Good morning all, yes we did get everything moved to our new location on Saturday. Most furniture is where it belongs, but we have dozens of boxes that need unpacking, and a bunch that won't get touched for a while yet. This place is about 50% bigger than the temporary apartment that we were in, and just about right for us now that we've downsized.
We were suppose to have TV, phone and Internet, but the phones didn't work and after four phone calls, they sent someone out yesterday. The TV guy said he couldn't make it until Sunday, but then he never showed up. I fooled them, and found that the satellite was already hooked up to one room, and so I ran another cable to the other room, so we can wait him out as long as he wants. The problem is that they have charged us for the hookup and I've done all the work so far. Probably, the most frustrating part of the move was calling CenturyLink and working though their automatic service trying to get the phone connected. It took about 10-15 minutes each time, just to get through their, "press 1 for this and 2 for that" barrage. I had to do that four different times, and they knew I was upset by the time I got to talk to a human, who were not much more help that those robots. One woman told me that it would be connected by 5:00, I told her that they were a bit late since it was almost 6:00 at the time. She then transferred me to the "service department", that responded that they were, "closed for the day". The bigger a company gets, the worse things like this get....
Anyway, I'm back, kinda, and settled...not really, not for a long while...
