Are all the Rules Of Chaos still in effect for the GOP House?

Can any one person still cause an ejection?
It seems like they should fix that sooner.

Trolling AT&T

The Mrs and I got new phones this week, and I needed to activate them. Should have been easy- right?

Well, we went to the local AT&T store where the lone employee stopped his tik-tok surf long enough to tell us that because we bought our devices from the web site and not this store, company policy forbid him from helping us. Nice. Company policy totally blows chunks. So we went home and I started the upgrade on her phone.

After many hours, I got all the data transferred from our old devices to the new ones and I even got my new phone to activate. However, her phone refused to activate. After spending 2 1/2 hours (yes!) on the phone with four different levels of tech support, they finally got her phone to work. At one point I was tired enough of the requests to power cycle the device that I mentioned perhaps the issue could be fixed if she restarted the entire data center at headquarters. She laughed, appreciating my humor.

Goodbye to Clannad

I just left Clannad's concert here in Seattle. It was their closing show for their final tour. It was a great time, many wonderful songs, lots of fun variations on old favorites.

I have no songs to share, just great memories.
