The thing about jury duty

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:23:34 -0400

is that at least half of this juror pool reeks of either cigarettes or booze or both.

A conversation with Comcast

Thu, 23 May 2013 22:21:00 -0400

[10 p.m.]

Chris: Thank you for visiting Comcast. What questions can I answer for you today?

You: Chris- I am unhappy with my service

Chris: Please wait while a secure chat connection is established.

You: I just tried calling the 1-800 number and it was closed.

You: We get awful service- it goes in and out, no matter how many times we call Comcast. Our internet is spotty and slow. And after I just paid $110 for this, I realized it’s not worth it.

You: It’s an outrageous amount of money for a poor quality product.

You: Please let me know if there is any way to reduce my monthly bill. I am considering switching to another provider.

Chris: Just to set the right expectation, I would be happy to help you upgrade or add services online today. To discuss lower priced options, please call our Customer Service Team at 1-800-COMCAST (1-800-266-2278) for more information. They will be able to access your account information and see what options are available to you.

You: This is typical service that I expect from Comcast. I don’t know of any other large company that does not provide 24-hour service options. But, Chris, I will call tomorrow and ask them to help me with my complaint and dissatisfaction.

You: For the amount you charge, I would think you could pay one person to staff the phones at night.

You: Thanks for your help, and I”m sorry to take out my frustrations on you.

Chris: I understand your frustrations.

Chris: Are there any questions that I can answer for you today?

Chris: How are things coming along?

You: awful. have a good night/morning.

Honestly- what is this shit? ”How are things coming along?” What is wrong with everyone? Why does Comcast suck SO much? What an absurd waste of money. I should have asked him what his real name was.

Mama & baby.

Today smelled like caterpillars.

It is a smell & time of year I dread.

Plan B.

Tue, 21 May 2013 21:50:00 -0400

It’s hard to have a Plan B when you don’t really have a Plan A.

I’m living this life right now. I’m not talking about unexpected unprotected or pills or babies or anything else. Just regular old life plans.

Wouldn't it be nice

If you could wear jeans and flip flops to work every day. If brown rice and white rice tasted the same. If the amount you put in always correlated to the amount you got out. If getting older didn’t mean people moving away. If flowers and manicures lasted just a little bit longer. If above-you neighbors weren’t allowed to play video games with the bass on. If white t-shirts stayed really really white no matter how many times you wore them?

Seafood Melissa.

Fri, 17 May 2013 22:58:15 -0400

Chris and I went out to dinner recently at a not un-nice place. I got the specialty (supposedly)* which was a dish called Seafood Melissa. Pan fried fish, crab cakes, crabmeat stuffed shrimp, scallops- you get the point. It was good while eating it, but the rest of the night was filled with gassy trips to the bathroom. For both of us. Including Chris, who had approximately 1 bite of Seafood Melissa.

Since then, we have referred to the grossness that follows over eating or over indulging as some form of Seafood Melissa. e.g.: “Ugh I think they gave me Seafood Melissa by accident” or “I got Seafood Melissa-d.”

All of this is to say….I am in a vulnerable state of Seafood Melissa right now.

*the worst possible thing a waitress could do when you ask her to recommend her favorite dish or the most popular item on the menu is to list 1/2 to 3/4 of the menu. No street cred, homegirl.
