Even phone installation is an adventure

So........the phone guy came....right when he said he would......

The end.

He came....... he asked Bob if he spoke Italian, told him he (the phone guy) didn't speak English. Looked (no touching) the phone lines and left......

...........without another word (except for Bob to open the gate to let him out).

So, Bob is sitting there not know what to do. Stay there and wait? Who knows?

First thing he did was try the phone. Of course it didn't work.....the guy didn't actually DO anything.

Then he called me at the base to go to housing --utililties department--- to see if they could tell us what just happened.

After the man in utilities stopped laughing he called the phone company......laughed as he told them what happened.

The final story was the guy decided they need to either put or pull (can't really understand the accents completely) some wire. He didn't say anything to Bob because he knew Bob didn't speak Italian. So he just left.

From what we're told, they'll email us when they're ready to put the phone in. No timetable. What a bummer.

One final thing, we need a phone line to have internet...........Just a thought.
