Leave Telstra Yey

Hey Peeps,

I've submitted and I'm back, sort of. A student of mine needs help with her PhD editing and her submission date is the 31st so I'll be very quiet until then :-(

However, I did write this small vent to a friend of mine who is a Telstra employee and he giggled himself silly so I thought I'd post it here.

Language warning folks!

The other day I spent an hour on the phone to the Telstra help desk trying to figure out why it was that I couldn't pay my bill online. I've been using online billing since it started and I've never had problems before. This note was my vent after dealing with no less than three phone pool idiots.

"The way I see it, if both firefox and safari give errors that say their web site is trying to redirect me to a page that doesn't exist, or that their website is trying to peer up its own bottom by redirecting me to a page I am already on, then it is nothing to do with my end.

Fucking fucktards.

Nothing personal. But seriously, it took me an hour to be put on to someone who new more about the internet than I did.

One woman was arguing with me about whether or not you could get onto the telstra website using .com.au. she insisted that my problem stemmed from putting in the .au suffix, that she'd been there for twenty years and it had always been .com (what the???) and had never heard of buying up multiple domain names and redirecting.

Again, I say fucktards. Imbecilic cocksucking fucktards.



So I'm still here, still annoyed, just up to my neck in jobs that don't allow for leisurely blogging :-( Back soon.
