To continue with Cynicals rant. Last week our 6 year old, 43 inch projection, 2 thousand dollar, taking up 1/4 of our living room TV went KAPUT! We waited a few days to decide what we were going to do. A couple nights of watching the low resolution projector in the bedroom and we decided to get it fixed. I called the local TV repair place and made an appointment. We decided if it cost more than $500 to fix we would get another TV. Research on the inter webs found that it was going to cost about $450 to fix. Of course we had to delay the appointment a week because we wanted a late appointment. 2 days before the appointment we decided just to get a new TV that would give us more room and might be more dependable. Like it was a lifeline or something but anyway. We purchased a new TV and I called the repair shop to cancel the appointment. They told me they didn't have me on the schedule. Hmmm I guess I am glad I called. The day of the cancelled appointment I had some errands to run so I didn't get home until around 5pm. When I got home on the door was. SORRY WE MISSED YOU. They came to service the TV at 4:50pm. I called to find out what the deal was and it was a miscommunication. OK. Today I was checking the mail and our Internet provider sent us a late bill notice and a hand written comment about service will be cut off if bill wasn't paid by due date. The thing is last months bill was paid and has already cleared the bank. Needles sent me a picture of the bill from her bank website and I fired off a friendly here's your payment and cancel the service anyway email. I took down our wireless antenna and have it loaded up to drop off at their office tomorrow with the last payment. I am sure it just another miscommunication but I think this is one miscommunication to many. YEP I am ready for my 4 day weekend to begin...
Wasn't this the best return to bloggin post. Hooray!
