vw, stole all the sleep. I got about 4 hours. I see a nap in my future.

Oh, sj! That sucks! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to steal all the sleep!

move out and draw fire

I was all set to sleep in today, but the DH got up at 5:45, the child got up at 7:00, and the painters got here at 7:30. Gronk.

Normally I don't believe anything I read in the Washington Times. I mean, normally I don't READ anything in the Times. But they are bagging on DHS...but dude, shock collars for all passengers? It's like The Onion. [link]

Oh, I heard about that Raq! It's craziness!

In totally unrelated news, I finally got my newest quilt and fairy tale up on my website: [link]

For once, I do recommend reading the comments. That's some fine wackjobbery going down in there. Microchips! Gun control! Big Brother!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

can I get a gross order of those for Time Warner Cable, and once worn, activate ALL of them? Warning: Bitch Rant!

1) the service apointment is all day, 8am-8pm. No way to narrow down when they will arrive.

2) Seems the previous tenant never turned off service. So I dealt with 2 guys last week for well over an hour, close to 90 minutes combined. What did they do? Seems I have 2 addresses tied to my account. With my SS#, phone number, and name, but TWO service address. Both showing ON. Um. WTF! "is this your old address?" "No, I just moved from California". "do you know anyone at this address?" "I just moved from California, I don't know ANYONE at ANY address". "We will have to research this and find out..."

WTF! Take it off my account! STAT!

In the meantime, no idea when the service dude will arrive either. A 12 hour window? Seems a bit wanky to me.

OK, I guess I need more sleep. I'm a bit grumpy. Sorry for the tight diamond shoes and all.

Uggg. Service transfered me to Billing. I was working with the very nice lady there for about 30 minutes. Now I'm on hold with the fraud department. In total, my cell phone usage time is well over 2 hours and counting to establish service with Time Warner. Grrrr.

45 minutes, and I'm off. Andre has cleared the problem. When I stated, that in order to start service, it has eaten well over 2 hours of cell phone minutes, and that my initial reaction to my new provider is very poor, his response was "well, we are sorry, and the account notes who that initial agent was, and we will deal with them and their supervisor so it doesn't happen again". OK, that doesn't help me!

grrr. I need more sleep. But if I go to sleep, service dude will ring, and I won't be able to get outta bed fast enough, or hear it, and then lose my service appointment. grrr.
