Verizoneous

I am on my lunch break now at work…As I am typing this, I have been on hold with Verizon Technical Service Support for 53 minutes. The awful Kenny G type of tenor sax loop that is repeatedly playing, mixed in with “Thank you for your patience!” is absolutely revolting.

If you want to taste the awesome hotness of this little diddy, call 1-866-479-1634.

I live on the 2200 block of Memphis Street and it’s been almost 2 weeks with no DSL Luckily, I have a cell phone and can take my laptop to the Rocket Cat Cafe for checking e-mail. But some people, such as the elderly lady two doors down, do not have a cell phone.

All that I know is that a tree fell down on some wires on Tulip Street and they’re still fixing the problem.

I totally respect the fact that it may take a while for them to fix this, but, my god, their Customer Service Department simply blows…Has anyone else out there had the luxury of dealing with them? Does anyone else out there have their Verizon Service down?

I’ve never had a problem with Verizon before, but I see their trucks driving around my block quite often. They are almost in the same cycle as the Pizza Truck and the Ice Cream Truck.

I’m thinking maybe all the cheap-o bottle rocket type’ve fireworks shot by the Fishtown kids have caused this? Maybe they took aim at a power line until it snapped in half and turned into a massive sparkler…Perhaps the kids around here just need a more powerful array of fireworks to choose from the next time that they are in Thrift Way.

Verizon used to be one of my boys, but I won’t be giving their cultish “V” finger shout out to all ma’ peeps anymore. I used to
watch that commerical and think, man, one day I’ll be representin’ the “V” finger shout out with a big dumb smile on my face, but now my index finger is down and the other finger is up.
