I dont know who put this website together…I hope it was a group collaboration for the creator’s sake. It is a compilation of 800 numbers for a variety of businesses with ways to get immediately to a "real person" as opposed to the voice prompts. Enjoy. http://www.gethuman.com/
For the past few weeks I have noticed that the page loading for CBS Sportsline’s Fantasy Football pages has been very slow and at times, it hasnt loaded at all. While it annoyed me at certain times, I didnt really give that much thought to it. However, when I logged into my account today, I got…
