ok so at 11:50pm the stupid pager goes off... scared the livin' bejesus out of me because I was already sound asleep, sawing logs like my life depended on it... I awake to the sound of my mother freaking out and wheezing beyond control...
The number on the front was all scrambled and didin't resemble a phone number at all so as per instructions we call the hospital...
TO - "Transplant ward..."
ME - "Hi, my mother's pager just went off but the number on the screen is scrambled. Her name is Dorothy Millette"
TO - "OK hang on, let me check ..."
The phone goes silent for a few moments...
TO - "Hi, yes it says here there is a lung transplant here for tonight but your mother's name isn't the one that was called. If the pager goes off again please call us back..."
ME - Dumbfounded and still in a stooper... "Uhhhh... Ok so " not really sure what to say I proceed... "OK so just call you if it goes off again?"
TO - "yup, that's right..."
ME - "OK thanks then... Good Bye!"
WTF, for the past hour I've been feeling like we missed the call... lost out on a chance because I've made a few changes to our phone system and added a simple menu script. You know, the kind that pisses you off when you phone some company and it says... "To speak to sales press one, To order a gluten free pizza press two... ETC..." This was in response to Rogers automated piss off machine constantly phoning me because they have put my account in collections... So now our phones don't ring until an actual human picks a number related to who in the house they want to speak too!
No Ted Rogers, I don't owe your fucking Estate any money, you plain ripped my ass off and your not getting a dime from me!
'Nuff said,
I feel much better after that rant, hahahaha Have a great night!
