I have just realised why nobody has been calling or SMS-ing me in the last week or so. It’s not because nobody loves me. It’s because I haven’t paid my phone bill. The last three bills, to be precise. Serves me right for relying on Telstra’s email notification… I don’t remember getting any emails! And the paper bills go home and get ignored anyway, cos I pay my bills online when I get the emails… (or not, as the case may be)

So I called Telstra. Surprisingly, there was almost no hold time, considering that I was calling to ask Telstra to do something for me, rather than the other way around. Turns out that although I paid up in full yesterday, Telstra still haven’t gotten any money cos BPay sits on the cash for a while before handing it on. Dodgy schmucks. In any case, they’ve put in a “reconnection request” for my phone, which can take anywhere between 10 minutes and 24 hours to process. Woohoo.

I’ll try ringing myself in 10 minutes time. If it works, then I’ll have to accept that the reason people still aren’t calling me is that I don’t have any friends…
