6. Talk about being stressed

First a flat tire, then I drive 90 miles to drs in Albuquerque so I figure I might go to Apple and get a new phone as my phone battery is just about dead The girl transfers all my info but is very distracted- half way home I realize I can’t call out on my new phone as she didn’t transfer my server -get home and figure I will do it on internet but internet is down. So now I’m home with no cell service and no internet. Next day drive 120 miles round trip to AT&T store and on the way home suddenly my cars engine, gas, brake lights go on and my cars abruptly stops at a desert rural road. Takes AAA almost 2 hrs to come and then suddenly all the lights go off and it runs again. So Friday it was towed to local car repair and guess he hasn’t gotten to work on it today. Now I’m going to call internet people again as my service is on and off.

Here is a maddening AI story in the middle of this. AT&T said if I answered 5 personal questions online they could connect me - one of the questions was which of these 5 counties have you lived in. So they gave me five counties I never lived in - I said none so I failed the test as AI or whoever prepared this test got my counties wrong. the other questions were about my daughters birthday etc. and a phone number I had 12 yrs ago. Can’t make this sh*t up.

In the meantime, my washing machine is acting up and I’m walking badly waiting for hip surgery.
