It's been great spending a few days in Texas. We've had a chance to spend quite a bit of it with Ben and Allie (his sweet lab) as well as catching up with numerous friends. We had a nice lunch with our good friends Rob and Pam yesterday. Then they joined us in trying to escape the Toxic Escape at North Texas Jellystone Park (where Ben works). We failed rather miserably!
It hasn't been all fun and games. There has been quite a bit of work mixed in as well. Since the invention of the cell phone we've been with AT&T. We didn't have any real complaints other than it seemed ridiculously expensive. However, we did figure out that there was another company (T-Mobile) which was a little less expensive and offered a better international plan. We divorced AT&T and moved to T-Mobile. If you've never done a service provider switch and you decide to make one, get ready. It isn't quite as easy as flipping a switch. We've spent enough time in the T-Mobile store over the last two days that I think we could be pretty competent members of their sales team. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that the T-Mobile folks didn't know what they were doing,. They were very nice and gave the impression that they knew what they were doing. It's just a somewhat complicated process to switch and move everything over. I think we're done and everything is up and running properly. Hopefully we don't darken the doors of the T-Mobile store today or anytime in the near future.
As we were finishing up I told my new best friend Adrian (Sales Manager at the store) that unless they really screwed up that I planned on dying (hopefully no time soon) as a T-Mobile customer. He smiled and assured us that we'd be pleased with their service................hopefully he was right!
