Evening all!

Can’t check e-mail Why? Hell, I don’t know. I have Windstream, and I’m on hold. If I hear one more chorus of the bouncy little guitar lick, behind a series of a really gay guy’s list of shit I can get from Windstream - while waiting to talk to a real person - oh wait! The little pre-recorded gay guy is telling me I should use Windstream to pay all my bills on-line!

Oops. More silly guitar licks, with the recorded gay guy telling me that I can ask questions by sending an e-mail directly to Windstream!

How cool is that! Ooops. The reason I called the hotline is….my Freakin’ e-mail isn’t working.

Oh. cool, more guitar licks - no, it could be banjo - nope it’s guitar. Whoever recorded the hold music only knew four chords. I hate him.

Oh now he (the gay guy) is reminding me that I can get “lightning fast web service in my neighborhood” by spending more money with this useless picece of shit.

Oh wayt! I can “sign up today” for more services - from the freakin’ company that’s had me on hold now for over fifteen minutes.

Is the internet pretty much an anonymous way to communicate with my friends?

It is? Okay, here’s my take on it: Don’t ever, ever do any business with Windstream. Even if, and they don’t really let anyone, you could talk to a human being, by the time you get through to a real person, the only thing you’ll want to know is who the mealy-mouithed gay guy youi’ve been listening to for the last half hour is, and where he lives.
