Our phones are off.

You have NO IDEA how much this enrages me. Really. They've been off since Monday. Because I talked to my mom on Sunday, on the way back from Seattle. Monday? I'm getting the local Sprint bullshit saying that my phone is not in the network.

I have fucking JOBS that could be calling me. I can't check my voicemail. I can't send texts. I'm pretty much fucking screwed.

See, the thing here is that our phones are on Al's phone plan. Me, TJ and her mother's phone are on one bill. We can't get new ones, or even our own account, because there's still almost a year left on the contract. Which pretty much leaves us with relying on them to do all the phone stuff (as we don't have the money for it currently anyhow and that's why the situation is set up like this).

So we are fucked over by people who can't pay their fucking bill on time because they had to buy $600 kevlar-lined tires for TJ's car and now they're having 'money troubles'.

I am /very/ aggravated.

I need to reformat my fucking computer because it keeps fucking up and I'm sick of it. Unfortunately, I'm lacking an XP disc and, well, the patience for that at the moment. I'm also so fucking sick of SimpleMU crashing for stupid reasons and then refusing to load back up so I have to REBOOT MY FUCKING COMPUTER in order to use it again. And no, I don't want to use a different client. I already have BeipMU and MUSHclient and I hate fighting with them to get them to do what I want. And I loathe MUSHclient's start up/'you're not registered' window.

I should go back to bed and hope everything has fixed itself by the time I awaken.

Oh. And now, because my phone is fucking dead and I can't get any calls. I was almost late to my World Market interview only to discover that they moved it to TOMORROW AT 11AM. I'm actually not /that/ angry about this. But if I can bitch about something else and blame it on the lack of a phone, I'll fucking do it.

They -make- kevlar-lined tires? And also: People pay 600 dollars on tires?

I'm sorry Ally, that's really fucking inconvenient. Is there any chance you can call them back using Bob's phone to change the numbers?

Or maybe you'll just luck out and get the World Market job to tide you over until the cell phone comes back on. Just trying to cheer you up, I'm not very good at it, because optimism is sort of a second language for me....sorry. -.-;

Apparently so, with the tire thing. I tried to tell 'em I didn't need freaking $600 tires, but nooooo.

It's okay, I was REALLY pissed off this morning. I get like that when lines of communication are cut.

I'll probably call and bitch about it tonight, point out that I can't very well get a job if my phone is off. D:

Isn't there usually some way to check your voicemail from another phone, like you call your number, get the voice mail, then press some magic buttons, put in your password, and you're in? There usually is, I think. You should look into that.

Most phones have it as either * or # I think, so try those.
