Comedy of Errors, and a Bike List
Fun with Phone Lines! My advice when dealing with SBC, or any other organization with rooms and rooms full of customer service agents: keep calling back until you get the answer you want. Quick Quiz: what's the difference between binding posts and a tagged phone line? Answer: lots of money, even though they both serve the same purpose!
I'm hoping that since someone had no trouble cutting the phone lines (twice) the week we moved in, the SBC technician will be able to get into wherever the lines live to tag them on Saturday. I'm tempted to ask why they didn't tag them when they installed them in their unidentifiable-binding-post states on Tuesday, or even when they came to tag the OTHER line yesterday, but I know that would merely expose me as an overly rational, practical person.

Today's Bike List tells a story:
- 1 tiny piece of glass embedded in a tire
- 1 block of wondering why the hell the bike was making such odd noises all of a sudden (um, that would be the rim on pavement)
- 2 hands somewhat greasy from removing the rear wheel
- 1 unexpected train ride home with the wheel in hand
- 1 sad (but still gorgeous) bike keeping me company in the office while I wait on hold.
