Today was a pretty good day off:

  • Slept in. Sleep GOOOD. :::handgesture:::
      Explanation: The GOOOD. :::handgesture::: comes from a Flash ‘toon that someone did on Camp Chaos. It’s become something of a running joke among a few of my friends.
  • Got up and did the hygiene rituals.
  • Took my car in for an oil change. Oil change GOOOD. :::handgesture:::
  • Went to lunch at Guru’s with Angie and Peggy – the coolest ex-gf in the world.
  • Went with Angie to help her find new work clothes… and wound up buying a couple of new outfits for myself, too.
  • Went to Barnes & Noble and got a couple of books, a magazine and a Café Mocha. Cafe Mocha GOOOD. :::handgesture:::
  • Came home and am currently vegging out.

Just another day in the land behind the Zion Curtain. I think that it will be a quiet night in.

::: Mary Lou Retton impression ::: “And another thing…”

I need to add an endnote to yestermorn’s Sprint meltdown. When I originally talked to Lisa, the friendly and helpful Sprint Broadband Customer Service Representative, she told me that when I got the MDU form faxed to her (AGAIN), that she would set up a new installation date and time for me… but that the earliest date that they had was on 11 Sept 01.

BRAINCRAMP

So, I went to the leasing office to refax the form and a memo to Lisa’s supervisor praising her professionalism and pleasant demeanor. It took three attempts to get the pages sent, but sent they were! An hour later, Lisa called me back to confirm that the form had arrived and to make the arrangements for installation. YES!!! Looks like I will have a high speed connection again on 05 Sept. Yep, Zero-Five, baby! Did I mention that Lisa was the greatest CSR ever?
Lisa GOOOD. :::handgesture:::
And so, it’s another waiting game. But, that’s fine. I’ve waited this long, another 2-1/2 weeks won’t kill me.

All this and Bowie at the BEEB will be on tomorrow. “Who could ask for anything more?”

It’s Siskotime. I had better bounce.

Peace.
