an empty place v3.5

My phone got disconnected. I forgot to pay the bill this month and it got disconnected. Apparently I neglected to pay it for a couple of months and Verizon just hates when you do that. So, they called their little man and he pulled the plug or flipped the switch or whatever he does in his little room full of plugs and switches and my phone service goes bu-bye. So yesterday, the day it happened, I payed the bill online. Its real easy, I even paid for the next month's bill. Today I get home and discover the phone is still out. I check my bank account and there's nothing going on there and I check my Verizon account and see that my account has a negative balance (in this case, that's good). Knowing that I can call anyone at this point on the house phone and I'll get Verizon I do so and I get redirected to a special message they made just for me:

"This is a special message from Verizon, the service to this telephone has been temporarily disconnected, you can still reach emergency services by dialling 911, if you are calling from a touch tone phone, please press 0 to be connected with the next available service representative or dial 1800... from another location at your convenience."

I pressed '0'

"Thank you for calling Verizon, if you are calling about your residential service please press 1..."

At this point I was thinking to myself, sweet, I'll get this handled in no time

"The office you are calling is closed, our business hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm, thank you, goodbye." Click

WTF? Guess I don't have to deal with the phone this weekend.
