When You Think Things Are Bad......

.....trust me, it can always get worse!  For my next hair appointment (in like 2 more months) someone PLEASE stop me from wanting to cut it.   I need it to grow, and I need it to grow like now.  I hated it last time and I triple dog hate it this time.   I'm going to go cry now.  KBye

Yay for Off Track Time!!

It's time again to go off track. Hooray!  December is my favorite time to have off of school.  I get 4 weeks, which is longer than my usual 3.  I have time to get my Christmas shopping done, run errands and overall just enjoy the holiday season.  I haven't been a huge fan of Christmas for the past couple years, but I'm working on not being such a scrooge and enjoying just the simple things.  I put up my decorations the weekend of Thanksgiving which is always quite the ordeal.  I have a million boxes of Christmas decorations it seems. I think I might have enough to decorate a much larger house than mine, but I have to admit all the cute stuff around my home does make me happy.

My dad came last night to help me put the star on my tree since it wasn't cooperating.  Thanks Dad! :)  He also was able to help me string some lights on my balcony and set up my light up snowman.  Hooray!  I'm feeling very festive this year.

Snow

I've never been a huge fan of winter or snow in particular.  I don't like being cold, and I don't like driving in snowy conditions. Ick!  One of the things I do like about winter would be snowmobiling.  However, that topic would be for a different post. :)  All day Sunday into Monday morning we had quite the storm.  Monday morning my snow shoveler people never came.  Oh fabulous!  All I have to say about that is I get quite frustrated when I'm paying my HOA dues and the snow shoveler people don't show or do a crappy job.  I suck at shoveling my own driveway and it'll take me forever with my trusty little shovel.  I got stuck in the stupid street and was late to school.  Definitely not a great Monday!

When I got home that afternoon still no shoveling people.  Everyone had shoveled their own driveways and the sidewalks were a mess!  They showed up around 5:00 and did a pretty crappy job.  Maybe only about half of the sidewalks or half of some driveways were finished.  And I somehow ended up with more snow at the end of my driveway then was there before I shoveled.  Maybe you shouldn't be blocking my driveway with snow.  Just a thought.  They came back again on Tuesday to try and plow the rest of our streets.  Maybe if they'd done it all on Monday things wouldn't have turned so icy and it wouldn't have been such a pain to shovel.

Stupid Internet!

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving my modem died. I called the internet company that evening and of course they want me to try all these things that I've already tried before I even called them. Yup, it died, which I already knew. I ordered a new modem which they said would be expedited to me and I would receive it by Friday afternoon. Friday comes, no modem. I call again and they said there was never a note about expediting, so it was never shipped. They would ship it out Monday morning and I would receive it by Tuesday. Tuesday comes, I get a Fedex package with an installation CD, no modem. I call once again. There is no record of a modem being ordered. I talked to many people and asked where my modem was.....and they couldn't have mentioned that there was no modem? I was pretty upset by this point since my modem that was suppose to be ordered last Wednesday now would not get to me until Friday.

They transferred me to Loyalty where I talked to a complete jerk that was in Logan, Utah. I explained my long, annoying story and told him that I was completely frustrated with their service and needed some sort of compensation for my inconvenience. He told me he would refund me $7 on my bill for the unused internet time, and that was all. Really?! A bunch of idiots work for your company and can't even order a modem, or bother to tell me that there was no modem ordered and you won't give me anything else besides 7 pathetic dollars? I became very irate since someone who was suppose to be in customer service and helping me was a complete a$$! I told him he was no help and a very rude and disrespectful person! I would be contacting Comcast to receive better service and with someone that actually cares about their customers.

I was transferred to another department where I cancelled my stupid modem, cause why the heck would I want one of those now? Calling again on Wednesday (yup, I pretty much called every single day) they wanted to transfer me to Loyalty after I told them their customer service is horrible...heck no! Rude people work there! I actually got a nice guy this time who refunded me $100 on my bill for my inconvenience and checked to make sure that the modem was actually cancelled. Who can trust them after everything that has happened?

Friday morning, my cancelled modem arrived. Really? Maybe I should've cancelled it to begin with and it actually would have come. I don't want your stupid modem and you better not charge me for the dumb thing! Ugh! What a pain in my behind this whole thing has been!
