Didn\u2019t make any sales, but then again, I can\u2019t sell a plastic baggie to a dude walking his dog in the park. I am never sleepy when I get home and have the tendancy to sit on the phone or surf the net while catching a rebroadcast of the <em>Daily Show<\/em> so\u2019s I can keep up with the news and whatnot.<\/p>\n<p>Things to ponder:<\/p>\n<p>Bill Shatner spouting lyrics to cheesy long-forgotten Dionne Warwick songs in a lounge singer style manner, with a unwittingly pitied house band behind him, does not a good tv commerical make. If I see another one I WILL hurl. This is just as obnoxious, if not more, than the one with the kid who burps the alphabet, for God knows what product\/service they are advertising. I have forgotten already.<\/p>\n<p>Also, what\u2019s happened to customer service? Do not, I repeat, do NOT go to Qwest.com if you are considering switching phone companies or DSL providers. If there is a prize for a marathon RUN-A-ROUND, these people won it. In a time span of seven minutes I went from dialing the phone to LOST in the GD woods.<\/p>\n<p>Initially I was greeted by the usual BS automated menu system, at which I was given several prompts, none of which really suited my call. This is where you have to decide just WHICH messed up department you need to speak to, depending on the nature of your call. You always think, \u201c\u2026well no, I should really press \u20184\u2032 because I want to get a credit on my account since I never use this, but then again, I need to go to \u20188\u2032 because I returned the equipment and need to get credit for that also.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So while you\u2019re thinking these things you are like, \u201cWell I don\u2019t want to get the wrong department and get a pissed off person and then really get screwed\u2026\u201d so you just pick one. Three minutes later you get a LIVE PERSON *gasp!* who gives you a different 800 number to call. You\u2019re almost gracious and are lead into believing you have gotten \u2018the HOOK UP\u2019 or something, LOL.<\/p>\n<p>After speaking with *gasp!* anothe LIVE PERSON, you are then given anothe phone number, which is totally different but you think, \u201cwell, they know what they are doing, right?\u201d Some couple minutes later you find you have called 4 different phone numbers, 2 of which are the same, and you are somehow BACK to the main number you called in the first place. ARRRGGGGGHHHH! Smoke break! Do you scream or just cry? I nearly did both. Finally I was put through to the right person and had my problem solved. Or so I thought. They had billed me for DSL I don\u2019t even use. They said they\u2019d adjust my account and note it in the system. Today I get a disconnection notice. Go friggin\u2019 figure.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that N\u2019Sync is STILL the #1 most searched-for item in the category of \u2018music\u2019 in the internet search engines? True. Saw it at mamma.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026last, but certainly NOT least, the BIGGEST thing to ponder remains: Who the HELL let the dogs out??!!!<\/p>\n<p>Noteworthy (or not) sites I caught tonight:<\/p>\n<p>Cartoon Chicks I Wanna Nail. I read everything on this site and all I can say is m-kay. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>Quoteland.com will fulfill your every quotation need whether you\u2019re looking for the words of Mae West to Woody Allen\u2019s whines to stuff from Willie Shakespeare. Knock thyself out, knave.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re Hosed This guy\u2019s actually kinda funny but his recipes are the best thing on the site, IMHO*<\/p>\n<p>Badassmofo.com has all your latest news about bad ass mo fo\u2019s, I guess\u2026funny stuff anyway. Something to read while freezing to death over here.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s killyourtv.com, which lately features nuttin\u2019 but people pissing and moaning about the election (get over it, people) Still something else to read, if you\u2019ve nothing better to do.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, anyone who\u2019s a fan of South Park has been to Mr. Hat\u2019s Hellhole. but just in case you haven\u2019t yet, here it is. Screw you guys, I\u2019m going to bed!<\/p>\n<p>Nitey nite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before I go on and on and on, I just wanna say that it is DRAFTY in this mofer tonight! *teeth chattering* Got home from job #2 late, as usual.
