Happy Tuesday?
May 27, 2008
I hope everyone had a happy Memorial Day weekend!
I’m back and honestly, a little sad about it. It seems like Monday saved all its wrath and handed it off to Tuesday. Missed my train this morning because we were pulled over for being a few miles over the speed limit [ARGH!], got a cryptic call from MaDucky about the bank and money, found that my internet service has increased another $4 per month. *sigh* And of course, that’d be the one service I had on automatic billing to my credit card, so I had to research the bills that I’d been paying over the past several months to prepare for another lengthy phone call. $22/month still isn’t bad compared to the other services out there, but I don’t like having the price increased on me without warning, and at their whim.
I did manage to convince the cable company to discount my bill 50% for poor service. If I want to cancel early, it’ll cost approximately $40 in rebate penalties. I’m still thinking about it, though, because I have three months left in our contract. Pay $40 now to save $80? Of course, the $40 is for the privilege of cancelling and not for another month’s service, but it’d probably still be worth it.
UGH! I hate cable companies!
~savingdiva~ You’re telling me! Now I’m on the phone with my internet company ….
