Giving Thanks For A Brain
On this day of thanksgiving, I am giving thanks to the gods for being granted the intelligence to see just how absurd the world truly is. On this national day of dead turkey disposal, the wheels of stupidity still turn, as was evidenced by this phone call to Verizon repair service that I just hung up from.
-Me: I wanted to let you know that a tree is down, and leaning precariously against the telephone lines for our entire area, including my T1
-Verizon: I'm sorry, but our technicians don't touch trees
-Me: So you're telling me that you're going to wait until my T1 goes down and becomes an emergency repair on Thanksgiving Day with specialized technicians that make a ton of holiday pay, and THEN you fix it?
-Verizon: Yes
-Me: And you want to wait until the entire area is out, and they're calling you on cell phones, screaming that they can't call their grandmothers, or even the Butterball hotline because they can't cook their turkeys, and THEN you'll come out?
-Verizon: Yes
-Me: Well that's pretty damn LAME, don't you think?
-Verizon: Yes
-Me: Well, all righty then. Have a nice holiday
-Verizon: You too, thank you for calling Verizon
