ATL’s president to be at Channel Partners
Posted by: | CommentsATL’s president, Aelea Christofferson, will be in Las Vegas March 1 to attend the Channel Partner show. This time she is not speaking, and the company is not exhibiting. Aelea’s intent is to try to meet with as many of her customers and prospective customers as possible, and to gain more education about the IP Communications world through the exhibitors.
“ATL’s fastest growing customer base is currently VoIP Providers who are entering the toll free market and who need help with local number porting. Since I am from the landline world, I continue to look for opportunities to gain more understanding of these new customers.”
If you would like to meet with Aelea while she is there comment here or call our office. She will be setting appointments next week.
There’s no Such Thing as a Stupid (Telephony) Question
Posted by: | CommentsHow many times have you hesitated to ask a simple question out of fear of sounding like the Village Idiot?
Well, friends and neighbors, I’m here to tell you there are stupid questions, but there are no stupid questions about telephony. I know, I’ve asked them all.
Fortunately, I enjoy being able to ask one of the leading experts in the biz; she happens to be my boss, and she likes answering questions, even from me!
Now, for a limited time, I’m going to share her with you. You may ask my boss & friend, Aelea Christofferson, anything you want to know about telephony…anything! Go ahead, try to stump her!
Just don’t ask her if she’s busy. That’s a stupid question.
What’s so Dang Funny about RespOrg?
Posted by: | CommentsI was recently told that I could find the humor in anything. This got me thinking; what’s the least humorous subject EVER? I think I may have found it: “RespOrg”.
First of all, out of the 6,692,030,277 people in the world, there are only six who even know what a RespOrg is, and two of them are mentally ill. One of the people that know what a RespOrg is is my boss, Aelea Christofferson. If you do the math, that gives her a 33% chance of being mentally ill. But that’s a topic for another discussion.
Let’s examine the word itself (say it out loud) RespOrg. Not very pretty sounding eh? I’m pretty certain the first fight I ever got in was because some nit-wit called me a RespOrg. Neither of us had a clue what it meant (still don’t) but we were sure it wasn’t nice. The Civil War was started because someone from the South called someone from the North a RespOrg.
I need to make this post informative (Aelea has a thing about that) so I looked RespOrg up for you. It’s actually the marriage of two words; Responsible Organization. Get it? Me either. Here, you’re taking part of an adjective, and part of a noun, and creating a proper noun. That violates several state and federal laws, and whoever did this needs to do hard time in the slammer.
Responsible Organization. Shouldn’t we give the RespOrg label to Congress? I guess not, but that made me think of a more appropriate word for them: IrrespOrg.
So what exactly is a RespOrg so proudly responsible for? Global warming? Crunchy peanut butter? You can’t tell by the name that’s for sure!
I’d really like to explain it to you, but there’s that whole mental illness thing.
