http://www.qando.net/ - Comcast

But - and here’s the head-shaking part - the tech support rep told my wife that the people to whom she was sending the support problem frequently, perhaps even usually, don’t call back. So we should call Comcast back 48 hours later to remind them about it. Oh, and this probably happened because we upgraded our cable service. Also, we’re going to have to take back one of our two digital cable boxes because the upgrade we got isn’t working on it.

Comcast, of course, seems to think this is perfectly normal and we should do all the legwork to fix it ourselves.

We’ve arrived at this point by allowing into other parts of our lives previously ridiculous ideas. Grind my own coffee beans? And consider myself some kind of connoisseur for the trouble? And pay extra?

Meanwhile, here’s some 80s Limey commies doing some of the best music ever, if you dug that kind of thing, and I did. Many warehouse parties were driven by the faux worldbeat of these dudes. I fell for it, but I always wondered if SingerMan knew what the name, on what was surely nothing more than a silly hat to him, meant. I’m given to understand that baseball hats were very subversive in 80s GB. Not so much now, I hear. Heh, heh. Bentonville wins, again. Thanks, Chuckles…
