Verizon tell you these things in that deep, rumbly James Earl Jones voice?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no. Though the repair guy I spoke to last night had a James-Earl-Jones-ish voice. Not nearly as deep and rich, though.

Sorry!

At least you weren't told, well, we're sorry but there's no way anyone is going to be able to help you until Monday, but your modem is clearly screwed. Have a nice day.

Nope. Though they did at first make us believe that it would be Tuesday before a tech could come out. I managed to convince them to send someone right before shabbat - between 4 and 8 on Friday.

Hope you have service back by now!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Nope. Friday afternoon at the earliest. But thanks.

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

Hope that you'll have service again by the time we see you!

Cell phones rock. Ground lines are unreliable and overpriced.
