They were almost always due to middle management not telling upper management what is actually going on with their business. So I'll keep squawking in hopes somebody in upper management will actually catch wind of my rant and be curious enough to do something.<BR/><BR/>Funny thing is, on February 12th I casually visited for about 20 minutes with the CEO of SBC and the boss lady of AT&T during the closing rounds of the AT&T Pro-Am on the 18th green at Pebble Beach - while waiting for a few mandatory photo ops with the eventual tournament winner. If only I had known then what would be happening later. But I was just being nice, THEN.<BR/><BR/>btw, I'm actually commenting on this from an all-night internet cafe on Praed Street near Edgware Road in the Marylebone District of London, W1, and have no way of knowing whether my DSL connection at home has finally been fixed or not. So when I arrive home Tuesday night I guess we will find out, or not. <BR/><BR/>If it would ever interest either of you, contact me if your hubby and you ever want to attend the company namesake pro-am in mid-February.49erDweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376084827120286674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13211373.post-1146258243597684102006-04-28T14:04:00.000-07:002006-04-28T14:04:00.000-07:00my husband works for SBC and ever since they merge...my husband works for SBC and ever since they merged with AT&T he has noticed a change in the customer service. My hubby is a phone tech and by the time he goes to service someone's phone, they are all mad about their morning's conversations with the company.Sadie Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362158642491145353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13211373.post-1145379552863735332006-04-18T09:59:00.000-07:002006-04-18T09:59:00.000-07:00All the best to you, 49er.

Thankfully we had looked up or arranged for pretty much everything we wanted to do in London ahead of time, but it sure is lousy not having reliable access just before a holiday trip! <BR/><BR/>But to put everything in perspective, it is merely a nuisance, not a castastrophe. <BR/><BR/>We are almost packed and looking forward to a Wednesday early afternoon departure - flying the northern route from SFO to LHR over your 'neck of the woods', as it were!<BR/><BR/>(Each room in our hotel has hi-speed internet access, so maybe I'll take the laptop and be able to troll some there, late at night. Or not)!<BR/><BR/>Cheers49erDweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376084827120286674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13211373.post-1145239092828509292006-04-16T18:58:00.000-07:002006-04-16T18:58:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear about your trouble, 49er.
