GRRRRR. Cablevision.

Okay. For the second time in a month I have taken a vacation day (!) from work to stay home and wait for the cable repair guy to come. The first time he got here over an hour and a half late, and when he finally arrived, what was the problem, you might ask??? The problem was that they accidentally turned off my service instead of someone elses out at the street (this was the second time this happened). Today, when no one showed up during the 8 to 11 am time slot by noon, I called to see where they were, and ooooh, guess what....they cancelled my appointment several days ago. No one knows why. So here I sit, fuming, waiting for a supervisor to call me back. Not happy.

I had the same experience once, with the wrong wire being cut on the phone pole. The guy came and said, "See? You can see it dangling up there from here." Oh, how many times had I thought the same thing?

see, now if it was time warner i could give you the personal email address of the head honcho. hehehehe, gotta love alumni directories, eh? that was how i got by cable in in a week when they projected 3 months.

It gets even better. I called to see why neither the cable guy nor the supervisor had called back, and was told that I DO have an appointment, but unfortunately its not today.

Long story short, they'll be here by six, but then again, the fat lady hasn't sung...
