catscradle Feb. 15th, 2002 09:32 am)Okay, I'm super sick of people today already and it's only 9:30. First I get a student screaming at me because his instructor changed the dates of his class. Like this is my fault. So I give him the number and e-mail to contact so he can get a full refund, and he's still bitching at me because I can't refund him the money myself. He's screaming at the top of his lungs, Why can't you see it from my perspective???? Guy, get a grip and let me help you. Damn, people.
Okay, and then I call my credit card people to pay a bill. Lo and behold, there is a $262 charge from prodigy on there. The cancel my account due to what they considered inappropriate material, then they charged me a cancelation fee for breaking contract. Well, I thought no. The inappropriate material was, not porn as some of you may be thinking, but a list of alternate media souces for people to go to other than the mainstream biased accounts after September 11th. Yes folks, I was being unAmerican. I dared to think for myself, which in the past few months, I've noticed, is a far greater crime than it used to be. So after 30 minutes of bitching with them, they not only recredited my account, but reinstated the website. We'll see in the next few days what happens.
So, the next question is, am I addicted to the internet. I know about 5 years ago that would have been a whopping YES, but I've mellowed with age:
