I have to take a moment to share this with the world.

We just got a call from an AT&T sales rep. The call began with the rep saying, “Did you just hang up on me?” A great way to start off a sales call. So, she’s angry for no reason because nobody hung up on her, and she didn’t take her medication.

She asked, “Is this the Atlanta Coil-ition of Theaters?” Great.. a sales rep who’s angry and illiterate!
She then informed us that our “discount plan” was about to expire and if we did nothing, our “service is going to go up.” Well, when you receive threatening phone calls from angry, illiterate sales reps, service can’t get much worse.

She called at a perfect time, too. It just so happens we’re looking at getting our phone service through alternative means. Good-bye, AT&T DSL. Hello, T-1. We can’t wait.

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Wait until after GAELA is over, which will be Monday.

I have several items in draft right now. But really, it likely won’t be ’till at least next week before I can even think about posting again.

Update: For your entertainment, two juxtaposed Twitter messages I received this morning (names removed):

Twitter 1: “How many monks will die today? The world is watching, Burma, as you go about slaughtering them.”

Twitter 2: “The Office season premier is tonight!”

At work, we just launched the new Georgia Performs, which has information about the upcoming GO Arts Festival, which begins with a “Free Night of Theater.” Tell your friends about it! Spread the word! Mark this Sunday, Oct. 1, on your calendar to pick up your free tickets at either of the AtlanTIX booths.

After the festival, Georgia Performs will be the site to go to for discount tickets online.
