MS AT&T ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!



Eardrums were bursting at 7th and Montana this morning as an Anonymous Phony spent nearly an hour barking into her cell phone. "Blah, blah, blah," she'd say in a nasal monotone that made my fingers want to reach out and touch a set of earplugs. It got worse when she periodically increased her volume to emphasize certain points. "Doesn't everyone know I'm in charge?," she shouted, "I'm organizing major events in Beverly Hills. I can't be bothered with interruptions ...!" She went on and on, at times juggling two calls at once. "Hang on, Hon, I have another call coming in!," she screeched. She spent three minutes on one line complaining about the person on the other. "I'm so busy," she said, "So very, very busy!" Indeed, she was busy alright. She was single-handedly giving AT&T its most profitable quarter ever. That's why I'm calling her Ms. AT&T: Always Talking and Talking ...!
