Verizon is the worst company ever to deal with

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

I hate Verizon. HATE THEM. You know all the drama that was going on with his dad claiming fraud on the account and stuff? Well first they told me I need an ID from him to prove that he was authorizing this along with a letter. I told them I couldn’t get an ID but would a notarized letter work? The girl told me yes it would so he sent me that and well I faxed it to them this morning and lo and behold the fax isn’t good enough. They want the original with a raised seal (it’s NOT raised, it’s stamped) and proof that he didn’t get incarcerated until this account was set up. I obviously cannot do this being that he was incarcerated in NOVEMBER. So, I’m basically screwed here and the account is null and void until he gets released in November. Not only that but when I tried to explain to the represntative what was going on she’s like I’m not discussing this any further with you. You have the information you need and hung up on me. Since when is it acceptable to HANG UP on a customer? I wish I could hit her with the many Men’s Drivers available. She could use a golf club right to her head. GOD! I cannot believe the nerve of this company. I might have to just buy a new phone and get added to my mother’s account but it irks me because I paid for this phone and now i cannot even USE it. It’s absolute BULL is what it is. Once the contract is up I’m SO switching to someone else with better customer service.

More wedding planning and titanium or silver or gold wedding bands

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

We did a crapload of wedding planning last night and it’s still over a year away! We decided on June 20th as the date though. Colors are lilac and white and we found the bridesmaid dresses, my dress that I’m in love with, where we’re having it, the food we’re having, my ring has been picked out, and we know who is going to be in the wedding party and approximately how many people are going to be invited. We still need to get some input from Randy like whether he’d want a titanium wedding band or a silver or gold one. I honestly have no clue. He’s kinda leaving everything up to me though because he wants it to be exactly how I imagined it. I find it to be quite cute actually. Stacy is really jumping on this deal and my mom even got into it a bit. My sister is all about doing everyone’s hair and makeup for it as well. I’m quite overwhelmed to be honest because this is all new to me. I’ve never been into any of this so I’m getting a lot of help from everyone who has been through this. Now we need to make sure Randy gets home in November and we can really get things underway.

Grow lights to begin the garden makes for nice results

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

During the spring and summer my dad spends HOURS in the garden doing everything from the planting to weeding to tilling the ground to make it loose for planting. He even gets fertilizer from the farm to make things grow better. Sometimes he’ll just sit out there in his little sanctuary. All month long my mom has bought various plants and seeds for him to get his itch going. I think some that she’s got are watermelon, corn, potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, lettuce, other kinds of squash, peppers.. god knows what else. He’s a nut when it comes to them and often we have tons of stuff at the end of the season we can’t even eat because the quantity is so large. I’ve heard that in greenhouses they use high pressure sodium lights to make things grow faster but I think even if my dad had the option he’d stick with his method of using natural sunlight and all that good stuff. Why take away his enjoyment you know? Granted he plants at work for weeks since they’re doing all the corn right now but whatever floats his boat.

Commerical lighting might keep me awake tonight

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

I have to work tonight. In a way it’s good and in a way it’s not. Making money is good and so is an easy job with some awesome coworkers. I seriously love my supervisor and Sam who works the front desk. It’s just us 3 at night and I love it. We can all relate and get along so well. However with being sick and not sleeping it’s going to be rough to stay awake. I usually keep the lights off an just see by the bright commercial lighting we have outside but my likelihood of staying awake is a lot better with a bright little booth. I just like the darkness because it allows me to see the reflections of headlights for both the exit and entrances. I’ll live though. I’ll probably play the sims all night long again. I’ve been working on the TSR challenges lately and actually completed 2 in the past 2 days. Not too shabby. I need to get the EPs before I finish though otherwise I’ll have nothing to do. I’m working Fri-Mon this week and PRAYING I get some day next weekend off so I can go and see Randy. My check is going to be big on Friday too so I can afford it. I know I’ve said it before but we NEED this. It’s been way too long and those of you in love know how hard it is to be apart for any length of time, especially in circumstances such as ours.

These meds might be impacting me negatively and I need satellite internet

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

I started on my Lexapro on Monday I think and since then things are… odd to say the least. Maybe it’s just one of those mental deals but I’m having issues sleeping (been up all night long) and I think my anxiety is getting somewhat WORSE. Not to mention I don’t want to eat at all because I get nauseated but if I don’t then I have hunger pains. It’s odd. I’m gonna give it the rest of the month to see if maybe it’s just my body adjusting to it but if not we’ll have to see about getting on something else. I also need to see about getting that sleep aid that my insurance covers from him so I can stop dealing with this crap. It’s not working in my favor especially since I’m sick and have been for 16 days now. Maybe sitting online night and day isn’t helping me any but what can a person do ya know? I’ve been downloading a lot and my ISP is complete crap. I wish I could get something like 2 way satellite internet that doesn’t block ports that my ISP refuses to open. Living in the boonies is crap sometimes.

I’ve also got mad chills and am shivering right now and it’s not even really cold in here. ARGH. What is WRONG with me?
