I did love waking up to sunshine today. Sun in the morning is a great motivator. I actually don't want to stay in bed and waste a day of beauty. It was such a lazy day today, well for me anyway. Hank worked like crazy on the gardens. A month or so ago our cell plan finished so we had to decide what we would do next. We are trying to cut back on our expenses since Hank retired so keeping two phones seemed a little extravagant. We decided to go and talk to Virgin Mobile after my sister had switched and loved them. As we approached the booth, low and behold, there she was. We talked for a while to the customer service rep, asked every question I could think of, and thought I had covered all my bases. The bottom line....they could switch us to Virgin, keep our home phone number, give us an excellent plan and two new phones. I keep going over it in my head, all the questions I asked of the rep and my sister. How did I miss some very important information that I needed? So we got two phones, cancelled our home line and went on our merry way. The first problem is that we are a business and get calls all times of the day. I had my top ten that were free calls anywhere in Canada, but what about all the other calls. My 200 extra minutes and free after 5:00 pm and weekends wasn't a big help. I was getting calls and my free minutes were dwindling. That was the first of my problems. Then I started getting calls from overseas. Inquiries. I panicked and had to ask about international calls. Apparently free if incoming. Whew. Today was the topper. I had to process something and send a fax for the okay. Fax????? What fax? Cell phones don't have faxes. Our fax machine is gathering dust as we speak. It's buried in some dark recess of the storage room. So off I went to Staples. Charged me $1.66 for the fax. Not bad considering how much we are saving each month on the phones. I must say, Virgin has been excellent. No, I don't work for them. I have a feeling that working for them isn't as much fun as being their customer. I have never seen a company so good at customer service. I went back to the Virgin kiosk so often, asking questions about using the phone, the girl there invited me to come to Las Vegas with a group of them. My picture today is a momma duck and all her ducklings that have taken a liking to our new bird food. Cute as can be they make the rounds in the yard to all the feeders then trot off the property to who knows where. Take care out there and maybe tomorrow I will think of something to blog about.
