Direct TV Blows and I'm Stilllll In Alabama

So apparently the Direct TV at the house got shut off. I'm assuming it's because the bill hasn't been paid... And the reason the bill hasn't been paid is because they haven't sent me one. How the hell am I supposed to pay a bill if you don't notify me how much I owe you!? WTF?!

Zak called the other day and said the cable wasn't working. Seirously people?! It's hard enough to handle things when you're at home, let alone Alabama. And he can't do much about it because it's in my name.

I had received a few automated calls from Direct TV asking me to call them back during normal business hours. Those calls came in way later than their "normal business hours." If there's a problem with my account, how about one of you call me directly and let me know there's a problem so I can work to remedy it!? There's an interesting effing idea!

I'm a little pissy as well because I had to spend the weekend in Alabama. But most of you know that already because I've been bitching about it for a while now. Not only did I have to stay here all weekend, we worked all weekend... kind of the reason we stayed in town, but still. It's the last thing I wanted to do after being sick.

On that note, I'm finally feeling better, even though I'm still not 100%. Oh well, better than the way I felt last week. I shouldn't complain much though because poor Noelle has bronchitis, pneumonia and a sinus infection. She had to stay in bed on her 35th birthday... sad, huh?! Send good vibes her way. She needs them.

I get to come home tomorrow afternoon and I couldn't be more excited! I think Auri and Di and I are going to dinner and I can't wait. I haven't seen Di in a long time! Jessica told me not to make plans on Friday night, so I guess something fun is in store there. And to top it all off, I have a date on Saturday. Woo hoo!

Ok, enough bitching over here. I hope you guys all had a "funner" weekend than I did. It shouldn't have been hard! I promise I'll get the Vegas stuff together here soon. I just need some time to sit and sift through it all. Time that I obviously haven't had!

I worked all weekend. Next week should be better!

Oh that sucks! I have Direct TV, Dish Network and Time Warner Cable.

I don't get to watch tv too much, but I do enjoy it when I do. I would be so pissed if that happened!

Someone needs a smack from you!

Mr. Condescending said...

Direct tv sucks anyways!

Direct Tv has some of the worst costumer service ever. Most of the people who call you can not speak English. I had a man who clearly sounded like he was from Pakistan tell me his name was Brad Pitt. Yes, Brad Pitt! When I asked him where he was located he refused to tell me.

They have the worst billing practices ever as well. The computer and customer service will not have the same amount due.

Ms. Salti said...

SB - Yes, a date. Saturday... I can't wait. I'll give you details in private!

kate - Thus far, the week has been pretty good.

Mr. C - I'm all about smacking the assholes around.

BeautifulWreck - Seriously, they suck! I hope I never have to call them again for another problem.

Jaime - How was Sesame Street?

Saskia - Thanks... feeling pretty good now!

Kris - Having worked in Customer Service, it's even more infuriating when you can't get issues resolved quickly.

Kara - You'll get all the details from me, I promise... at least the ones that I'm able to share!

Captain - You should take SL on a date!
