Dear AT&T: You have been a part of my life for a very long time. My entire adult telecommuncations life has been spent making out checks to you, or clicking “make payment now” links on your website. I have given you thousands and thousands of dollars and tons and tons of my attention over the years. You have both enabled me to connect with the world and then made it maddeningly difficult to do so.…
I’m all for urban development and smart density, but I’ll be honest: I’m a little prickly about the UT Medical building that’s going up just east of Sun Studio, simply because it obscures the comfortable, quirky Sun facade, which I have always admired on my drive in to work.
Oh, First World Problems. I ordered two packs of miracle berry pills at around 9 p.m. Friday, May 14. I needed them for the following Sunday for Randal’s going-away party, so I figured three- to five-day shipping would give them plenty of time to make it to me. I got nervous when the next Friday rolled around and they still weren’t here. I tracked the package and saw that it had shipped the night of…
Thirty-seven that I can see. There are more I can just feel. I wear Deep Woods Off! like a fine perfume but I get nibbled up just the same. Grrrr.
Got my first batch of mosquito bites of the season. Two on the arm, two on the leg. Keepin’ it symmetrical.
• Woke up before my alarm went off at 6:30. No snooze buttons were harmed. • Went to the Campbell Clinic way out east to get pictures taken of my bones and let a resident feel me up (just my arm!). The doctor told me these elbow shenanigans amount to classic bursitis, which is a pointless and insulting affliction, in my estimation. That’s right, America, I got injured FROM SITTING ON MY ASS AND LEANING ON…
I resisted getting an iPhone for a long time, because I am one of those people who switches on the inner Luddite randomly and without explanation. There was just something about the way so many people were iPhone-gasming at every turn that made me curl my lip and run toward the seemingly much more utilitarian Blackberry when I decided to upgrade to a smart phone a year and a half ago. And then, less than…
If you’ve spent some time on Twitter, you’ve probably spent some time bitching on Twitter about some company that provides some service to you. And if you have spent some time doing that, you have probably spent some time reading super friendly replies to your bitchy tweets from CSRs who spend their time searching all of Twitter for mentions of their company. If memory serves, Comcast was really the first out of the gate on…
Internet’s been wonky since the move. I’m having some issues with phone jacks and then had some issues with my AT&T username and password. I actually got someone helpful from AT&T on the phone at 2 a.m. The only hitch is that she told me to stop using Mac internet sharing to juice my laptop and buy a wireless router because I’m only authorized to use my internet on one computer. Um, huh? Yeah, I’ll…
My sick week really threw me off my game, and by the time actual moving day rolled around, I didn’t have the kitchen or the bedroom packed up at all. So when I had helpers Sunday, we just moved furniture. That left everything else for me by my lonesome Monday. Plus I still had to clean the place. As usual, I underestimated the amount of shit I had in my possession. I got to the…
