There are people on the net that
have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other
people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking
about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day
talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for
their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone
to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw
a temper tantrum.
To these people I say
grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the
web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am,
or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my
hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else.
It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and
nasty site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine.
That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like
it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go
somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too
fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone
forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me,
cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for
you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything
stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express
myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it
doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about
it.

Another Week Finished Well, it's Friday. And I'm almost at the end of my day. I'll be done with my vacation coverage at the temp job in about 45 minutes. It was nice being back in here for the week. I really like everyone here; it's a good group with a good sense of humor and a laid-back attitude. Nothing stuffy or overly corporate PC, you know?
I have to give an amusing update to the cable tv situation I reported yesterday. (In brief: my lower channels were totally unwatchable with noisy snow and when I called to tell them we had this problem last week and that the problem is outside of my apartment, they told me basically I was wrong and scheduled an appointment for Saturday morning.) So I get home yesterday from work and turn on the tv. Out of habit, I turn on the local CW network because they play The Simpsons at 6pm. And sure enough, the picture was clean and clear.
Gee, who would have guessed it? Oh that's right, I did. Could it be that someone else realized the problem was external and sent some techs to fix the problem outside the building? Unlike the rep who told me I was basically some stupid customer. My guess is that someone else in my building reported the problem and their tech diagnosed that it was outside, thus restoring clear service to all of us in the process. Love got home a little early yesterday and said that the cable - tv, phone and internet - kept turning on and off all day, so they must have been working on it. Most likely replacing a cable or connection.
I must admit, I feel terribly vindicated. I just wish I could get the same rep on the phone and tell her that, as I stated to start with, that the problem wasn't in my apartment and that it's been fixed. Sadly, I know I'll never get the same person. Shame. It'd be fun to give her a little bit of condescending attitude this time around. The biggest thing is that I don't want to sit on hold for another ten minutes and deal with that irritating menu system (that refers to itself in the first person, I might add, as if it were a real person. Creepy.) just to cancel the appointment for tomorrow. I'm undecided if I'm going to bother or not.
Anyway, I'm just happy its working again. Next time I call them, I need to ask about a promo they're advertising that would cut some cash off our bill. Seeing as they're offering the special as an "upgrade" and showing it ON cable (meaning that only current subscribers can view it) I want to take advantage of it. Most of their ads say, "new customers only" but this one doesn't. It might be a little bit of a fight, but it's a 12-month price and we're in our lease for 11 more months. Might as well try to take advantage of it. It's quite a price break, so it's worth it.
Let's see...just wrapping up around here. Making sure every thing's in order for her when she gets back. Beyond that, I think that sums up what I had to report. So I think I'll close up and finish the little things left before the end of the day. Happy Friday to everyone!
