still learning

 I was told by Frontier that they would turn off my landline and upgrade my internet service between 8 and 12 this morning.  Silly me, I assumed that meant someone would be coming to my apartment to work on the equipment.  I knew how to unplug my landline phones and delete all the stored information (just names and numbers, we're not talking high tech here) so I did that and waited and waited.  Not to worry, I had plenty to do but still I wondered.  Noon came and went and no one came to my door.  I usually text my west coast brother around noon each day so, today in my text, I mentioned that the Frontier person was running late.  He pointed out that no one was likely to show up and suggested that I check to see if my phone had been disconnected.  He also said I should check my internet connection because when he and his wife tried the same thing a couple of years ago, the company cancelled his internet instead of his landline.  So I dialed my old number and got the message that it was no longer a working number.  Then I checked my email on my laptop and saw that I had received some new messages so I guess all is well and I can stop writing about this silliness.
