House phone just rang. The guy starts speaking Spanish (even after having heard me speaking English only to him in person). He barely speaks English, doesn't have enough common sense to identify himself as ATT until after the third time I ask, who is this, what do you want? (I THOUGHT it was him, but wasn't sure) calls me Mirriam (which A) I'm a customer, give me the respect of my LAST NAME, and b) that isn't my first name, either) and tells me it's fixed. I tell him NO, it's not, I hear a loud ECHO. Have to tell him 3 times before he decides that just telling me it's fixed isn't going to fly, not when I hear my own voice coming back-ack at-at me-me. So, he's going to be calling back after a) doing something else or b)waiting a few minutes in the expectation that this time I'll believe he's fixed it without him having actually done anything.
Mmm... no dial tone. So I guess he's doing SOMETHING.
In other news, the walking dove almost walked on top of my shoes. I suspect it's thinking 'Big Predator that doesn't eat Doves, might Protect me from Small Predators that DO eat Doves.'... that is, if doves think.
Ok, possibly. last ATT update today- he said he reported the metal box for replacement, and something called RT lines *might* be reported for replacement (each to take at least a couple of days) and he was working to finish up some kind of neighborhood 'box' 4 houses down. If it's nothing worse than the echo, I'll wait a few days before inquiring if they're going to do anything else.
So. Very. Tired... and can't move far from house telephone, in case he calls, so that means no relaxing looking for butterflies...
