Sometimes The Best Ideas Just Get Stalled - ARGH

My life is coming apart at the seams, and I can't seem to scamper behind it with needle and thread quickly enough to fix the gaps. The digital phone system for the shop has been installed, but they can't port it - it's not getting blocked on their end, it's getting blocked by the FCC or some other entity which is saying that there's only a single account, not the two accounts that we actually have. I'll be spending some time on the phone with Customer Service once again, and all of our invoices that prove the electronic footprints that we have made with our phone history. This NEEDS to be resolved - yesterday ... last MONTH. 



If I had any hair to pull out, I'd probably look like 
she does. There are advantages to being bald, I 
guess - LOL. Advantages other than getting a 
superior tattoo all over my head. 



On the other side, I'm starting to receive holiday cards from my dear friends near and far ... and mine are yet to be sent. I'm hoping to spend some time with them today, and Friday is my absolute deadline, so I need to get my act together. OY! They're at the shop because if I have any time at all, it'll be there. The envelopes need addressing and the cards need ... well, the cards NEED - LOL. What a year! I've Never been this far behind before and I offer my apologies to all. 




If running behind schedule is exercise, I'm getting more 
than just my swimming or my treadmill work in 
every day lately. *sigh* LOL



I have an overdue cell phone bill, which I'll have to double-check because I'm not so sure it's actually overdue ... just due this week. This whole phone thing is starting to drive me totally meshugah and my normally organized self is anything BUT. I'll pull things out of a hat somehow, but my life would be 1000% easier if the damned phones were operational the way they're supposed to be. 



Nextiva has super nice people, and I know they're 
trying their best and hitting very unexpected 
roadblocks. But we need to find a solution that 
will allow my VOIP phones to become active and 
receive calls. We can call out, but we can't get 
calls in. So ... it doesn't work! 



So, that's my current life. When I get to the shop today, I'll be calling the phone company, our history of phone service invoices in my hand, and going through things with them to figure out where the hold-up on porting our phone numbers from Clear Rate (our current carrier - VERY nice people) to Nextiva (also nice people, but so far I'm paying them for nothing). It's a good thing I'm working out some of this frustration in the pool today. I think I need a place where I can just throw plates and hear them break. *sigh* Can you hear me doing that virtually? LOL Have a great Tuesday, things are bound to get better, right? LOL I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
