And cars without the turn signal upgrade - wait...what? What's that you say?!
ALL cars come equipped with turn signals standard?! It's not extra?!
You mean people JUST DON"T USE THEM?! Well, now I'm really pissed off.
Okay, enough sarcasm - for now.
Sooooo, I get this mailer from My Cable Company regarding my blazing (cough, cough) fast interwebz.
On the outside it says, "We Appreciate Your Business".
I open it, thinking it's going to tell me they're reducing my rate or giving me a month for free or something - because they appreciate me!
Yes, I am that naive sometimes, in spite of how it
No, instead it tells me they're jacking up my rate by $11 a month, but that I'm still getting such a great deal that I will enjoy paying that extra $132 this coming year. Oh, AND because they are so wonderful - I don't have to do anything - the change will happen automatically.
YOU'RE WELCOME Treasured and Appreciated Customer
Signed,
Your Cable Company [who has you by the short hairs and knows it]
As Wu [Deadwood]would say, "c0$6s^85er".

What else? Mom got a collection notice from the phone company for $162.10 - it's been almost two years since she's had a phone company. Now I need to do research, it seems random.
What are they going to do if it isn't paid - shut off her phone? HA!

Things I don't hate: this song. (This is not "official" video, but I like it.)
Especially Me by Low
Cry me a river
So I can float over to you
The bearer to deliver the news
I'm over the moon
And underfoot
All these elixirs would be moot
'Cause if we knew where we belong
There'd be no doubt where we're from
But as it stands, we don't have a clue
Especially me and probably you
You've fallen in a slumber
Just wake one more time
To miss or put asunder
Would be a crime
Some songs feel like butter
Some songs sound like cake
This little number is for your sake
'Cause if we knew where we belong
There'd be no doubt where we're from
But as it stands, we don't have a clue
Especially me and probably you
'Cause if we knew where we belong
There'd be no doubt where we're from
But as it stands, we all need the truth
Especially me and probably you
Definitely you
Kim I am with you on all of it. Every time I think about what we are paying to Dish Network for what we are receiving it almost makes me sick.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Not Comcast by any chance, was it?
ReplyDeleteAt least there's music, always music. Thanks for this one, which I did not know.
@ Andrea - Time-Warner. But a cable company by any other name is still...well, you know.
ReplyDeleteCollege radio stations are the best.
This song was a driveway moment...some songs feel like butter, some songs sound like cake...amazing.
