I am trying to cancel my cable in DC and order cable in PA. Comcast has an online system for this that I thought would make it easier. Really not. After entering all the information in the form, I have to go to the Live Chat thing, where I need to give all the same information again. And now I'm waiting for the representative to pull up my account, because their computer system can't find me.

Yeah, with Comcast I much prefer to speak to a live someone on the phone. I don't trust their online booking.

I get insane and furious getting to an agent with Comcast, but once I do, they fix stuff. Though I think I am about to murder my set top box because it loathes to record Leverage. This I cannot abide.

2 points to Cass for using loathe and abide in the same sentence regarding Comcast.

OK, that was just dumb. What's the point of Comcast having me fill out all the forms with my information if the person in chat just asks for all that same information again? Some of it was asked for multiple times in chat.

Cause if the person on the phone doesn't confirm all your information, they get docked by the people who do quality control on their work.

Bad news: Dayquil wore off, and I forgot to pack the extra dose, and sinuses are SCREAMING! Ugg.
Good news: Boss just told me to sign up for class in golf cart driving. Looks like they are getting the little zip cars up and running soon. Woot!

A CLASS in golf cart driving?? OMG. That sounds like it could be awesome, or hell...

Had to chew out my home insurance company AGAIN...am totally removing my shit from them after the end of the year--don't recommend anyone using Allstate.

Okay, I'm wondering if I'm being pissed for no reason here.

Best Friend is getting married in October. In San Diego. Neither she nor her fiance or their families are from there or currently live there; they just like San Diego. That's fine, whatever, the people getting married should get married wherever they want, as long as they understand that not everyone can make it due to finances, etc.

But that's NOT what I'm pissed about.

Also, the top of the info sheet with the invitation has a note that says "This is an adults-only weekend; no children, please." Obviously I don't have kids, so I'm not pissed about that, either, but I find it interesting, considering that she has 9 nieces and nephews. But, again, the couple getting married has every right to have whatever kind of wedding they want, and if they don't want kids there (which I actually think is an awesome idea, having been to too many weddings where feral children ran amok and made the reception like Romper Room), that's their choice. I just think it's weird, given all the nieces and nephews.

What I *am* pissed at -- incandescently so, actually -- is this: I've been living with The Boy for almost 3 years. The invitation is addressed to "Steph and Guest."

WHAT.

Look, if the rest of their invitation/plans adhered to strict Emily Post etiquette rules, I would be less pissed, because it's true that The Boy and I aren't married, so strict etiquette says (I think) that the invitation is to me, her friend, and the guest of my choosing.

But the invitation is all funky paper and casual wording and in no way formal. So I'm not really going to buy the excuse that it was addressed to "and Guest" because they were following what Emily Post says.

Seriously? I didn't just meet him LAST WEEK. He's "and Guest"???

I'm really honked off, and I'm just wondering if it's a reasonable fury.

Teppy, that has happened to me once or twice with invites, and TCG and I have been together 5 years. I usually assume they don't know his last name and are too lazy to call and find out.
