Telus can go suck a bag of dicks.
I'm heading back to Ontario early. Which is good and bad. I would've liked to have stuck it out in Van until the beginning of May, as was my original intent, but it's not meant to be this time. I'm outta cash and my temp job seems to have dried up.
The biggest kick in the ass?
I was wondering why the only two interviews I got were via email, and no phone calls. Well, that's because Telus is a stupid cock-sucker. When I moved to Van, they set me up with an Abbottsford ph #. In case you're not familiar with the area, that is long-distance. But that's not all. If someone tried to call me locally from Van, they didn't get a message saying "The number you are trying to dial is long distance. Please hang up, then dial 1 before the area code... yadda... yadda... yadda..." Oh, no. That would be almost smart. Instead, the message just said "The number you are trying to reach is not in service." Isn't that fucking brilliant?
Now, you might be wondering why I didn't figure this out after a day or two. Well, for one thing, I do a lot more texting to friends than calling, so the issue didn't really present itself until last week, I tried ordering a pizza online and was waiting for fucking ever. When I called them, they said my # wasn't working. That got the wheels turning. Then, my land lady tried calling me and said when she calls from a land line it won't go through, but there's no prob from her cell ph. Well, holy fucking shit. That's an entire month wasted. An entire month of potential employers calling a number that Telus says isn't there, and an entire month of me missing out on opportunities for employment.
So, now I'm broke and can't make this month's rent, so I'm just gonna cut my losses and head back to Ontario. I've got friends and family I can stay with while I get a job and am waiting for some cash to come in.
Long story short:
Fuck you, Telus. Fuck you in your fucking face.
