Today, I discovered another joy of home ownership. I picked up the phone to make a call, and no dialtone. Only now, because I'm a homeowner, if there's a problem with the phone line, it's not the landlord's problem; it's my problem!
Interestingly enough, my DSL is working enough to let me post this blog entry (though the connection does keep cutting out), even though I have no phone service.
Hooray for technology!
My AT&T service appointment options? Saturday between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. (way to narrow down the window there, folks) or Saturday between noon and 4 p.m. I picked the one that didn't leave me shackled to my house for 12 hours.
We'll see how many minutes before the technician arrives my dial tone comes back. This is an extra fun game, because if everything is working when the technician arrives, I get to pay a $55 fee. Yay! If there is a problem, but it's inside my house, I not only get to pay that fee, but the technician will tell me the super-secret current hourly rate for service, so that I can decide if I want the problem fixed.
This game just keeps getting better and better.
