I Hate Sprint

Almost 90 mins of hold time total. The first woman blamed my phone; the second woman blamed my phone.

I ripped some ass today, I hate being treated like I am some backwoods hick and not smart enough to realize that if I can not get any signal, and Pauline can not get any signal, it is not our phones, but both swore up and down it was our phones and there is nothing wrong with the network even when I reminded them that less then 4 weeks ago a cell tower went down or some BS.

It took me a while to even find a # to call on the Sprint site, it says to call *3 if you have a issue (which didn’t work either which is why I needed a # to call) but the second lady told me to hit *Q (which is *7, why she said Q makes no sense to me) and by this time I was yelling too much and sharing my feelings regarding my thoughts on Sprint so I have no real idea why they advertise *3 and it is *7.

I then drove to the Sprint office 3 miles away and the very first thing they said to me when I walked in was “Hi, welcome to Sprint, we have no signal right now”

Hmmmmmm….. must be my phones after all.

Please someone explain to me how a multi billion $ company that specializes in communication has zero clue when they have a problem but when I walk into a local store, they know instantly.

I spent almost 90 mins on Skype to be told there is no problem and 90 secs in a store telling me they know and have reported it….

Not what I wanted to do today.

*as I was ready to post this we got signals again….ggggrrr sprint… 4.5 hours

How Do I Feel?: annoyed annoyed

Do you know what is worse then calling Sprint for support?

Having to call Sprint using Skype cause you get zero connection on your cell phone for the second time in a month.

SPRINT SUCKS!

17 mins and counting on hold…..

How Do I Feel?: pissed off pissed off

stressed

Geeze talk about a way to mess up a day.

I am in a pretty bored state as of late, I have really nothing to do and I want to do less, so I have been shit faced bored to the point I am going to bed around 11 PM and getting up at 8 AM which is weird and just wrong.

If I actually worked on everything that still needs to be done, I would be 100% done in a few hours at most, and there is still 11 days before we get the moving van, so it is still too soon.

So about 30 minutes ago I am chatting with a close friend who lives in Seattle and she asked to see pics of the new place, so I send her the pics my Portland friends sent us and since the rental office use the same interior pics for more then one address I go to craigslist and find the rental pics that we saw and send her the URL and tell her the pics are the same the address isn’t…. Then I see the address to the listing that was just posted TODAY was in fact the same address we signed a lease for 2+ weeks ago.

RATS!!!!

So I’m flipping out, stressed and boredom makes me an angry angry man, so I call the rental company and (I was very polite) she tells me she will look into this and call me back. 2 mins later she calls and says she never leased it to us and we was never screened…. as soon as she said that I heard someone in the background yell “I found it” and she asked him “are you sure?” and he says “yes”.

She then apologies and says she is normally the one who does this for the office and was on vacation the week we did this and wasn’t not told it was rented, so all is well and the add was taken down within minutes of our phone call.

WHEW…. that got me going.How Do I Feel?: bored

An Actual Post

I know I haven’t been updating as much.  I really just hasn’t been inspired…..or my brain just quits working when I sit down to write.  Lets see if I can actually babble about something tonight.

I worked this weekend.  I did fine Saturday, but come Sunday I did my best during the first 4 hrs.  Then it just got really hard not to sit down and rest my feet.  In the end I left an hour early since I was wasting payroll and knew I would probably go over when I work tomorrow.  When I got home, I didn’t work unless I had to for about 3 hrs and took an hour nap during that.

I really needed to get started on organizing our packing and get more done.  I did pretty good last night on getting things done, but sat down a lot.  I wanted to get more done today, but some how didn’t get very far.  So I’ll have to attack it tomorrow.  Since the 1st it is all online work once I get home.

But I really over did it Sunday.  Because when I got up this morning I hard a really hard time walking.  I haven’t felt that bad in the morning in about a week….icks  So I didn’t even try to work out this morning……it hurt and I had way too many other things to do.

It didn’t help that I didn’t get crap for sleep for Sunday.  Sunday, I normally head in at 6am.  So I was in bed early Saturday, but couldn’t sleep. My mind would not shut off on racing around about packing.  And then I start to think about Harold driving cross country with our stuff without me, towing our truck…..so I then started to worry about it…..I’m not working on those days, so I’m going to be stressing it….especially if I’m already doing it and we don’t even have the moving truck yet.

Today I dropped off some of our stuff to goodwill, ran a few other errands and then came back to do some online work.

I also had to de-fur our couch….holy cow I could make a whole new cat with the amount of fur I got off of it.  Especially from the back.  Our couch was a big 3-piece corner sectional and we decided that it was time to get rid of it and didn’t want to haul it to Oregon.  So we gave it to a friend of mine from work.  I love being able to give stuff to folks who appreciate it and will get some good use out of it.  I like to recycle and especially to friends.  I like the personal touch.  So back on track, my friend came over with her boyfriend and we hauled it over to their new place……which, I have to add, was a really nice place.

We are feeling good, we got rid of the 2 really big items that we needed and wanted to get rid of…….the couch and the weight universal… we may actually have room left over in the moving truck….that is not normal for us.  =)

When we got back, it was back to some online work……now I’m fighting the urge to attack some more packing since I have to head to bed soon….it is will be a very early day for work.

Damn, I actually got something typed up……don’t know if I’m going to be able to do this tomorrow…..we’ll see.
