I am trying to type this blog up fast because I don’t know how long I could stay online. I presume that either or both my local phone company and my internet service provider do not seem to work properly the whole day.
I managed to get online earlier this morning to chat with my supervisor at work and then all of the sudden, after making several attempts the whole afternoon, I could no log online, which was not very good for bloggers like me. I would be minimally satisfied knowing that at least one blog made an entry on the same day my creative and beautiful mind manages to churn out for my public’s amusement.
My dial-up service is very reliable, inexpensive and I have been using this since the year of 2000. The ISP is located in Texas. My local area code is 408 and is serviced by a number one phone company. (I Should Be Careful for being too honest). I have the WirePro service plan so I won’t be charged extra fees if the phone company happens to walk onto said property with affected phone service AND happens to find problems related to indoor wiring and/or phone equipments.
I know from the past that the green colored relay boxes have been unlocked in the past and are now secured. There seemed to have been some switching problems in the past that affected my phone service and the fact my phone line either lost dial tone or sounded very noisy. So I know for a fact that both my wiring and phone equipments are fine from my rear end.
This blog is in no way to prove that this phone company is intentionally trying to make me report the many, many incidences via email regarding the phone problems ever since the installation of the secondary phone line back in October 1998.
I have noticed an increase on service vehicle activities (recently blue colored vans with 1 + 1) in and around my neighborhood after an event on September some years ago. They would park almost in the same areas to ‘service’ the remote boxes. Maybe I should get DSL to replace my slow dial-up service from Texas. Perhaps, I will need a DSL filter to reduce the static noises too.
I am angry that us poor folks (especially me) like to dial out once in while to make contact with the outside world from our lonely lives indoors. I am especially angry when a couple of little old ladies speaking in their native Filipino languages were being interrupted by clicking noises. Their phones are also new and both are somewhat hard of hearing.
So the clicking noises they once heard during their conversations over the telephone does disservice for these nice ladies who worked very, very hard under this great union that our Civil War Soldiers fought so hard with their own lives so that the future old timers would have better lives in freedom and peace.
Isn’t time we all get along and stop being so paranoid if some non-English speaking folks happen to scream over the phone while in a heated debate over some bingo game at a local Christian church? I think we’d better learn to trust each other once and for all and get the real perpetrators of injustices done or being done towards the poor folks, the old folks and plain folks with special needs to get around town.
I am being very adamant right now because I love communicating and the phone, along with internet service, are good tools to allow this one writer her insights and experiences to be expressed to her public. Basically, it is simply not safe to have a phone line not working in case of emergency. Amen, I say!
