WELCOME TO THE
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
Making a quick stop to check in before people start showing up.
Looks like we're in for a beautiful day.
Mild enough so that we turned our a/c off for the day.
Got financial reports again today.
They're supposed to be every two weeks,
but lately it feels like every other day.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

To: Kathy in Alaska
Comcast sent me the wrong box, and I spent most of the day on the phone with several tech support people (all young and with strong accents) trying to get the thing to work.
Without exception they all spoke DOWN to me as if I were a mentally challenged child.
After about an hour, I finally said:
“LOOK...I HAVE INSTALLED TWO COMPUTERS IN MY HOME, AS WELL AS DESIGNED, ASSEMBLED, REROUTED, DISASSEMBLED AND REASSEMBLED AN ENTIRE 16 TRACK DIGITAL RECORDING STUDIO IN MY HOME. I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW IMPEDANCE CABLING, COAXIAL, RCA, PHONE PLUGS AND XLR CONNECTORS. I MAKE MY OWN AUDIO CDS AND MARKET THEM ON THE INTERNET. STOP TREATING ME LIKE AN IDIOT! YOU GUYS SENT ME THE WRONG DIGITAL CONVERTER AND IT IS NOT WHAT I PAY FOR EVERY MONTH, SO EITHER SEND ME THE CORRECT BOX WITH ALL THE FEATURES I AM PAYING FOR OR DISCONNECT MY SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!”
I think I finally got through to him. (sigh)
