Ahman...did I have the morning from Heck, or what?

I called Cox yesterday to find out what the hours were for the office closest to me and was told “0800 to 1800,” so I planned my errands around that, thinking I could get everything done by taking the bus at 0740 and getting home around 1040. Right.

I got to Cox to find it locked, with hours on it of “0900 to 1700.” I looked in the door and saw a cleaning woman, so I took the cable box out of my backpack, knocked on the glass door and showed it to her, then showed her I was setting it down by the doors.

Then I went across the street to to bus stop and called Cox. Don’t you know the gal was trying to give me a guilt trip about it? I said, “Ohno! First of all, if I hadn’t been given misinformation about the hours of this store, it wouldn’t have happened. Second of all I can no long afford the mega bucks for the ‘only $20 more a month’ that suckered me in in the first place. That $20 has gone to $48 and I can no long afford it.”

Then she tried to talk me into “bundling my home phone, TV, and internet service for $90 a month total.” Why would I want a home phone when I can’t afford anything but basic cable?

Anyway, back on the bus, different driver, and went to Wally World. Left there and got the same female driver I had earlier. I had to ask her to kneel the bus again. She made me wait in the cold wind until she walked the bus and gathered up the trash.

Just before my stop for home is a RR crossing, which they have to stop for and open to the doors, which she did. Then drove right past my stop. I said, “Aren’t you going to stop?” “Well! If you want on or off the bus, you have to push the buttion.” Me: I DID push the button. Her: I didn’t hear it. Me: If you would have been paying attention, you would have heard it. It’s also displayed on your dashboard.

She let me off at the next stop and I had to walk uphill, in the icy wind for 20 miles! Through the snow and ice!

Now that I’ve had three calamities in one day, I’m good for another three or four years! LOL!
