Every so often, I [not by my own creation] live through a scene from a movie. This morning’s scene was from ‘The Princess Bride’. “Let me ’xplain.”
* There was a blond woman [with a boyish-Elf haircut and build, but blond nonetheless].
* There was a man in black [no bandana or mask, but hey].
* There was me [who doesn’t often carry swords to work, but has one at home just in case].
* There was a rather large fellow, with side burns, who was tall enough to reach over the security door, bang on the handle bar and open the door up for us to enter. The key wasn’t working and there weren’t any guards.
I really wanted to ask to see the man’s Brut Squad card, but my Tylenol is olde.

I still hate them. Here is the current state of affairs:
“It’s our fault your connection wasn’t working. We’ll charge you for telling you that it was our fault, and the bill will be the same amount as your normal bill — essentially, doubling your bill for this month. We appreciate your business.”
I stomp their hats.

Today, I decided to change my Verizon Wireless plan — end of billing cycles &c. Believing what I was told 2.5 years ago, I was willing to take the “Termination Fee” hit for a cheaper deal over the long term.
The first Ver-Wir store I went to was worse than useless. “Don’t change your plan, thanks, buy.” No, I did not misspell anything.
The second store I went to gave me all the correct answers except “We can help you do this here” and “They who can help you are nearby and in your direction”.
The third store had a waiting list. There was eye candy, so I waited. Later, the guy helping me also had to wait — on the phone. Several times. Finally, I was able to…
Keep my olde cell phone number [main source of the wait]
Change my plan [why I was there]
Keep my phone [which I have more incentive to do now]
However, I learned several things:
My olde plan was not going to die in six months; my olde plan was already dead and I was on no contract at all. Um, I’ll take the “no Termination Fee” as consolation.
My saved VoiceMail messages are now gone into the digital wind. My own fault for not saving them before today, but still.
I don’t get a free phone every two years now. My own fault for not doing this earlier, but still.
Now that I’m finally home, it’s time to go back out to an appointment. I wonder when dinner happens… ah, the memories.

My sub-conscious can:
*Out-smart me
**For my own good
***In a realistic fashion
****In my sleep
*****Without any “special training”
Should I be concerned?

Apparently, swine flu has reached my olde high skool. So, after the Columbine Love… there are now snow days, bomb days and pandemic days. Pretty soon there won’t be any more skool daze.
The most recent version of WordPress is slightly broken. Very Annoying.

A consolidation project I started when I was rather absent minded has exploded. However, the additional work — once completed — shall be beneficial in the future when completed.
I’m now engaged, btw. There hasn’t really been an email about it [yet], so don’t be offended about not getting one. Political nicety email to go out “sometime soon”, like when I get my head above water.
Talking about my head and water, I got my first cold for the year… and in a year. It sucked//sucks, though I am getting better. It was timely in that the majority of it hit over the weekend — when I could “rest up”, OD on Vit. C and pretend to breathe when attempting to sleep.
More dildo from Comcast. Vile Devil seems to be having the connection actually work during the “Technician Window”. Ugh. Not that there’s more than one suspect as to what’s happening either [Read: Monopoly Symptom].
