I’m very happy I had class today because our Internet at home is not working. I’m not happy with our provider as when you call the number in the new phone book you get a humidifier place, not the phone company. I just don’t understand it. So anyway I can’t get a hold of them as the bill is in my mom’s name and she has them.

I came to class early to check email and get a few things done. It wouldn’t be so bad but I had a report due today that I was going to finish, so that’s what I’m right now taking a break from. I got most of it done and it’s not due until 7 tonight, but it still stinks. Hopefully the Internet is working when I get home tonight, I can’t go 5 days without it!

I hate it when I pick up the phone and I can’t tell who is calling me, what makes it worse is when they don’t leave a message and get mad when you don’t call them back. Now these are people I know who get mad I just don’t get it. Anyway I started useing Reverse Phone Lookupsto find out who it might be calling me. Sometimes it’s a cell phone so I don’t get much information, but still that’s better then nothing right.

The one good thing I have noticed is that we are getting less anoying phone calls since I signed up for the National No Call Registry. This is a great free service that allows you to remove your phone number from the telemarketers system. Too bad it doesn’t work for collection calls!

I got an online phone card a few years ago and I hadn’t had to use it yet. I got it for a friend of mine when our cell phones were turned off because I lost my job and couldn’t pay the bill anymore. He is diabetic and didn’t have another phone and couldn’t get one because of a roommate who ran up the home phone bill. I did want him to go without a phone so I get him the cell. Then I felt bad because I got his cell turned off because I couldn’t pay my part of the bill anymore. He never used it as another friend got him a cell phone under their plan. Apparently he has some good friends!

Anyway yesterday I finally had a chance to use it. I was surprised that I still could other phone cards I have had expired quickly and you had to use them within at least a year. The one I got online doesn’t expire until 2010. Not bad I think, the best part is I paid about $20 for 1000 minutes. It was a deal I couldn’t pass up. I just love how things work out like that. I’m just happy I have it in case of an emergency since I don’t have a cell phone right now and can’t really offered the extra payment a month for even a pre-paid. I’m hoping to be able to soon, but until then using a calling card will work when I’m on the road. As long as my car doesn’t break down were okay.

The other thing I like about this card is it has a cheep rate for overseas calling. I think I’ll let my mom use it to call our exchange student and get his address so she can finally send his Christmas gift to him. She sent it before Christmas and it got sent back because of the wrong address.
