Tech Support

I recently spoke with Dish Network regarding my account. I can't even explain it, too frustrating. So, for the nuts and bolts of the story: I call and ask about a mysterious item (charge) on my statement, and because there is no scripted answer for my question, I get a scripted answer to every question except mine. I cancelled my service. My current service provider is my antenna. I'm loving every minute of it. Seriously. There's too many channels out there and now that I don't have them I find that I didn't really need them after all. So liberating. I recommend it.

Friday, 6:13 in the "P" "M"

ok, i'm about to cry, I rode my bike home from work and one of my wedged espadrilles fell out of my backpack. Actually I have the car of African-Americans to thank for informing me that my backpack zipper was half unzipped. They kept honking at me and I tried to ignore them for a block, thinking it was just your average white female heckling/cat calling in T-town, but thanks to them that's when I noticed a shoe was missing. So I turn around and head back the 6 miles to my office, never finding the missing shoe, and now I type teary-eyed before riding home. It's ok, they're just shoes, I tell myself. Then I answer myself with "no they're not, damn it. NO THEY ARE NOT."

The Office (part 2)

So when the exam director returns from vacation, what does she have for her hard-working assistants? Fancy new pens, pencils and post-it notes!
