One thing you should know about me is I excel at cutting my nose off my face as long as I feel like it is the right thing to do based on my principles.
I went to the Spectrum store and I was my usual nice self. The sales girl said she told me there would be a charge and a new phone line and I say she did not because I would never have taken on more monthly bills right now. The manager was a young guy with a long
beard that was not very well-groomed. (I love beards but his needed attention). Oh well, back to the story.
He said he would not waive the $50 fee. I told him I could not believe he would lose the sale of a $1,280 dollar phone and a customer that pays $157 a month for cable, phone, and internet over a $50 restocking charge. He said it did not matter and he would not waive it. I asked him if he realized how asinine he sounded but I appreciated his coming out to talk to me. I got the Spectrum number that I needed to call to return the phone and get a refund. They would not do it there, they said I had to take it to FedEx. Sheesh.
I left there and went to Verizon and a very nice employee gave me a quote on a new plan. I hate that it is going to cost $80 a month for a single cell phone plan but they are going to give me $1000 on trade-in which is better than Spectrum offered. They were only going to give me $688.
Tonight I a checking around at different phone companies and checking on the internet. Verizon does not offer it at my address. Darn. I am checking the others that I have heard of but no luck so far.
My aunt's granddaughter spent the night and day with her. I have called three times today to check on her and the granddaughter says my aunt is feeling better but the meds the doctor gave her make her sleepy. I imagine sleep is the best for her and I hope she is much better tomorrow. My cousin said she was feeling marginally better be still pretty sick. I offered to bring her some soup and crackers and some Gingerale but she said she was okay. So far, I am still feeling fine and still hoping I will not come down with it.
After all that, I went to the gym to walk off my frustration. I did not have my gym bag so I had to walk without my earbuds and fan. I got my steps in but boy was it hot in there. I love that little fan. I will never walk on the treadmill again without it.
Well, that was my exciting day. Sorry, y'all had to read so much again. Big hug to everyone. Hope you have a great Tuesday.
