As you may know, WLNP -- Wireless Landline Number Portability which is also known simply as number portability has gone into effect today. Since I work in the cell phone biz, you can just imagine what kind of day I may have had. Well, it was 45,687,935,867,654 times worse! It was nearly 6 PM when the madness quieted down. It felt like I was without warning, hit by a tornado.

Everyone hates their wireless carrier and wanted to go with someone new. Half of Koreatown's been callin' and askin' if the rumors were true, that we could take a phone number from one carrier and take it to another, if it is November 24, if it's gonna happen, how it's gonna happen, and everything else possible under the sun. So there was hints of craziness waiting to explode... I dreaded showing up for work this morning.

I hereby declare this day November 24 -- Number Portability Satanic Madness Day. As a veteran of such a hectic situation, I believe it should be declared a national holiday -- or better yet, a holiday just for those in the cell phone industry. Let the customers cry over their own boohoo's for once!
