This morning I got up with the best of intentions. Today I was going to accomplish a lot of things. I was planning on getting to the bank and depositing some grocery money in Ellen's bank account, and go to the gym, and get the HD channels arranged with Telus and get Ellen's cell phone bundled with the Bell Aliant bill so that we don't forget to pay it, get some groceries, return some shoes, and package up the stuff to send to Meredith. That was the plan. I started this at 9 am.
I sat down, still in my jammies,with my coffee and figured that I could get the Telus call out of the way quickly. I finished with them by 10:45 am. We will now get HBO and the sports channels have been eliminated, and they will be sending us a new remote by snail mail so that we don't have to use the remote three inches from the sensor. OK, so then I figured I have wasted this much time on the phone so I might as well tackle Bell with the cell phone thing. It is now 12:45 and I am still in my jammies, and totally wiped out.
When we set up the cell phone account it appeared to be quite simple. I was told that once we had the account activated and had the phone, it would be one simple phone call to get the phone plan purchased at Bell Mobility bundled with the Bell Aliant account. I was not informed in which universe this would happen . I think I have spoken to every department in both Bell Mobility and Bell Aliant, and even one pleasant young woman at PC Mobile. My favourite was the person who told me that he couldn't help me because I never had had a delinquent account, he could only do something for me if the account had been sent to collections. These systems are enough to make one want to live off the grid.
If I go to the gym now, I might make it to the bank before it closes, and can get the shoes returned. There is a tin of soup in the cupboard that I can add some stuff to for supper, and we'll still make it to Tai Chi at 7pm.
Excellent! A new plan!
I hope all the things that I was trying to arrange this morning actually happen or I'll have to go through it all again!
