As Mat Cauthon would say...

'Blood and Bloody Ashes'

Soooo... that $400 dollar phone bill, which on Wednesday was due to turn into a $40-$50 dollar bill... well it never did quite make it. So my bank account has just been hit for $390.13 from the bitchwhips at AT&T (see here for the reforming of the evil empire). Seems my adjustment claim is being processed and needs a manager approval. Result will be I will get the credit on my AT&T account, not the money back in my bank account. Sooo... I get to explain to HP a $400 bill with the note that I should not be paying any more phone bills for several months!!!
