Telus love line

Since last week I've been obsessed with getting the Hockey Night in Canada theme for my cellphone. Now I've never been a fan of cellphones, but having heard it on one of my work collegue's phone, it was love at first ring.

And so, I spent all last night sending the bloody ring to my phone and I wasn't getting it. After a 2 hour wait, the little message still hadn't arrived so I called the Telus support line to see what the deal was...

Telus Guy: Hello, you've reached Telus tech support, how may I help you?

Miss Pow: Hi, I was wondering what sort of wait I should expect when downloading ringtones? I've followed the instructions on the website, and the little message won't get sent to my phone. Like I've already waited 2 hours.

Telus Guy: Um... it should only take a few seconds

Miss Pow: A few what? I've waited 2 hours! Look, I really need my Hockey Night in Canada ringtone.

Telus Guy: You like ...hockey?

Miss Pow: Hello! Of course! I've been praying for the strike to end for the past year. Now I must prepare for the return of the NHL.

Telus Guy: Oh I totally agree. Okay so I'll help you set it up. This is what you do...

[next few minutes involve me struggling to get the website up on my phone. I am technologically incompetent]

Miss Pow: Oh, oh okay, I've got it now... Yeah so after I do this the ringtone is mine forever? I've never done this before. Now I've got to get the Maple Leafs cover for my phone.

Telus Guy: Yeah, I've got the Hockey Night in Canada ringtone, and even Oh Canada

[I can hear his ringtones playing in the background]

Miss Pow: Oh that's cool. Maybe I'll get the Oh Canada one later. Yesh! The ringtone is set, yay hockey!

Telus Guy: Hey look... you're a Scorpio just like me! Only I was born in a different year... [ in a "Yes! We have stuff in common" tone]

Miss Pow: [frozen look on my face at the realization that he's going through my whole profile] Yeah.... that's nice. Uh... yeah.

[Note to self: do not want to connect with Telus man]

Telus Guy: So...

Miss Pow: Well thanks for your help.

Telus Guy: Err... yeah. Um enjoy the hockey season.

Miss Pow: I will, same to you.
