The Passion

August 22

Franklin, TN

THE RANT: OK... yesterday's technical issues were frustrating. Today the
story got even more twisted. I spent most of the day (9:00 am to 2:30 pm)
on the phone back and forth between Earthlink and Bellsouth. It now seems
that "a Bellsouth business sales rep" that visited our office last Thursday
on a "courtesy" call took it upon herself to call in an unauthorized request
for a switch to Bellsouth Fast Access DSL while using the phone in my office
to "fix the time stamp" on our voicemail. This started the whole chain of
events that shut down my wireless network at the office :( STILL NOT FIXED.

I can't keep up on this phone modem at home. I'm doing well to just post a
picture right now. I did not need all of this down time right now. Someone
at Bellsouth is going to have to pay for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a beautiful image.
BellSouth owes you big-time!
They are obviously not teaching their reps that a
network doesn't work like a plug and play USB gadget.
Good Luck.

For several weeks I have been having ISP problems and they MAY be fixed NEXT WEEK! But at least mine is not a business. Frustrating for you, Scott. But in the meantime this is the most creative image of a passion flower that I have ever seen.

They'll bet business by hook or by crook. And, in the meantime, this is a lovely photo.
