========================================

Ever get an operator who gave
|
|||
|
|
you a hard time, and you didn't know
|
|||
|
|
what to do? Well if the operator hears
|
|||
|
|
you use a little Bell jargon, she might
|
|||
|
|
wise up. Here is a little diagram
|
|||
|
|
(excuse the artwork) of the structure of
|
|||
|
|
operators
|
|||
|
|
/--------\ /------\ /-----
|
|||
|
|
!Operator!-- > ! S.A. ! --->! BOS !
|
|||
|
|
\--------/ \------/ \-----/
|
|||
|
|
!
|
|||
|
|
!
|
|||
|
|
V
|
|||
|
|
/-------------\
|
|||
|
|
! Group Chief !
|
|||
|
|
\-------------/
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now most of the operators are
|
|||
|
|
not bugged, so they can curse at you, if
|
|||
|
|
they do ask INSTANTALY for the "S.A." or
|
|||
|
|
the Service Assistant. The operator does
|
|||
|
|
not report to her (95% of them are hers)
|
|||
|
|
but they will solve most of your
|
|||
|
|
problems. She MUST give you her name as
|
|||
|
|
she connects & all of these calls are
|
|||
|
|
bugged. If the SA gives you a rough time
|
|||
|
|
get her BOS (Business Office Superviser)
|
|||
|
|
on the line. S/He will almost always
|
|||
|
|
back her girls up, but sometimes the SA
|
|||
|
|
will get tarred and feathered. The
|
|||
|
|
operator reports to the Group Chief, and
|
|||
|
|
S/He will solve 100% of your problems,
|
|||
|
|
but thte chances of getting S/He on the
|
|||
|
|
line are nill.
|
|||
|
|
If a lineman (the guy who
|
|||
|
|
works out on the poles) or an
|
|||
|
|
installation man gives you the works ask
|
|||
|
|
to speak to the Installation Foreman,
|
|||
|
|
that works wonders.

Here is some other bell
|
|||
|
|
jargon, that might come in handy if you
|
|||
|
|
are having trouble with the line. Or
|
|||
|
|
they can be used to lie your way out of
|
|||
|
|
situations....
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
An Erling is a line busy for
|
|||
|
|
1 hour, used mostly in traffic studies A
|
|||
|
|
Permanent Signal is that terrible
|
|||
|
|
howling you get if you disconnect, but
|
|||
|
|
don't hang up.
|
|||
|
|
Everyone knows what a busy
|
|||
|
|
signal is, but some idiots think that is
|
|||
|
|
the *Actual* ringing of the phone, when
|
|||
|
|
it just is a tone "beeps" when the phone
|
|||
|
|
is ringing, wouldn't bet on this though,
|
|||
|
|
it can (and does) get out of sync.
|
|||
|
|
When you get a busy signal
|
|||
|
|
that is 2 times as fast as the normal
|
|||
|
|
one, the person you are tring to reach
|
|||
|
|
isn't really on the phone, (he might
|
|||
|
|
be), it is accutally the signal that a
|
|||
|
|
trunk line somewhere is busy and they
|
|||
|
|
haven't or can't reroute your call.
|
|||
|
|
Sometimes you will get a Recording, or
|
|||
|
|
if you get nothing at all (Left High &
|
|||
|
|
Dry in fone terms) all the recordings
|
|||
|
|
are being used and the system is really
|
|||
|
|
overused, will probably go down in
|
|||
|
|
alittle while. This happend when Kennedy
|
|||
|
|
was shot, the system just couldn't
|
|||
|
|
handle the calls. By the way this is
|
|||
|
|
called the "reorder signal" and the
|
|||
|
|
trunk line is "blocked".
|
|||
|
|
One more thing, if an
|
|||
|
|
overseas call isn't completed and
|
|||
|
|
doesn't generate any money for AT&T, is
|
|||
|
|
is called an "Air & Water Call".
