IN PREVIOUS EPISODES:
Me: Hi, I have 768/128 DSL. You now offer 1.5/384. Verizon: Yep, we do. Me: Me want. Verizon: Sure. Order's in. Check in a week if it's not up yet. Me: Kthxbye. (a week) Me: It's not up yet. Verizon: Says here that it is. Me: It's not. Verizon: Lemme check... (transfer) (transfer) You can't have, too far. Me: But me want! Verizon: Move closer. Call back again. Me: Poop. (monthly cycle begins) Me: I still want 1.5/384. Verizon: (transfer) (transfer) (transfer) You're too far away on the loop. Me: Poop. (repeat monthly cycle eight or nine times) IN LAST WEEK'S EPISODE: Me: I still want 1.5/384. This is a recording. Verizon: Sure. Me: What? Verizon: Sure. Order's in.

Me: They said THIS number was the local office. Different Verizon Number: They're on crack. What you need? Me: I still want 1.5/384. They said maybe you can run a new wire. Different Verizon Number: They're on crack. Here, talk to them. (transfer) Me: ... Verizon: Hi, it's us again. Me: KABOOM VENT RANT RAGE WANT SUPERVISOR Verizon: Wow, you're not happy. Me: You noticed. Verizon: Wow, the other departments are on crack. Me: You noticed. Verizon: Don't worry, we're in rehab. WE'RE the sane ones. Me: We'll see. Verizon: No supervisor, in meetings. Me: How con-veeeeeeeenient. Verizon: Running tests. (hold) Running tests. (hold) Running tests. (hold) Running tests. (hold) Call back later today. Me: Kthxbye.
