kevin calls customer service 9:30pm. and is greated by a message promissing quality.
Gloria answers.
kevin demands the number be put on do not call - she can see it on her caller id
she says they just handle billing, they don't even know who that company is.
she puts me on hold, tries to dial 1800showgirls number
a long time passes, she can't figure out the real number
i have to convert it for her (kevin's not too good at this sort of thing)
i give her the number, she calls, and verifies that they do billing for them.
i ask to be taken off their list. and how do i contact them directly
she says i use their 800 number - i say, but i don't want that phone number, i want to talk to person to get off their list.
she recods my name (wrong): kevin hebley - as it appears in the phone book.
i read her the message I received, and she said it sounded fishy - she said that their customer does not make house calls, it's done all over the phone. I said i thought so, and that i wanted to talk to that company directly to complain.
i read her the message verbatum, she tooks notes of it, and she recommend i call during regular business hours (customer service there) and ask for the Day Supervivors or Manager.
I pressed her for how to contact the Ultimate ShowGirls company directly, but she would not budge, only the recommendation I talk to someone above her during normal hours.
I thank her for her time.
Maybe i'll call them monday.
Moral of the story: Alodia will help you call porn numbers. Porn number companys are hard to get ahold of if you want to talk about something other then sex AND get them off your phone. It's turning out to be really cool that the phone company put our names wrong in the phone book - it helps us sort out junk voicemail and mail.

so explain to me about how having your name wrong in the phone book it gets people like this to call you?
alodia helps you call porn numbers?
do you guys have caller id?
wow.. this wasn't a very nerdy tail. it was more of customer service nightmare type post.
no, no, you've missed the point.
having your name wrong in the phone book allows you to quickly sift through legemitate vs. ill-legimate mail and calls.
we don't have caller id - we don't even have long distance. we use onesuite.com for longdistance = cheeper.
alodia helped me understand that dialing just ignores the extra numbers - so i'm giving her credit as a supporter for helping facilitate the call.
and as far as the 'nerdy' portion of the post: well maybe i took some liberties.
now, where's my supper! my grilled cheese is wearing off.
now the real question is, "why in the world are you not on the national do not call list?" use a brain cell kev. okay wait, actually you probably used all yours up. so tell alodia to use her brain, i know it is working, and go to https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx
then you can just sort out the weird people that dial random phone numbers... instead of sex calls.
oh ya, i was going to address the nerdyness. for someone who probably still knows the frequency that a quarter made in pay phones, you sure don't know a lot about dialing phone numbers. go alodia! you are a much better, useful nerd.
grilled cheese? for the longest time I thought it was GIRLED CHEESE (no really, i did)
and then when I found out otherwise i thought less of girls.
are you kidding? kev knows the sound a quarters makes when shoved through the display of a cell phone.
... driven by a golf club from the goodwill.
goodwill rocks.
i'm currently torn between options:
like letting my cracked headlamp stay on my car, or buying another one for 130$.
130$ seems a bit steep when light comes out of the other one (albeit, not as much)
I think that just the fact that Kev is a nerd makes it a nerdy post.
NOW i'm on the do not call list.
