He squats like a girl, Skinner, not B.

Skinner is a cutie.

I am in hell with Spectrum. Yesterday I got 4 automated phone call reminders about my appointment today AND an in person call AND a text message.

I had to make an hour round trip to turn un the old equipment before the tech came out today.

So I have faster internet but not the streaming service I signed up for. Because she didn't put it on the order. Ok that happens on the call to get that straightened out I get another call from Spectrum with a survey. The person on the phone says it's all set and I should have the streaming service up in a out 15 mins.

An hour later there is nothing. I call and find out I'm not signed up for streaming service but basic cable and the Latino package. While on that call I get a call from Spectrum and a text message about an appointment tomorrow at 8 am. I have to get off the phone and the person um talking to has no idea what that is about but tells me it could take 25 hours for the streaming to start working. Ok .

I get off the phone and call about the appointment. It's to turn on the basic cable. So I connect with someone and explain all of this and find out I still don't have streaming on my account and I have to talk to another person to cancel the cable package that i don't want.

And now I'm on hold for that.

I just want to make dinner.

sj, may your ouchies heal soon.

askye, that does indeed sound like hell.

I think I've finally got it straight. That , however, included about a half hour of trying to get the app on the tv go work only to be transferred to tech support for the app and discover there was a global issue.

I'm not in as much pain as I was expecting to be in. My inlaws canceled on us today, which throws our day into a bit of chaos, but we'll manage.

I'm sorry, askye. I think my least favorite part of having to deal with internet providers is that it usually means I have to be on the phone. Ugh.

Good to hear you aren't as ouchy as anticipated, sj. Sorry about the scheduling chaos.

So glad to hear Skinner's working out, Laura.

Askye, yuck! I hope it's really all fixed and you don't have to call them again.

sj, glad to hear you aren't as ouchy as you thought you'd be. Is it bad or good that the in-laws canceled? If it were me, it would be good. Greg never knows what to say to his family, and so I have to carry the conversation.... you'd think it's been long enough, but I get weirdly tongue-tied sometimes.

Bad, because they come to play with ltc, and I take a nap.

I'm trying to appease the crankiest 3 year old ever with a movie.

I think it's all fixed.

Today I worked 6 hours, no break because there was only 2 of us for the dept. And it was busy. I don't think I can do 6 hour shifts. They are too long without food. At this store I can have food in the stockroom but it was so busy that at one point I was pulling shoes and trying to eat part of an energy bar.

I had breakfast at 8 this morning but with the physical activity I just burn through the calories. And then I get too close to a meltdown. I think I'm going to talk to my manager and ask for either 5 hour shifts or ones long enough to take a real break as an accommodation and I hope they can do it.
