AND I just noticed while poking in my account that they have me confirmed for a setup appointment in July. In Connecticut.

Ooops.

I need to call Comcast myself. Though I can't call the normal customer service line because we have a "special account" due to and agreement between Comcast and our apartment complex. Do I have the contact number. No. I need to contact the complex office and two calls is just too many.

So, I'm hanging at Starbucks while CJ is taking a drivers ed classroom training at ARP. Yep, he is learning how to drive the fancy trucks - lights, sirens, and all. Saturday he gets to actually learn how to drive them. *I* want to learn how to drive the trucks!

The chat person I got through to was actually helpful. And did not hang up on me at any point.

I've had fine customer service from Comcast, but my actual service, not so much.

Given the number of times my DVR decides not to record something, if it weren't for On Demand, I would have cancelled everything long ago.

My Time-Warner DVR does something interesting: it never records Judge Judy at the correct time. always 1-5 min late.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
