Verizon Sucks

ARGH!
Stoopid Verizon. They blow chunks as a cell phone company *smacks them around thoroughly* I mean, WTF? 0.50 a MINUTE for overages? I can do better than that with a pay phone! Grrrrr. So I got a bill of around $350 this month. *sigh* I know, I know, I've been talking to Jenn([livejournal.com profile] soliloquy) too much. *grumps* I need to be more careful with my timing. Damn cell phone companies, they are making a killing off of BOTH of us. ARGH.

I WAS going to send Jenn flowers for Valentines day, but that plan is now nixed since I am essentially broke (and I am NOT digging into my tax refund, that $$ goes for the security deposit on our apartment when Jenn moves out here)

*sigh*

Well, I need to harrass my mom tonight into going to another cell company. Alltell or something. Also I need to give her the info on bundleing her interweb, phone, and cable. I also have to work at my Dad's flower shop tonight since it is the NIGHT OF DOOM (aka Valentines Day Eve) blech. lots of Bulhooey to do. Might as well make a list

+ Write HTML for new site
+ Call Mandy II and harrass her about Tshirt and Anime Club
+ Finish HTML and poll for SFanimeclub.com
+ Send Jenn her new icon
+ Work on laundry
+ Email SWLoli about TMNT Lolita dress

sigh. I'm so sick of evilness. GO AWAY CORPORATE AMERICA!

huh? you don't have unlimited night and weekend minutes? yeah, verizon is evil and charges you for every little thing but then again so do other cellphone companies. I'm lucky enough to still have this old plan from cellularone that alltel can't take away from me unless I sign a new contract..heh. I get 1000 anytime minutes with it and now I think they only give you 500 for the same price. But I think they still have the better deal than other cell companies *shrugs*

yes, i have free nights and weekends, and I have 2100 minutes to share between our phones. The bastards @ verizon say if I start a call at 8:59PM (1 minute before free nights start) and talk for an hour, that whole hour counts against my minutes and isnt free. THAT is why verizon can go fuck itself with a rusty screwdriver grrrr. I think I'm going over to Alltel within a month or 2 since I'm out of the evil grasp of Verizons contract

wow that's strict and sucks..yah you should switch over...as far as I know, alltel doesn't do that.

I'm sorry the phone company are being chunk heads. Cingular (aka AT&T or whatever they are this month) made a killing off of me last month for December's and the first part of January's bills!

I totally understand that we'll have to cut back on our phone usage because we can't get enough of talking to each other. ;-)
Maybe this is yet another sign that I'm going to be out there soon. That's what I'm telling myself, anyway. Heh. (My tax refund is also going towards the down payment on whatever place we get out there. Yay for having the money for that at least!)

I love you, and I hope you get the things on your list done!

Well, it's off to get something to eat real quick with Tabatha and Steve, and then it's sleepy-time so I can scrape together whatever shut eye I can get before I have to work yet another 10-hour shift tomorrow morning.

Take care,
Jenn
