[comp.dcom.telecom] Last Laugh! Oh, Fie Mars! I Salve Heaven Stooncards!

dattier@ddsw1.mcs.com (David Tamkin) (09/29/90)

In volume 10, issue 686, il Moderatore commented on my story:

| [Moderator's Gasp: Whew! Readers, did you get all that straight?  I'll
| wait while you go back and read it again.  Wouldn't you love to be a
| CSR for Sprint handling the billing cycle David is in and get into these
| commotions with him month after month about something or another?  PAT]

Getting into commotions with US Sprint CSR'z is more the stuff of the
story of the death of account #1 (US Sprint account 108640611, sprung
from hell January 10, 1987, exorcised July 8, 1987).  I was giving
several of them earfuls after every month's bill.

And in all this time since then as a Telecom*USA customer, I've had
only two problems: (1) concern since the MCI merger that they'll lose
their autonomy and I'll just have MCI service instead {starting with a
Grand Slam Breakfast that didn't come from Denny's} and (2) curiosity
why all their reps have the kinds of first names yuppies give their
children.  (I think they use noms de guerre to avoid duplication of
first names with other reps and get to choose their own.)


Sincerely, Trent -- er no, Jared, no, Lane?  Sean!  Naah, just keep calling me

[Moderator's Note: As a matter of fact, a letter went out from MCI to
all Telecom*USA customers about two weeks ago announcing the merger
was complete, but that Telecom*USA would continue to provide the same
service as before. I will print the entire text of the letter in a
Digest later on today. And thanks for your clever retort!   PAT]
