What is the plural of "doofus"?
Sep. 20th, 2012 11:18 pmFor the past week, the house has been without internet service, and largely without phone service.
It started when we tried to have the phone service switched from Bell to Rogers, leaving behind the internet service. I don't want to switch the internet stuff yet because I have my personal webspace hosted by Sympatico (Rogers doesn't offer that at all), and the E-mail address that I've used for a long time for more important purposes is also on Sympatico. I need to get a domain that will be independent of the service provider, and transition to that. But Rogers has some phone service features that we want, which are significantly less expensive than we'd have to pay than with Bell. We were assured that the switch-over, retaining my old phone number, would be simple. No trouble.
( Rogers Rogers Rog-AAAarrghhh... )
There is sometimes the question: Which is worse, Bell or Rogers? And I think that the only good answer is "Whichever of the two you had to deal with most recently."
