Sunny weather

My family and I are leaving for the Tampa/Orlando area tomorrow morning, for a week. I think we've caught up with most people from there who want to spend some time with us, but if we missed you somehow, please drop us a line. I think we're going to try to put Rhys on a vacation sleep schedule 10 am - 10 pm, so we should be able to go out to dinner and stuff if you work weekdays but want to get together.

The new tablet's coming with, the hotel has wireless, and I probably will end up online after bedtime for other folks, so I should be in some touch here.

*hugs you all*

Wasting my morning

Dear Verizon Marketing, and whomever set up the flow of Customer Service:

You are the worst organized company I have ever had to deal with.

Please do not send promotional letters for services that you cannot sell me.

Moreover, please do not spend hours of my time transferring me to someone who supposedly can sell it to me, and does, with a full process including confirmation with an uncanny valley voiced agent in India, and then dump the information into a void of nothingness, so that when I call a week later to find out why I have not gotten an installation call, you can tell me (after 6 transfers and almost an hour on hold, of course) that there is no record, and there is no way a record could have been created because you cannot, in fact, sell me that. And that, in fact, you don't have any planned date to put that service in my area at all.

Damn you all. If you ever do decide to offer FIOS TV in my area, you better be offering me a free HDTV again. Two of them. And a pony.

No love,
Vicki
