Counting Days

I feel like a kid again counting my days before my vacation (6 more working days)... my days before my bday (10 more days)... days before Xmas (11 more days)... and a new year (18 more days). The only difference is that when I was a kid, I was happy but now, I don't really know how I feel.

Part of me wants these events to finish and start a good year. Part of me is scared that I am getting old again and have still not accomplished much. A greater part of me misses home and feels the loneliness that this holiday season brings in.

Maybe, it's the time of the month... maybe it's being away from home... maybe, it's just me... maybe it's the pressure at work... maybe baby...

I know I have to be thankful for the friends I gained here and for having a special someone right now but I can't help what I'm feeling too.

Alright gotta go and stop dwelling on this part, Matt is making tacos and dessert and I need to drive to his place now. I know when I get there, my mood will be different. Haay, it's nice to have a baby damulag (his new pet name) :)

Time Warner Cable Sucks!!!

Damn, Time Warner Cable sucks big time! I can't believe that they are now a monopoly and they can not even make things right when they have all the opportunities to make money. I miss Adelphia Cable.

Here is the list of my complaints:

1. They made the services more expensive (sounds like a real monopoly here)
2. They offer services not even available in your location
3. They do not record phone conversations (I called 5 times and nothing was recorded but I jotted them down after learning the first time that they did not do it.)
4. Their waiting period for calls takes forever...
5. ...and when it says your waiting time is approximately 30 minutes, that means an hour or so.
6. They can not make your bill right
7. They give you misinformation
8. You can not tell if the-supposed-to-be-customer-service-representative is saying the right thing or not about their services and fees coz one says different things as to the other and the other and the other and the other...
9. They charge you for services that you have already cancelled
10. All their commercials and ads are freaking false
11. They give you notice after notice after notice since they keep on changing instructions and dates for migrating Adelphia and Comcast to Time Warner
12. Road Runner internet is definitely slow and you can see the difference
13. Your cable internet connection gets down every now and then (Oh and I just noticed that my YM got disconnected while I was writing this!)
14. Definitely the worst service ever in my freaking entire life
15. I hate to talk and complain to their NON-customer service reps but I always have to
16. I don't have a choice but to stay with them and you know the reason why

Patience is definitely not a virtue for this sucker! I think they should be called the Time and Money Sucker!
