How Tweet It Is

Everybody hates paying their cable bill right?

I have been wondering for quite some time when we all agreed that paying $100 for television and $100 (or more) for cell phone service was a "necessity".

Last Fall our cable service switched from one service provider that was doing the job in a decent manner for a decent price to a new company that had no prior knowledge of the field, they just "wanted to buy a cable company". That was a quote from our local paper.

The changeover did not go smoothly.

We had no service (television or internet) for over a week.

Then when it was restored our channel menu didn't work, which meant our DVR service didn't work. Which is annoying. But no big deal.

Then they didn't send us a bill for three months.

Finally they got in order and the bill was for over $550.

Due immediately.

At Christmas.

I don't think so.

I tried to sweet talk them.

I tried to "Consumerist" them.

I tried to tell them I was going to get a satellite dish.

I cut back my services and they offered me a $15 discount-which they never actually gave to me.

Nothing worked.

I've spent the last three months painfully paying off this bill.

Yesterday on Twitter, someone I was following mentioned that they were "at my cable company's office".

I replied "Let them know that I hate them-kay?"

He started direct messaging me to find out why.

Turns out he was able to help-because he is the customer services senior rep.

I just follow him on his personal account and I didn't know it.

My bill just got slashed everybody!

BOOYAH TWITTER.

What God has Brought Together, Let No Form of Social Media Put Asunder...

I know more than a few people who would do this...

Yep, I'm a Twitterer

Have you noticed my new little button on the right side of my blog?

These are my twitter updates!
I have been a twitter skeptic for quite some time now, but only because of friends that have abused their tweets syncing with facebook and have confused job tweets with funny tweets and then dominate my world with them.

If none of that make sense to you...stop reading now.
You can just follow along on the right side of my blog if you don't want to join Twitter!

Any updates I make during the day will be synced here. This is seeming super annoying and self-serving. I know it. But it is really fun, especially to read my other friends tweets and to read oh say...the Pioneer Woman, Lance Armstrong, Perez Hilton, NPR, Robin Plemmons and Spooner (both of whom never fail to disappoint) as well as Dooce.

It is a good time. In my oh-so-fake fantasy blog world that I am loving.

What is happening to my life?
Also, it is fun to find out when sales and others things are going on with retailers and other businesses.
You have heard about it other places. You are now hearing an endorsement from me. It's great fun.
