So I realized last night that we have been without home phone service for most of the week. The interesting thing is that I might never have realized this, except the hubby and I were both out at after work meetings last night and I got home before he did. I was trying to do the good wife thing and call his cell phone to tell him I was home and safe, but when I picked up the phone I didn’t get a dial tone, just a echo-y, static-y noise.
So, I checked the connection, but the phone was still kaput. When the hubby finally got home he also checked the connection as well as the other phone in the living room. (Which I had forgotten about, but the cats do frequently knock it off the hook in their attempts to order pizza.) Still nothing. I had the guilty feeling that perhaps I had missed the bill (It has been known to happen), so I went online and paid the bill anyway (it was not late, as the bank’s autopay had taken care of it about a week ago, but better safe than sorry, I think). And while I was at the phone company website, I filed a problem ticket with the phone company.
They’re supposed to call back on the cell phone today before lunch. I hope it’s something simple that can be fixed without someone having to be home waiting for a repairman. I honestly have no idea what it could be.
The upshot of this is, if you need us for something, call the cell phone or e-mail. I’ll post here when the phone’s back in working order.
As Geoffrey Rush says in Shakespeare in Love “It’s a mystery.”
