Ok so my birthday is coming up. Man do I hate this time of year. Everyone want to be nice to you. They all go, "So what are your plans for the future." I want to say, "What future?" Everyone wants to be nice to me for my birthday. Like it's a special occasion that they should be nice on. Like last year on my birthday ... you know what that birthday sucked. I spent the beginning of the day with my head on the table in the lunch room. Thats before they moved all the tables around. But thats not the point.

For my birthday I am getting the new motorola v710. I have dropped my phone enough so I figure it's time for an upgrade and with vacation coming up I can use a camera phone. Plus I can now have a depressing moBlog. Look for more melancholy to come.

So I ordered a phone over the Internet and then the computer craps out so I did not get the order number. I figure no problem they will send me a confirmation. No confirmation comes so I have to call them on the phone. I spend hours, you read that right ... hours, trying to deal with them. They send me from one department to another. Purchasing can not track orders they can only sell stuff. I talked to human resources. Those dumb asses. But what do I expect for a company that spent 70 dollars 706 times trying to register domain names such as verizonsucks.com. Those idiots then forgot that someone could just buy verizonREALLYsucks.com. 70*706 is $49,420.00 So thats where all the money is going to.

The best part occurs when you call these people at midnight. This is their service message: "Verizon Wireless. We never stop working for you. Thank you for calling our customer service number. To talk to a customer service representative please call us Monday through Friday. 7:00am to 6:30pm." I was so confused by that, the more I thought about it the more I thought a blood vessel would burst in my brain.

So after HOURS on the phone with no one to talk to I figure lets just go to one of the stores. First they tell me that I am not elligible for a new phone. I have no idea what they are talking about. Then no more then 7.5 seconds later he says that my order is in the mail. He gives me a confirmation number and I leave. Verizon-blows.net.

So after all that crap my new phone should be here on Thursday.
