I loved this!

OK. So the whole time I was watching this I was SURE that Simon was going to hate it! But I loved this version of this song. Yes Rene I still like the original better but I jut really think that this showcased his talents all around!

NOT IMPRESSED!

OK. So I moved to the wonderful city of Longview and no it's not Longview that I'm not impressed with. I, at long last, finally have Internet access from my home. I initially placed my order on the 21st of Feb. 2 techs then came to the house the following Wednesday. Apparently our house, the guest house, is too far from the tap that's run to the main house. NO problem. They said that they would be getting someone out to take care of running a tap for this house from a closer transformer. Come Thursday of the next week I hadn't had any word as to what was going to happen so I called for an update. They stated that the tap would be installed the following Monday and my Internet that next day. Well Tuesday rolls around and I get a phone call from the dispatch stating that a tech would soon be in route. This was at around 10 am. I head down to put Grayson on the bus at 10:30. I go to check the mail from the day before and when walking up the walk in front of the main house I find something hanging from the door stating that they were sorry they missed me to call and reschedule. The time marked? 10:15 am! OK. First of all I had specifically stated that the tech needed to call because I needed to remind them that service was being installed at the guest house and not the main house. Trying to be proactive so as to avoid exactly this. So once Grayson is safely on his way to school I call customer service. They state that someone will be coming back out. I had an interview at 1:45 that afternoon. I advised them of this. I leave at 1:30 and return at 2:17. I find yet another note hanging from my door, on the guest house this time, stating that they had missed me yet again to call and reschedule, this time with a time of 2:13. Argh! I'm getting really ticked. I call and they state that they're going to have the tech come back. So I settle in to watch some crappy afternoon television. Now I have another interview at 6 pm so I leave around 5:30 to meet Chad. Prior to that I call customer service yet again to find out where the tech is. I then find out that the tech is not coming. And I haven't been told anything! ARGH! I'm ticked. Beyond ticked. I ask for a Supervisor and boy was that a mistake. The rep that I got was DUMB DUMB DUMB! I find out that the work that was supposed to have been done the day before has not been done, and they have to put a new address in their system so that we can have service. Hello? Have I not been telling every rep that I talk to that IT'S A GUEST HOUSE FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND YOU'RE JUST NOW FIGURING THIS OUT? I ask when I can expect to see someone out here to take care of things. He say she doesn't know but that he will find out and let me know. I tell the rep in the nicest tone I can that I will hold while he finds out. He states that that's not possible that he'll call me back. I then relay my days experience yet again emphasizing my lack of faith in their company and receiving that phone call as I haven't received one as promised all day. I then inform him that I'm not ignorant and know it's possible to put me on hold and call to get the information I need. I again advise that I will hold. I'm asked if the number on file is a good number, they confirm the number and try to disconnect. I repeat my self as politely as any human being in my situation. The rep then repeats the phone number business. Apparently this person has completed learning English since coming from wherever it is they come from so I yell! I am not hanging up and you are not terminating this phone call until I have the information that I want. I will hold on while you call dispatch. I know this is possible so make it happen. Apparently he got it this time. So I hold and am told that they Will be out to that next day to see what needs to be done. I state that they need to note for the tech to speak with me. They said that they couldn't guarantee what the tech would do. Well yelling worked before. I yell that he is to note my account that the tech is to speak with the customer prior to leaving. Well he got it and I hung up. The next day a SUPER NICE tech comes out and installs the tap. My service is installed the following Monday and here I am! It's insanely slow, they're getting a call about that, and I'm trying to figure out why I have to have a Digital box to get the same channels we get in the living room without a box. AND NOTHING MORE. But that's another blog!

That's all for now!

Wordless Wednesday

Just too cute!

Changes Galore!

This year has been about changes so far. I'll try to get through them ass quickly as possible so as to keep your brain from oozing out of your ears.

My son's father and I have decided to give it another go, and so far things are great. Really just settling in and getting used to all the quirky things I'd learned to ignore but must learn again.

We've moved from the Houston area to Longview which means me changing jobs, Chad transferring, and Grayson changing schools. Grayson is going into his 3rd week at his new school and he's loving it. Chad is working the same job and hating it, but taking the steps to get a better job, as well as his GED and college. I'm really proud of him. I'm still doing the school thing and looking for a job.

I had a promising interview on Thursday. The interviewer told me that he had one more interview that day and while he wanted to hire me he had to at least extend the courtesy. Really made it sound like I had it. Said that he would be letting everyone know something by the end of the day. I spoke with the recruiter I'm working with and she said that they still haven't heard anything so we shall see. I'm not stopping the search by any means.

Other then that everything else is the same. Just happy and loving life. I've got a ton of pics to get uploaded and as I have them ready I'll do just that! For all of my Houston peeps out there I miss and love you! I promise once things level out here I'll be back. Just try and keep me away. To my new and few peeps here in Longview, hello and welcome to the insanity that can be my life!

:D
