Cheers and Jeers

Miracles happen every day. For example: the microwave oven is a miracle. It cooks things many times faster than the regular oven, or even toaster oven. And speaking of "faster", I would like to put in a bad word for Comcast Cable Internet services.

Much like our previous insurance companies (and maybe even out current insurance company) we were paying top dollar for a service we weren't receiving. We called to find out why two times. TWO times, I tell you. When I told comcast we were switching to DSL because we thought we would get a faster speed the lady assured me that there was something wrong with our service. That was what WE told the previous two customer service reps, one of which told us there was nothing wrong, and the other of which was just plain rude.

The rates of speed between our new DSL and the old cable internet isn't as dramatic as the cooking time difference in the conventional oven and our new microwave, but it really is remarkable. Shame on you, Comcast, for waiting until we cancel our "high speed" internet to offer professional customer service.

Here's a picture for you to ponder. It's my youngest sister, Rock Star Barbie Sara and my son, the Alien.
