I am LIVID. I am about to get my FOURTH tivo/DVD recorder in less than a year and Tivo is doing FUCK ALL. They tell me that they can't do anything because Humax, another company, manufactures the machine, all they provide is the service. I said "I didn't buy Humax. I bought a big orange box that said Tivo. Your name is on it. This machine represents your company and I don't understand why you don't care that your company is being maligned by this situation" He said "we care, I just can't do anything. I can offer you a credit on your service to use towards a new tivo" I lost it then and told him that he obviously didn't care, offering me a credit was USELESS, since I'd already been charged for the service, it was even, and I didn't appreciate him trying to act like I was gaining something. And what is $20 going to do for a $300 machine? I asked to escalate past him, he said there was no one. I said "you don't have a boss?" He said yes, but they didn't take calls. I asked for a name so I could write a letter, and he refused to give me anyone's name, just told me to write the address on the website.

Lies he told:

1. "I can't offer you a credit on a new machine because the Tivo is basically free with the rebates"

2. "Pioneer makes Tivos with DVD recorders"

LIVID. Oh, the letter that I will write.

Please do, Jesse. I can crib from you too.

My daytime outdoor goal today was to get my car washed. But when I'm inside, I don't care that it's all dusty.

Who needs daytime outdoor goals anyway? I have evening outdoor goals, and daytime inside ones. Plenty filling day.

Go get 'em, Vortex!

I love when Jesse gets all cryptic.

I figure better that than asking questions that no one cares about. I.e., "I think I'm missing one poker player. Here's who I have." And etc.

My daytime goal is to eventually move from the bedroom to the living room. Big goal, huh?

I just don't remember the sun going down before 5 pm by mid-November. It's so dark!

Dude, after the time change and it started getting dark in Chicago at 4:30pm? I was all OMGWTF APOCALYPSE.

But when I'm inside, I don't care that it's all dusty.

This is why my car only gets washed after a snowstorm. The salt starts getting on my clothes and coming inside.

Well, and it's bad for the car. The salt.

I guess I haven't washed my car once this year! Go Team Grime!

Jesse, I was just poking at you.

I know, Kat, I know.

Dude, after the time change and it started getting dark in Chicago at 4:30pm? I was all OMGWTF APOCALYPSE.

Michigan is the land of the midnight sun of the east, being all the way on the edge of the time zone like that.

People, we need to do something about this early darkness disaster. It's time we all admitted that we need DST ALL FREAKIN YEAR.

Unless you live in Arizona, where I seem to remember things were fine without.

My boss's dog (who spends most days at the office) has learned that whenever she hears the Windows shutdown music, it's time to go home. So she gets all excited as soon as she hears that music.
