Good lord, Daisy Jane. I just figured out who you are. Consider me slow.

The bar description give me away?

ETA: I have never ever been able to drink diet anything. I can almost smell the aftertaste- which is odd for a smoker.

but I just feel like I'm getting reemed on the cost between in and my cable TV.

Well yeah, I know the feeling.

And then accidently charging me an extra $2500 and then saying "Sorry, but we have no record of that" would just send me into a tizzy.

Well, I've now got several people at Comcast trying to help - it sounds like they'll be able to reverse it.... as long as they do it before I have to run to the Amtrak station.

And to be fair to them, they thought the easiest thing for me would be to cancel the charge at my bank. Except my bank can't do that until the charge goes through. Once I told Comcast that, they started putting in more effort into trying to figure something out.

Ginger ale, not diet! I'm going to get that right now myself.

Verizon has been jacking me with inconsistent billing recently, but I just paid when they asked--nowhere near as much error as tommyrot, so I don't have to pay anything this month, and very little next.

In annoying billing, Adelphia kept threatening to cut off my service--I hadn't realised that my account # had changed, and I was electronically paying the old account. What a hassle to change it.

Water & Power on the other hand sent me a note to the effect of "You're paying to your old account, and we'll transfer the money this one time, but please stop." Adelphia required long investigation and lots of sighing and kvetching.

Wow. A nice, helpful and common-sensical thing for them to do. Weird.

Verizon kept trying to charge my expired credit card for 2 months, and instead of sending me a polite "Your credit card has expired" notice, they waited until 2 months had gone by and sent me a "WE WILL TURN YOUR PHONE OFF IF YOU DO NOT PAY!" notice instead. Very rude.

I'll probably be switching to Time Warner's digital phone this month, if they can schedule the appointment. It'll save me $25/month, plus get me DTV.

Nondiet is too sweet, except when I have no choice. I also like it room temp because it doesn't taste as sweet that way. I'm particular.

They are hunting for the errant transaction. I wanna say, "Dudes. Do none of you know how to do an SQL query?"

There was no ginger ale! But I do have a brownie and ginger peach tea. I'll make do.

We've got that. It's handy. But SBC called me with the exact same deal in regards to price and service, so I may be switching back to SBC. Then my phone won't go off if the power or cable goes out.

You bought another car?

Good lord, Daisy Jane. I just figured out who you are. Consider me slow.

I got that one right away, but am I the only one who was taken aback by "Mr. Jane" or "Mr. J"? I was all "wait, I thought his name was...oh, right."
