One thing and another

[bktheirregular]

So, my grandmother's apparently somewhat on the mend. I think I might have mentioned that.

Actual news, though: after waiting for about two months, the following events occurred:

- OTE technician rang my doorbell.
- OTE technician found my apartment's phone jack, hiding behind my refrigerator.
- OTE technician fiddled with the phone jack for not more than three minutes.
- OTE technicial examined my passport for thirty seconds and had me sign a piece of paperwork.
- OTE technician told me that the phone would be working shortly.
- OTE technicial left, having spent not more than ten minutes in the apartment.
- Ten minutes after OTE technician left, I plugged in the el-cheapo telephone I brought with me from New York, got a dial tone (a Greek dial tone is not like an American one, but rather a "beep-beeeeeeep" pattern), dialed my mobile phone, and was amazed to hear my mobile phone ring.

Summary: yay!

Hooray for a working telephone! Boo! for OTE mucking you about so much. And a hearty Excellent! for your grandmother's recovering state.

Woo-hoo on all accounts. Though it's kind of annoying that after all you went through that's all the time it took to get the phone service. But yay!
