I’ll Explain

Well, believe it or not, I’ve tried to blog several times.  And can you beleive that each of those times while I was writing and trying to insert some pictures, I just closed out the entire internet window because I was just frustrated WordPress wouldn’t work with me.

Blogging isn’t something that I normally think about.  Actually, when I first set this blog up, I thought about it all the time.  In fact, in many situation I would think, “That would make a great blog.”  I had so many ideas that I couldn’t keep up with them long enough to get to a computer and jot it down.  All these great ideas would come to me as I was out living life. 

So now I’m writing, WHILE I have a great idea, and also WHILE I’m frustrated with something.  Isn’t that the real time to write a blog, anyway?  Also, I’m not going to fiddle with any pictures.  I’ve tried that, and if I try to insert pictures I’ll end up closing the damn box.

My complaint is against large companies.  In particular, I’m going after electric companies, phone companies, really anything that has to do with someone taking my money who also happens to provide a necessary service.  It puts me in a compromising position because I need electricity and water.  Geez, I’m so 21st century.  I guess I don’t need my phone, but it sure makes life easier sometimes (yes, I use Google maps on my Palm Treo). 

These companies are so damn large that they don’t get anything right — ever!  I cannot think of a time when something went smoothly when I’ve moved.  There are those “set up” fees and all the other fees associated with a new account.  Geez!  But you can also have you fee waived if you can prove that you’ve been a good customer in the past.  So we did that, only to find out today that the new energy company did indeed get our good customer history, but it didn’t go to the right person.  It’s frustrating to have to deal with this, along with everything else because it’s always more money and we never (well, hardly ever) get a break.  I say hardly because we just go $11 back from Dish Network.  I’m glad for at least $11, but Dish Network sucks.

So that’s my rant right now.
