For the past few weeks we've had an issue with our toll-free number. It's been an exhaustive adventure trying to make things right. We've talked with ... ready? ... at least 10 people in 10 different departments of the phone company trying to get it straightened out. We've heard all kinds of nos and plenty of ideas on what might be done to fix the situation. Nothing ever panned out.

At 5:10 Angela called to tell us that it was fixed. We were stunned. Know what she said when we thanked her? A modest, "You're welcome. Thank you for being our customer."
We may never meet Angela in person, but we certainly wish we could. We do hope that AT&T understands what a value she is to their company and rewards her accordingly.
