I have been having trouble on and off for the past couple of days with my ISP Cricket. Today I finally had to get ugly with them. How can it be that they cannot fix this problem? This has been going on for almost a month now. The girl that I got this evening had a terrible accent. Mind you I am not being mean, I should know about accents after all I am a Mexican-American and I have an accent but at least people can understand me or at least I hope so. Billy Bob, Barney were you able to understand me when you met me?
My accent is not the point here, the point is that if you are going to have a job dealing with the public I think you need to be able to communicate properly with your customers and the person you are trying to help should not be asking you to repeat what you just said and have to do so continuously. I’m I asking for too much? She said she was going to move my account to a higher level and have someone with more technical knowledge contact me tomorrow. If this was an option before, why is it that I am just hearing about it tonight?
Drove into town today and ran several errands. Was rather surprised our water bill had already arrived at the P.O. Box. It is never mailed on time and the citizens have been complaining for years that we need more drive-up lanes or alternate methods like the ability to make e-payments. There was a long line today.
As I was waiting my turn I remembered thinking that the building that is across the street from City Hall (where the water bill is paid) was going to be a new city facility, then I thought perhaps it was a bank. When it was completed it did not have any kind of sign or gave a clue as to what it might be. I later found out it was the new FBI headquarters.

Swung by my bank and since “the incident” I swear they have been overly friendly to me, guess that is a good thing. I really like my bank that is why I still have my account there.
I do not know if it is the weather which has been gloomy and cold but I have been taking a lot of naps lately. Sat down to watch the Super Bowl and fell asleep. Would wake up and watch a couple commercials and would doze off again. I therefore cannot say I actually watched the game.
One thing I was able to accomplish today was switching over to a better rate plan after the whopper of an electrical bill we got last month. We had never paid this much even in the summer time. My next project is raking the leaves, maybe tomorrow?
