Thanks, AOL

While I was writing that entry, my phone rang. It said it was from an 888 number, and I thought it could be the delivery guys, so I answered it. No, oh no. It was AOL. They wanted to know about my internet connection.

I told the very young man that my internet connection had been just fine, but now that I answered the phone I was going to be kicked offline because of the kind of router I have and that I had been writing something and would now lose it.

He was young enough and probably new enough on the job to be embarrassed. He asked me if I have dial up or high speed internet service, and then I realized what the call was about. I told him that I have high speed, that I am happy with what I have, and have everything I need, except what I just wrote.

He thanked me and told me if I need anything to go to Keyword: High Speed Internet. I said thanks and hung up.

I got that call too except it was from a woman, then right after that I got a call from my cable company offering me showtime.  I am so glad I don't have their jobs!  I could never be that nice all day long!  ~Rose
