I used to really like when the cats would make those happy noises and show their claws. “See how happy you’ve made me?”

I just got off the phone with Century Link, and the guy was determined he was going to sell me a visit by a tech to install a phone jack in here for half-price, and that he could waive my first month’s bill thereby. I told him I had sent the equipment back the day after I got it and I should not have been charged. He then said he would waive my next month’s bill and I told him there won’t be a next month’s bill because I never used the equipment because there was no phone jack! Again. His next tactic was to warn me that if anyone was relying on my not-phone number to contact me, it was a bad idea to discontinue service. GAH! I told him no one even knew I was contemplating a landline. Round and round we went.

By the time I got off the phone with him my BP was through the ceiling and my voice was almost non existent. I have yet to call TDS, but I think I’ll save that for tomorrow.

And the Not-So-Epic Failure Lawn Guys are here. Two riding mowers. There are 24 apartments and one clubhouse, but so much more lawn than Espinoza had. I’m not happy with the trees, but at least they vacuum up the leaves once a week.

What a strange life this is in Hurricane Utah...

You do realize that you are perfectly within your rights to say, "We're done here, goodbye!" and then hangup before he can squawk. If he tries to call you back you just start with, "May I please speak to your supervisor before I have to contact the FCC?"
