The Ka-Tet Cantina 3

[Sundrop]

Good morning, Happy Friday!!

I have a somewhat busy day today. Have both kiddos coming, and I have to make a trip to the bank. Have the internet people coming to "upgrade" my modem. I had to call and holler, my bill jumped $30. Oh, that was a promotion. It's over. But we can get you on another one. Ok. Do that. (Why do they do that? If it is sooo easy to just put you on another, why don't they just leave you there?)

Anyway, they said I needed an upgraded modem and I asked if that wasn't something I could just do myself and they said no. So I imagine that means something needs done outside, to the line, too. But the "window" they gave me is real precise...8-5. So I need to get to the bank and back and cross my fingers they don't show up while I'm gone.

Good luck with the upgrade! Hope they get you all fixed up before the weekend! I hope you don't have Spectrum.....they've taken over everything here, and don't really care if you leave them or not......

I will probably be without service for a while, hopefully not too long. But will wish everyone a happy weekend, Happy Sunny's Birthday , and happy vacations now, in case! Enjoy, relax, have fun and be safe in any and all celebrations! Big hugs and positive vibes to all!

Thanks for the B-day wishes.....be careful though, you might end up standing in the corner with do1you9love?

Not Spectrum...they must be bad everywhere! No one that has them here are happy with them! I just had a salesman at my door 2 days ago. They can't read, either...we have no soliciting stickers on our door. The last one who tried "selling" me on it, I stepped outside, told her, "Look right over there, see that dish? I have DirecTV, have never had problems with them and am not switching." Then I pointed at the no soliciting sticker. Got a dirty look but she left.

It's lots of fun in my corner, though!!

The corner is where all the cool kids hang out!

Same feeling about Spectrum. They took over Brighthouse. Total run around, poor service and if I see one more of their "deceptive" pricing ads, I'll scream ( and it takes a lot to make Spidey scream!)

Whoohoo!! Party on the corner! cat_in_a_bag, are you in??

Ooooh, yeah. I'm most definitely in!

Don't start without me!!!!!!

 

[Sundrop]

Not sure I'll be able to get back here before we close for the holiday..... Hope everyone has a fun, safe, and fabulous 4th of July!!!

 

[Neesy]

Ahhhh, you must! Everyone must! LOST for all!

I'll make a point of finding it - I was behind in catching up with more than one series - thanks!

 

[Neesy]

See you on the other end

Just don't burn the candle on both ends while we're off!

 

[Neesy]

(((all in need or not)))

Ms Mod, Dana Jean, Flake, Tery and all the SKMB Ka-Tet--- be safe and have fun.

I hope all will be on their best behaviour and if not, call me and I'll try to bail you out!

 

[Neesy]

Do not forget Bev Vincent.

I looked him up - so I guess he is a transplanted to Texas former Canadian? Yee-Haw! (probably has a gun and everything by now)

Okay then - Happy Canada Day Bev! Bev Vincent

(and Happy 4th of July too)

You all survive and i'll see you in the near future. Just be ware.... There are monsters in the ABYSS!!! Avoid them, Do not try to confront them! Later we will face them down together! The Ka-Tet are strong.

I'm back up and running....but with the same modem.

The tech was here for an hour and a half. Apparently his order said to switch me to a double line, with higher speeds, blah blah blah.

But it would not connect. So he stepped out to check on it and when he came back, he asked if I had called them or if they called me. So I explained about the bill jumping, the promotion and all that.

Turns out the person I talked to on the phone knew not of what he spoke. I did not need new equipment. I did not need a tech. He could have just put me on a promotion without any of this happening today. It was a complete waste of the tech's time (and mine) to switch modems, lines, whatever else when I wasn't actually changing my service, just needed put on a new promotion.

He was very nice about it though, said it was not my fault. He called it in and someone is supposed to call me in a bit to get us put on a promotion without all this other happy crappy going on.

I apologized for wasting his time and wished him an easy time of it for the rest of his day and he left.

Jeez. I mean, I even asked if the service call was necessary. I was not being charged for it, so it isn't that they were just trying to get some $$$ out of me.

Oh well. At least he was very nice and courteous and was very helpful. I never usually do those "how did we do?" surveys they ask you to do after a service call, but I will this time.

So, nothing changed! And now I get to go through the whole lower my bill thing again!

Good thing I was in a pretty good mood this morning.

You're so sweet! Did you offer him some sweet tea? (or is that type of thing big in your neck of the woods?)

No, I didn't. I should have. I never think to do those things!
