T-Mobile Total System Breakdown!

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 4:32 PM

T-Mobile is having a global network outage in honor of Joe Mallahan's impending doom*. If you have T-Mobile, you should be able to dial out, but if anyone tries to call you, they will get the fast busy tone that is the soundtrack of driving efficiencies. T-Mobile's Department of Customer Delight is unable to give an estimated fix time at this juncture.

*Yes, I know, knock frantically on wood! But I'm calling it for McGinn. See you at the War Room!

Don't ask for an ETA on a fix. That shit drove me crazy when I used to work in customer service. When they know what caused the problem, they'll fucking fix the problem. And probably in such quick order that it will be working again before the CS dept. knows they've isolated the issue.

While "doom" implies a negative outcome, it can simply mean "fate."

That explains why my wife and I haven't been able to talk for the last few hours. Damn.

Things seem to be working again. I've been able to call and text on my T-Mobile phone for about the past 30 mins.

so it turns out the blackout in Fremont was due to a rat arcing the circuits. I hear it was wearing a Mallahan t-shirt.

You people should be delighted if Mallahan wins. FOUR MORE YEARS of bashing material!
