Awake: 6:23am Temp 32 sleep 5+45 cloudy overnight @ Indiana, PA.
We both have different projects & goals today….that’s why Kathy is up
early. She is doing our laundry + Melissa’s towels, bed sheets, blankets,
duvet covers, etc. I have the easy job: just making a few phone calls to
the Sprint Company, or so I thought.
Kathy leaves @ 9:15am with a few bundles of our laundry under her arms.
The Foote bundles are already taking space in the back seat of the Suzuki
as Kathy collected those items yesterday before heading back to our
hangout @ the Super 8.
The young lady from Sprint that I had been talking with last night who
wanted our business agreed to call me back later this morning sometime
between 10:00 & 12 noon EST. While waiting for her call, I continued
looking up different Sprint & Nextel phones & air cards using the WI-FI in
the Super 8 Motel. The young lady called around 10:30am; we talked &
haggled over rebates & price differences comparing the Internet price vs
the Sprint price. This back & forth discussion continued for over an hr;
many times apologizing to me that she had to talk with her supervisor. I
was very patient & finally we were both in agreement of what was
acceptable for the contract. She apologized one more time, told me she
would have to have the contract signed by her supervisor & would call me
back in 15, 20 minutes. “Fine, I told her. I will wait for your call.”
Time went quickly as I continued browsing on the Internet & doing other
things. When I finally realized the time, it was about 2 hrs later. She
never called back & there is no recourse. You cannot call them. There are
46 call centers in the USA + they don’t give out their last names. Wasted
time, I couldn’t believe it!
So I called the Foote house, left a message for Kathy to come over, pick
me up so I could spend a little time with the boys. I waited 20 min or
longer & left another message. When Kathy did call back, she said they
were outside, missed my call & now Matthew is taking his bath. She said
it’s probably too late to come over now. Dang and I wanted to spend a
little time with the boys & say my goodbyes before we leave tomorrow. Yes,
I thought I would have the easy job today, ha!
Well, not to have a completely wasted day, I did patiently make another
call & connected with another Asian person, Dennis. He was more
understandable, was computer savvy, told me that the air card that the
other person selected would take up two USB ports & suggested another card
that would plug into the side of my Dell computer & not use up my USB
ports. I was glad to get that information. He also educated me on the air
card; saying that it is really like another phone & utilizes a phone
number as well. I did order this recommended Air Card from Sprint with
Dennis’ help.
6:45 dinner: Spinach Lasagna, Oriental beef over rice with a
broccoli/bacon salad & Waldorf salad. Kathy brought this dinner back from
Roseanne’s.
Late evening: we watch the O’Reily Factor & other assorted shows.
