Just one of those nights...

So yesterday morning turned into yesterday night.... At about 2pm my internet goes down right in the middle of me trying to send a long email that I had typed about 90% of. Then my computer crashed. So all in all it probably wasn't the internets fault, but actually the computer, but at the moment I am hating Telus. So, right after that a man from Telus Mobility calls - did I mention I hate Telus, always have - he tells me that as of tonight both mine and my hubbies cell phones are going to be suspended. Ok you can take a lot of things away from me and I'm ok, but not my cell phone. It is like an extension of me, and I can't have an extension of me cut off or suspended. It's like someone tying up one of my legs and telling me not to use it till I pay some fee. That fee of course was about $120 dollars. Ok that seems a bit high to me, considering within the last month I have paid $385!!! So I tell the nice man, look this happened last month, and we found out we were being charged the minutes between the to cell phones - we have one of those shared/family plan things so this shouldn't happen. He transfers me over to this very nice lady in accounts, or something like that. She is now my new best friend!! So not only was I being charged for the minutes between cells phones - at a crazy rate of thirty-five cents a minute - but I have actually been paying for two separate lines. Well hello!!! What the hell is the point of having a shared account then. So every month I have been paying $40 extra for the second line instead of $15 and all the calls in-between phones. Grrrr... still hating Telus... loving the nice lady, but hating who she works for. She tells me to call back on Boxing Day or the day after so the people can sort through 4 months worth of calls, have fun with that Telus I talk a lot! So we get that sorted out. Then I drive to a little town in the middle of Alberta to pick up my cousin and her hubby who's car broke down. This wasn't really a bad thing it was just unexpected, and we were able to have a good chat on the way down about really important things like cats and should have Cindy given the cars to the other 4 on Survivor - you know, important stuff! Once we hit town we go out to dinner for my aunts birthday at Cheesecake Cafe, which has recently become one of my favorites. Not last night it wasn't. I ordered the ginger beef... something was WAY wrong with it. I've had it before, normally it's pretty good, last night... CRAP!! So I send it back, and they don't even ask me if I want to order something else. I'm thinking "Ok, I'll just sit here and what everyone else eat, great service!" (sarcasm is dripping off that one!) Luckily my family is nice, and they shared with me - thanks guys! Todd's meal was pretty cruddy too! 0-2 at Cheesecake last night. We drive home and it's about 10:30, three hours past Bright's bedtime. We get home, does he want to sleep... heck no! So I just left him there to chew on his toes till he fell asleep... I needed rest! Guess what time he got up again last night..... 4am!! Hopefully today is better, considering it is Christmas Eve... Santa had better be good to me this year.....

  • Even though I was there I still had a good laugh at you retelling this story. You must save these writings as you will enjoy rereading them one day. You have a great way of expressing yourself. Keep writing old gal.
