I celebrated with leftovers.

Can I just say that having a political tweet go viral gets you the best art projects from everywhere. (No. Really not the best. NOT the best at all. Block block report report gahhhh)

Also I'm trying to not imagine my happy laugh if all those people RT/liking would buy a book.

Connie, it's not a panini press, but I think I have one of those sandwich makers I never use if you want it.

I have none of the items listed, -t, though I did have two irons, which I gleefully got rid of because ironing destroys my soul. Perhaps when my budget has recovered a bit from the costs of moving and setting up a new household. A George Foreman grill type thing is actually useful.

That would be very gracious indeed, sj. Profile addy is good, I'll happily pay for shipping.

I'll try to dig it out of the pantry tomorrow.

I have escaped Comcast, and now they're trying to chase me down. First they claimed I didn't return the equipment. $190 fee for that.

Now it's an early termination fee on the contract. The person on the phone explained to me that because I moved out of their service area, I have to pay a $160 fee. I tried explaining to her that contracts don't really work like that, or no one would ever sign a service contract.

Now I'm waiting on hold for a supervisor. Estimated time, 15-30 minutes.

Comcast is the worst.

I found a job that is kind of the opposite of what I've been telling myself I wanted (smaller org, mostly), but reads like it plays to my actual strengths and not all the things I think I should be better at. But I just re-read the posting, and it says 7 years of experience in an academic setting is required. I definitely don't have that. Apply anyway? I guess I'd better. I can fluff up my resume to play up the academic stuff I have done.

Yes, apply anyway.

The supervisor, who the rep swore would just tell me the same thing, actually understood what I was saying and got the damn thing refunded. Fuck you one last time, Comcast. At least until we move again.

Apply and fluff.

You're giving me flashbacks, Dana. Comcast tried to hit me with an unreturned equipment fee for something I never actually had, but i had to go in to the office for some other reason and while I was there a human being looked at my records and said "oh, it says right here you never had that equipment, let me get rid of that fee". Such a weird combination of annoyingly byzantine and absurdly easy.

My town fortunately has another option to Comcast, though slightly more expensive. I've been pleased with them.
