Returning to work is hard after vacation
Aug. 13th, 2013 01:49 amYou know the day isn't going to go perfect when it starts with a phone call to Comcast at 5:50am. The internet was down, I unplugged the modem and router... nothing. So I called, she said I had to unplug the router, she sent a signal and told me to plug in the router once the lights were bright. Then hung up on me. Ok, sure, we probably got disconnected, but seriously, how many people are calling them at that time of day?
Now I'm spending my lunch, what little of it I have, with Comcast again because I'm only receiving email from one of four accounts I have with them. I called yesterday and they researched and escalated it to somewhere and that I should try it again in 24 hours and if I still don't have my mail - call back.
WTH. So still not getting mail on those three accounts, so I'm calling back. After 31 minutes it’s being escalated to a level two team and that it will be corrected within 72 hours. UGH. So I stressed that this hasn’t been working since Saturday and that this is the second call back and it’s still not corrected. She has credited our account 20 bucks, which, nice and it’s not my main account. However since it’s the “shopping” email there will be hundreds of emails to go through. Annoying.
Kids
Last week we received the letter for LM#1 entering First grade. His teacher name, the list of supplies he needs (holymoly batman!) and the school hours etc. We are signing him up for after care, it's associated with the school district so the bus will take him from school to the rec center. And for before care... I'm going to try and work out coming to work a little later so I can get him on the bus. We don't get the bus schedule until next week so there are a couple of options. I may be dropping him off at school at 8:20 and not waiting for the bus, all depends upon the time.
We had a hell of a storm here this morning, tons of flooding and rain. I actually worked from home for a little bit then came in when everyone was at work so my commute was still awesome. Sucks for those that were stuck in the traffic though.
TV
I've been noticing a trend and perhaps it's been there a while, perhaps I overlooked it, but for now it's really irritating. (Spoilers for The Bridge and House of Cards ( Writers creating drama where there doesn't need extra drama? )
General thoughts on season one and the beginning of season two of ( Teen Wolf )
