tuesdays with gigglemom
January 4, 2005 10:30 AM

so i am feeling punky... throat is somewhat sore, chest is kinda not feeling good when i breathe...

anyway, last night, gigglemom was like "do my legs look swollen?"

um... yes, actually they do...

so i type in her symptoms: headache, shortness of breath, swelling of legs, throw in a little confusion, chronic dry cough and guess what i got?

so she calls her primary doc this morning and the twit receptionist (really, people, if any of you are receptionists, it's not about you... i am talking about the guy at the doctor's office, so no hate mail, please) and he's all like "sorry, the doctor is full today, a lot of people have sore throats..."

um... yeah, this MAY be congestive heart failure and ya' can't squeeze her in?

fantastic. given her heart problems, you would think they would... but no.stupid heart.

while she's on the phone getting upset, i get a call from verizon wireless saying i owe them $537.82

eh...pardon?

hell no. i just got that whole kilobyte thing straightened out a week and a half ago... the woman that day said they were crediting me $306.75

anyway, "Alexis", from verizonwireless calls and was like "you have to send in $412.40"

yadda yadda yadda... hell no.

i explain to her that i have already straightened this out a week or so ago and that i really don't have time for this because i am trying to get to the hospital with my mother... and she's all like "well, i am going to shut your phone off"

fuck you verizon.

anyway, i have her transfer me to customer service so i can get this straightened out (AGAIN)...

on hold 6:30 minutes!!!! are you kidding me??!

"Alexis" comes back on the line and i was like "DID YOU NOT HEAR ME WHEN I SAID I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH MY MOTHER'S DOCTOR AND TRYING TO GET HER TO THE HOSPITAL?"

alexis: "Dat's not my problem"

oh hell no she didn't just.....

and so i said "I am livid with verizon and am wondering why i ever switched from Sprint... this is ridiculous and..."

Alexis: "Whoops"

and she hung the effing phone up....

so then i call Customer Service... on hold again (at this point i am trying to get ready for the hospital) and some idiot named "Tasha" gets on the line

(i swear they are employing strippers at Verizon, what with their names and lack of braincells and all)

don't have time to get into how LITTLE service she gave to this customer...

anyway...

i am schlepping my cold-riddled self to the hospital because gigglemom is feeling like hell (maybe if she stopped effing smoking, that'd be great... and before you post about the smoking thing, we already went over that in the comments a week or two ago...)

okay. i will let y'all know what the what is a little later...
