Oh my dear sweet jumping jesus on a pogo stick.

AT&T just called me again. Twice in as many hours.

At least this time the guy just hung up without a polite goodbye when I told him someone called me an hour ago.

You are a victim of an evil conspiracy...that which is AT&T.

MCI did the same thing to me the other day. I told the second caller, "You just called me not half an hour ago and I told you I was not interested. Please do not call me again."

ugh...those bastards. Just wait, they will up the calls each day until you go ballistic on someone or cave in. I was getting six calls a day, I reamed the guy royally. I told him I"d been taping my phone calls because I had requested in writing (and had copies) that they stop calling me and they were still calling me and I was going to sue AT&T and open a class action lawsuit because I had several other friends doing the same thing because we were all FUCING SICK OF AT&T!!!!! This punctuated by banshee shrieks of frustration designed to short circuit the persons headset and rupture thier eardrums. I asked for his manager, then that person's manager, and then the manager above them....that person said they didn't have a manager above them and I took their name and told them they were being recorded and if I got another call from AT&T they were screwed.

They didn't call after that. Course, not long after that Indiana implemented their telemarketing law. That's one thing I'm going to miss about Indiana, is the no telemarketing laws. Wonder if I can get someone here in NY to pass that one?

Another useful one is to hand the phone to your jenday parrot, who hates the phone. She will shriek at deafening decibels and attack the bars of her cage like she's demented. Jendays are one of the loudest parrots in the world, I'm thinking of getting another just for the telemarketers.

I like the moosestring phone system. Can I get on that plan?
