Sick Sick and Tired
Here I sit on a Saturday night at almost 11 PM. I caught that sinus crap that was going around last week. It starts off draining and then you get all stopped up. I hate this stuff. Which sucks since it is my Birthday tomorrow. I wanted to do something tonight, but here I am about to down some Nyquill. WHOO HOOO! Let’s celebrate!
But last night is the first time in a week I actually got sleep. I passed out around 10:30 and woke up at 9:30 this morning. Which is a good thing and I hope I do the same tonight. The last few nights I”ve been going to sleep around 1 am and back up at 6. So I hope I’m almost done with this.
We went shopping at 6 am on Friday, yeah that’s so not me. But we went to Kmart of all place I hate Christmas shopping and I haven’t been the to any retail establishment on the day after Thanksgiving since I worked retail. But we went for one thing, and well we didn’t get it. And the crowds were amazing, Goes to show you the American retail sector is going to have no probs this Christmas season.
Then tonight we went to Value City, don’t ask, and it was just as crazy. I had hoped to find a reasonably priced dvd recorder. But all I found were just crazy Christmas shoppers. Oh well, Outta here, I should have done something special for HGOTW, but being sick this week I still have to sort that out in the morning!

Its Birthday Time AGAIN!
Yup can you believe it's been a year, me either. Time flies this year big time. I was going to post this earlier but I came down with the sinus crap going around and I have felt like crap for a week now. I hopefully will get some sleep. But moving on...WARNING written on Dayquil so I hold no responsibilities for stories told in this blog.
The evening was a good one, we went to Maggiano's in Buckhead and had dinner. And all i wanted was Veal and spumoni, other then that I didn't care. So I got my baby cow and man was it delicious. If you're a vegetarian, save the baby cow speech to someone else, cause it won't work with me. Because its so YUMMY. There is one thing that I really am starting to hate about Maggiano's, its the space between the tables. I always feel like you're just crammed in there, with no space to move and they have everyone on top of each other. Now if I was in NYC I would expect this but in Atlanta, lets get some more space. But it was very good and as I get older, places like bars and noisy restaurants, i can't hear a word of what has been said. Well this is what it was like in the restaurant, it drove me nuts. I had my friends MIke and Todd, there as usual and about 7 others. And we all know I'm all about the presents, and well I didn't get a lot, I don' care if it's something small just give me a present, I truely am one of those that believes "its the thought that counts" But hey it may not have happened at dinner but I got my own Birthday present this past Monday. A silver 80 GB iPod Classic, and I will say I love it. I have had a iPod Mini 4 GB for a few years and it is full and I kept getting tired of it getting full, and having to take things off and put new things on. I"m going through another podcast phase again and the new ones I listen to wouldn't fit on it, and I have been putting off getting a new one for a while and bit the bullet.
Well, you know when you buy a new piece of portable electronics, you don't just stop with it, you have to get all the accessories. With the mini, I got it right before they stopped making it so I got the iTrip FM adapter for it cheap and got a case cheap off ebay, well I went in search of a new FM adapter, and I thought Griffin had an iTrip for the regular one for $35 bucks, boy was I sadly mistaken, they had one but it was $79 bucks and the big one, that can run any of them, was $89, and it charged it while you played it, its the Road Trip. Which also you can tune to any station. Well Thomas got one of these a while back and said it was the best and after using it i can see why. It worked great, no cut outs, no nothing, the only thing I didn't like is it started at 88.1 and I couldn't use 87.9, the station I used to use and I think everyone else, so it may not be a bad thing. Well I didn't tell you I went to like 4 stores to look for the adapter before I settled on the Road trip, i could have just gotten it and not driven around town on Wednesday. I also got a really cool case at Walmart. I discovered that just keeping the iPod in my pocket will scratch it up, and I didn't have a lot in it. Not like ti's majorly messed up but it just annoyed me, So I have my case and I like it, its similar to the one I have for my Mini. Now if Walmart had the Road Trip in stock I def wouldn't have had to drive all over town but I did get to kill time before trivia.
Ok back to my story, I know i was talking about my birthday out and got sidetracked, yet again. So then we, me and Mike and Todd, decided to revive a birthday tradition. Go to the Shoe Show, in case you don't know what that is the strip club, and it's the gay strip club here. If you're familiar with my blog and I don't know how many of you are, when I first wrote the blog back in 2005, I wrote about the last birthday trip to it and it was HOT and fun. Well I don't know what the hell Swinging Richard's is doing but I think it was rough trade nite there. There were two that I tipped. One tall hot boy, and another was a fav of my friend Scott who went. Ok to tell you how bad the evening was I went with $60 bucks, and after the 10 buck cover, I left with $43 bucks, that should tell you something. I think the main problem is that back in the day, they had a lot of dancers through out the nite, for this night I think total they had 16, which was 4 per set and four sets total. So if one guy is really popular, like the tall boy I liked, he was constantly in the VIP area and never out front. So he danced one set and then was gone. So not sure whats up with them. They need to get a better variety of guys too, but oh well. We'll see if we go back, I think I'll hire my own stripper. I guess is the politics of a strip club. Also one thing I hated is they have new lights, and they have these blue lights and I never could see with the blue lights on. LOL I know picky bitter one shut up.
But oh well that was the Birthday, and next week I"m going to do a whole week!

My Internet Drama
Ok, I’ve been meaning to write this for some time and I am finally getting around to it. This deals with Earthlink. And I’ve heard much from people about Earthlink and most feel its going down hill fast.
Let me preface this by staying I have been a customer since 1999. I had recommended Earthlink to all my friends and had incredible customer service and tech support. Every time something happened they got it done in a day or two. But that was all about to change…. Here is the time line
You think it ended there, oh no, I called them at the end of October to terminate the dial up account and noticed on the invoice they sent they had not done any credits for the DSL, I called them and had to go through so they charged me for the whole month of DSL when I got to use two days. I am checking my statement to see if it was actually done. Then they wouldn’t carry over the credits I had to the dial up. But I figure if 10 bucks was all I had to pay then ok.
The part that pisses me off the most is they use to be a great company. I’m not sure what has happened to them. I never had problems and things were fixed in a day or two. The customer service is based in the Philippians and Tech support is in India and no one wants to get you a supervisor. I talked to a few people and they speculate the future of Earthlink, but it shows you, you can be an awesome company and if you don’ manage things you can go down hill quick. I hope they make a turn around and get their act together, if they do, I really would go back with them. But one of the last things they said was you can keep your email for 3 bucks a month, and had it been earlier in the discussion I would have done it, because changing an email you’ve had for 9 years is a pain and by that point everything had been changed over.
Hopefully no more drama will ensue with the new internet, but I have my mail set up through gmail and if I change providers I won’t have to worry about it again.
Let me preface this by staying I have been a customer since 1999. I had recommended Earthlink to all my friends and had incredible customer service and tech support. Every time something happened they got it done in a day or two. But that was all about to change…. Here is the time line
- Thursday, September 6t h 10:00 PM - I got home and the DSL was not working, this was around 10 PM, and I figured it was acting up and would be up in the morning. So I sent to bed
- Friday, September 7th 7:00 AM– I got up and the DSL was still down. I turned off and back on the modem, still nothing, and then I reset the modem and nothing. I didn’t have time to call tech support so I left for work
- Friday, September 7th – 6:00 PM – Called Tech support, and was on hold for an hour. I finally got someone on the phone and they said they would check the line and call me back by 10 AM Saturday morning
- Saturday, September 8th – 1:00 PM – Called to get an update, was on hold for another hour and the tech support person said they would call me back in 5-10 minutes
- Saturday, September 8th – 4:00 PM – Called tech support back and was on hold for an hour, then when I got someone, I had to be transferred and then they put me on hold for 30 minutes and got disconnected, before I could be given the update. During this time, a technician was scheduled unbeknownst to me.
- Saturday, September 8th – 5:30 PM – called tech support back after getting put on hold. Told the initial person answering the phone I didn’t want to be put on hold, I wanted to talk to a supervisor and wanted to know a status now. This time I was on hold for over an hour and a half and when the person answering the phone, I requested a supervisor, and they said none was available and they would call me back in 30 Minutes.
- Saturday, September 8th, 10:00 PM – called customer serviced, and told them I wanted dial up fee waived and was transferred to the wrong department.
- Sunday, September 9th, 9:30 AM – called and demanded to speak to a tech support supervisor, and was on hold for another 30 mins. I was then told I have a tech coming to my house on Thursday. I requested one Monday, but was told the only available time was Thursday.
- Monday, September 9th – 10:30 AM – Online chat via Earthlink’s site, asked about my status of my ticket and they said they were unable to give me one since it was done through another department.
- Monday, September 9th – 3:30 PM – tried to call and get an update, got a message that there was a major outage in the Atlanta area and couldn’t talk to an individual.
- Tuesday, September 10th. 7:00 PM – Called tech support and they were supposed to call me back about when the tech and was told they would call me back. No call returned
- Tuesday, September 10th – 9:30 PM – called to talk about tech and no tech had been dispatched. Was told I would be a priority when the tech came on Thursday. Given the Priority tech support numbed but not given a pin to actually talk to a person. Was transferred to customer service where I was going to cancel my account but a credit was given and was convinced to wait till the tech got there. I told them by Noon on Wednesday my internet had better work or I would be going with another provider. A person did finally call me back after talking to tech support.
- Wednesday, September 11th – 9:25 AM – called for status, no update was given
- Wednesday, September 11th – around 11:00 AM – tech was at the house, internet was up for about 15 minutes and went back down.
- Wednesday, September 11th. – 7:00 PM – called customer service to move my account to dial up till a new provider could be installed. Was transferred to TRON support and was told they would fix what ever was wrong with my account. I talked to a person and they said they didn’t have the notes from the tech from the morning. Then call was returned by 8:30 PM and was on hold for 13 minutes, and was told I needed a new modem, and then a loop connection and they basically didn’t know what was wrong and kept saying things that were going to cost me more money. I told them I didn’t want a new modem, mine worked fine and was only 2 months old. I paid $79 for it and the problem was in the line. This was not the first time this had happened. At this point I was fed up. I transferred back to customer service and terminated my DSL immediately and switched to dial up.
You think it ended there, oh no, I called them at the end of October to terminate the dial up account and noticed on the invoice they sent they had not done any credits for the DSL, I called them and had to go through so they charged me for the whole month of DSL when I got to use two days. I am checking my statement to see if it was actually done. Then they wouldn’t carry over the credits I had to the dial up. But I figure if 10 bucks was all I had to pay then ok.
