Default MCI and all that crap

Ok, what the hell?? Just when MCI is about to come out of bankruptcy, this routing calls to Canada **** comes up.

Here's the skinny, I'm a regional sales director for a Telecommunications company. MCI is my primary carrier, so the initial bankruptcy **** from last year hurt enough. Well, now they supposedly are routing non Canada calls to Canada to save money. That hurts, but NOW it comes out that a company in Minnesota called Onvoy is doing it for them with the help of Manitoba tel in Canada. Get this, Onvoy is my biggest client. So now not only is my carrier in deep **** again, my largest account is going down with them. What the hell?

Don't know if anyone understands this, or really cares, but I needed to vent. Anyone hiring??????

Wait, wait wait.....you have a job besides being a moderator of Bikerforums?

Isn't the moderator pay enough to keep you afloat?

Yeah, Um, I think someone owes me about 15 months back pay if I'm getting paid for this!!! No, no, really, just the satisfaction of seeing all the Bikerforums members happy is pay enough for me.

Hey Bro...about the job situation. Hope it works out, I know these times aren't the best to be out looking for a job....the economy, and job market sucks right now. But come on down here, we'll find you something in H-Town, I could always use another outlaw to ride with , plus...we get to ride all year long , and we have an endless supply of Shiner

Thanks WooHoo!, I appreciate the thought. Knew I could count on you man!!!

FBR, had my chance to move down there once, but just can't bring myself to do it. Many many nice things about that town though (*cough* women). Plus, I find I can get Shiner in MO, so it's not too far a drive. I don't know that this will shut us down, but it's gonna hurt that's for sure! I'm headed to Branson on Sunday to drum up some more business at a show, so hopefully I can get a few more accounts. Then to Pueblo, CO on the 16th to try for some more. Lot's of travel this month for sure, so you kids take care, and play nice.

Mongo, guess I won't get paid for this month since I am gone so much. Send FBR my .01 for the month!

Angry .01 ????

What's up with that **** Mongo.....he got a raise and I didn't ???


PB....if you were here you wouldn't have to drive to MO to get the Shiner. I recently bought another refrigerator for the garage.....nothing but booze in it. I was taking inventory last night....2 1/2 cases of Shiner Boch, 12 pack of Rolling Rock, case of Corona Extra....six pack of wine coolers, and 1 six pack of Shiner "Summer Stock"....I hope that will last me through the weekend ......anyway hope you have a good weekend Bro....and I still love ya man...even if Mongo pays you more !!!

Mongo pays by the post, so I started post whoring! Working like a champ for me. I'll be making a nickle a month in no time with pointless posts like this one!!!


I got the garage fridge too.
one case Shiner (the best!), one case Bud Light (courtesy mexican neighbor), one case Michelob Ultra, (cause I'm watching my figure ) , misc miller lite, bud, Liney's, wine coolers, etc... Garage fridges rock my man!!! I got a garage freezer too, with 1/2 cow in it right now. Me and Mongo are gonna steak and beer it up when he get's here! I gotta get some garage pics up.
