What a Week I'm Having!!...LOL


William's new comforter

The Culprit Area....LOL...Geez

Already!! I've returned from Crystal's. I went there to wait for the Cable Guy. I got there around 1:30 or so and he Finally shows up at 4:00pm....OK....long story short he was Still there when I left at 6:15pm. No Internet. He doesn't know why. Three router boxes later he gets some sort of signal. Somethings wrong. He reminded me, several times, that quitting time was 5:00pm...several times..."Can't you run a new cable directly to the house"?..."No".....Another Cable Guy shows up to help. First Cable Guy has a baseball game to get to....he'll be late...on and on. Crystal was also there. She came in the Nick of time. My Happy self was getting short on the old Fuse. My Emotional Tank was sitting on "low". Time for a refill...I grabbed William and off we go to play on the new Cars comforter I bought him. Sanity is restored. Crys said the first Cable Guy gave her his personal cell number. If she can't get it to work then there's something wrong elsewhere....Me? They would have stayed until the problem was resolved. We own a service company...We Do Not Leave until the problem is resolved. Did Someone mention Tequila??? Someone??...LOL....night all!!

I'm with you Miz Donna, a happy customer is a paying customer! Some of these service guys (not all mind you, but some) must not have ever been hungry else they'd be doing their very best to stay until the job was done!

I love William's new comforter. I especially love his critters he's got resting on it.

Brenda said...

Dawn said...

I would of been p*ssed off. It's not your fault that he got there at 4:30 and quittin' time would be 5:00. He would of stayed there until he was finished and has a signal. No ifs, ands, buts, about it. Can you tell that I have been around the block with my ISP?!?!?! LOL

I love William's comforter. How is he doing in the new house? Goodnight, sweetie. *HUGS*

Oh, how annoying when something's wrong with the computer or the internet! I know, I have tried it.
But sometimes such things happen.
I hope you soon will have it back as usual again.
I wish you a belssed day!:)

*Passes giant tequila sunrise over*

oOOH, maybe not the best idea at 7:35 in the morning? LOL!

I hate that what those guys did seems to be the norm these days. We had a cable guy come out a few years ago to install some cable and he left because there was "too much dog doo where I need to work". I was mortified and after he left I went out to check. In the ENTIRE area he was supposed to be? Two poops. LOL, unreal! It may have been yucky, but it's not like he would have been wading in it - I could have cleaned it up in less than a minute! Some people just don't want to work.

Now that you know my embarrassing cable story, I'll have to take that sunrise back ;)

Donna said...

Lille- We do to...We think it's the company tech office tha's having the problem...we'll see..Happy day Sweetie!!!hughugs


Christine-LOL...Oh my word...Yeah, he had something else to do...our guys just ask the homeowner to clear the area in which he needs to work, if it's not already done. Then he get to work...most of the time, they close their noses and just dive in..lolol...and sorry...already drank it!!LOL...Happy day sweetie!!hughugs

Carole said...

Donna, I love your sense of humor. At times like those, you need one, but we do need the internet, right? Love it. How can anyone NOT have a computer in their home. It's beyond me.
Carole

Donna said...

Carole-They're Wonderful if you can get the to work properly!!lol...Oh well, we'll get there..Happy day sweetie!!hughugs

Donna said...

LOL! Oh my goodness! I think I'd need a drink after that too! I've run into situations where you wonder if people are even qualified for the job they're doing.
Well, anyway, have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Donna

You know if I had to call the President of the company the darned thing would be fixed before they left. It would be a "who is your supervisor" night at my house till someone got off their butt and did their job...I'm with you...hey, I'll take rum with my coke...
