about sump'n?

Have you ever hired a blonde? If yes, what happened?

[jainen]

I called the blond

I called the blond at the phone company today and complained about the charge for a 12 minute call to Andorra at midnight on March 14. It's my business phone and nobody else touches it and I don't even know where in South America that is, etc. She "checked" my line and said there was nothing wrong with it. I said I'm not getting bogus charges today, but what about March 14? She said she would send something to someone and they would call me within 72 hours. Harrumph.

When I got home, my faithful sidekick reminded me, "Isn't that where your client moved?" Harrumph Harrumph. Not only don't I get a credit, I'm stuck with the caller ID bundle that blond sold me while I was waiting for the line check.

If you are bored

Okay BB and Jainen if you both are bored, I am sure that I can come up with some questions, but be nice with the answers.

Or how about one or both of you post a poll and ask for why?? the answers. We can all learn from them as well.

It is really hot here in So Calif, so have not much else to do as I feel like a prisoner in the house with the A/C on. And I have 2 what seem to me somewhat difficult S Corps to complete.

A poll!

That's a really good idea, Sandy. It would liven things up a bit, but I can't remember how Old Jack said to do it. Do you know?

clients that I wish would move to South America, but around here they can only get about as far away as Little Rock.

Sorry to hear you're sufferin' from buyer's remorse re the caller ID package--oh well, I'm a sucker too for any sales pitchin' female that talks "nice" to me.

I've got an ex-client like yours: he gave me a hot check for his tax return, stole my SSN off it, and opened an account for his personal residence at the electric company in another town. They called me several months later to collect my past due account.

call waiting alarm

>>BB and Jainen if you both are bored<<

I felt my post was exactly on topic, concerning communications equipment as an essential element of practice management. As you wish, I shall pose it as a question.

My bundle includes a privacy screen that will not accept callers who block their ID. Considering that I can't tell who is calling anyway, because I don't have one of them snazzy message screens, is this of any use to me or should I sign up instead for a call waiting alarm?

Speaking of communications equipment, I am sitting here posting messages from my hotel room in Oshkosh WI using a wireless connection from my lap top computer. No more watching stupid cooking shows on cable TV while waiting for the misses to get ready for a long day of visiting relatives.

We even have a suburb of Minneapolis (St Louis Park) that is considering installing wireless internet throughout the entire city. I also got a new van last year with XM radio so that I can listen to the blues station from anywhere in North America.

What will technology be like in another ten years?

If you've got caller ID, you don't have to get a "snazzy message screen." BellSouth makes a handy little display (two-inch screen) gizmo about the size of a deck of cards and you can get it at Wal-Mart for $9.95. Just plug your phone cord into it instead of the wall and you're in business. It's an LED; displays caller's name, number, time, and date. Stores 100 numbers; then starts over.
