Stuck at work waiting for DH

Ugh.  He is downtown (near me) at a seminar/happy hour and said we could meet here but I can't reach him. I've been sitting at work for an hour and can't reach him by phone or email.  I may just walk to the bus and go home.

The iPhone is cool and all, but AT&T's phone service blows chunks and I bet $20 he isn't getting my calls.

I'm boooooooorrrrrrred and want to lllleeeeeeeave!!!!

    I have the same problem with our iphones.  We love them, but our house is located in a dead zone, so phone coverage is very spotty.  Just ridiculous.  When I pay that much for phone service, I expect to be able to receive and make calls in my own home.

    Sorry you're stuck at work.  Not fun at all.  You could always have a lot of fun and get someone to drive you to where he is and march in there as the (pretend) offended pregnant wife and ask why he's enjoying happy hour and not answering your calls.  LOL

    Oh Meepit I wish!  I could actually take the trolly to him, but I'm not exactly sure where he is.

    Yea, the iPhone thing blows - I would love one but there is no way I'm tying myself to such a craptacular network.  I'm thinking of getting a Droid when they come out in November :)  Verizon has never failed me...

    I swear to god if, when the time comes, I need to get ahold of DH to say "it's time" and his damn phone doesn't work, AT&T is going to get. it. bad.

    Oh no!  My iphone has the worst service, too -- tons of dropped calls, and lately it's been doing thing where when I call people, it rings for them and they answer it, but all I hear is silence.  Considering how much the service costs, it is ridiculous how spotty it is.

    Have you tried texting him?  For some reason my texts will sometimes get through when phone calls won't...

    We always had trouble with AT&T. Anytime I'd go visit my parents, my phone wouldn't work, and it's not like they live in the complete boonies. We'd always have dropped calls. I remember when DH and I were engaged, and we got into a huge blow out fight because of our phones not working properly..haha. We just switched to Verizon about a month ago, and haven't had any issues.

    See, that's the thing.  I LOVED Verizon.  The only reason I ever switched is that my folks switched because Verizon doesn't have towers up where they are, and AT&T does.  Also, admittedly, I wanted the iPhone.  But at the time, DH was on Sprint, which sucked, with HIS parents.  So I've finally gotten us both onto one bill, thank goodness, and now the service doesn't work.  I'm about ready to buy a telegraph.

    Haha..a telegraph. Now that would be interesting. Or we could resort to what they do in those Progresso soup commercials, and use soup cans.

    I second the texting suggestion.  I sometimes get through better by texting than calling with my iphone.  GL!

    OK, so I found him right after I posted - of course!  I'm home now and fed so less cranky :)  Still not wild about AT&T, but in this case it was not a technical difficulty - just a DH difficulty Wink
