Alice in Wonderland World is Alive and Well

Within the last hour this happily married couple fell into a rabbit hole just as Alice did in her Wonderland. The story that follows is actually true.

In order to keep our cell phones working we went to a local store that claims to represent The Company. We outlined our understanding of what is supposed to happen according recent interviews with several other representatives of The Company.

The young man with whom we were dealing contradicted practically everything that the other representative said as recently as two days ago in the same store. The young man today spoke with certainty that his understanding of The Company rules is absolutely the truth.

At this point we looked at each other and said the magic words: START OVER

Now the simple act of renewing our cell phone service has turned into this federal case of interviewing more people from The Company in order to figure out what we really have as options. It all seemed so simple and hour ago. Then we fell into this most recent rabbit hole.

We thought we were anxious about a medical appointment later today. Now we have moved beyond anxiety to some condition of mind for which no word comes to mind yet.
Medical decisions have more impact on one's life than do cell phone decisions. Just going to a doctor's office suddenly becomes way more than an appointment.

There may be a later report on the labyrinth into which we have either descended or ascended. Can a person fall up rather than down?
