I Hate Comcast!

I haven’t had cable TV in almost a week. It started acting up last week and I put in a call for them to fix it and now I’ve lost all channels. Something to do with the outside line needing to be replaced and could take up to 7 business days!!! Are you fucking kidding me? Its already been a week since it first started going all wonky and now you’re telling me it’s going to take another fucking 7 days to fix this shit. Unacceptable! I honestly believe Comcast is the devil and this further proves my theory. I swear to God, if they don’t fix this before the weekend I am going to go coco-bananas.

Instead of doing something productive like clean my kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom or reading up on some course packets for certifications for work

(I need to take 6 certifications and each course packet is over 60 pages long! I have to pass them all by April 10. I have not yet started even looking at this and have no idea how I’m going to pass. I still have no clue what my company even does; let alone how to use the damn product. Who cares about the history of BI -that’s Business Intelligence for those who aren’t in the know, and I’m clearly one of them. Ugh)

I decide to procrastinate in any way possible:

• I went to the gym to make up for last night’s disastrous attempt of running for 10 minutes, then walking for 5 minutes until I decided to throw in the towel and binge on ice cream at home. I actually should’ve stayed at the gym longer to watch some TV, but I think its frowned upon if you just stand on the treadmill watching the built-in screen on the machine.
• Ate my leftovers from lunch and an entire bag of potato chips. There goes the workout.
• Played with Mr. Weasley and brushed his hair. He could do for a nail trim, but I’m going to save that for tomorrow night.
• Myspaced for an hour looking up random people I went to high school with. I found a guy I used to date, and boy does he look rough. The years have not been nice. If I were to see him on the street now, I don’t think I would recognize him.
• Obsessively plucked my eyebrows. I’m starting to think I’m not doing a good job shaping them because every time I go get a mani or pedi, the lady always asks if I want my eyebrows waxed, and I always say no, but she keeps asking me “Are you sure?”
• Caught up on radio gossip by reading DCRTV. Even though I’m no longer in the industry, I still like to be in the know.
• Decided that I really do need to clean the apartment and made a note to self to clean the place.
• Added the frog tank to the list.
• Wished I could pick up the current book I’m reading, The Thirteenth Tale, but I’m at a part where there could be a ghost story and am deathly afraid of ghosts and knew that if I started to read it, would not be able to sleep at all tonight and do not want to break the streak of sleeping peacefully throughout the night.
• Talked myself out of having a bowl of ice cream and settled on three strawberries.

I’m in a desperate state of mind. I seriously don’t watch that much TV anymore, but I just like to have it on the background when I’m doing other things. I like the noise it creates; it makes it feel like other people are around and hides the fact that I’m sitting here all alone. It also cuts out the noise from the other apartments and I don’t have to hear my Korean neighbors singing karaoke (actually, I never heard them do that, but Best Friend Ever has). If I don’t have TV back by Saturday, you better believe heads will roll.
