Ok, I'm not allowed to do anything else today because...
....It's been a hectic week and I decided that I wanted to cancel the delivery of my new satellite dish. I couldn't find the sheet with the order information on so I looked up the Dish Network phone number and figured I could cancel it through there.

After their inability to find my account I pretty much told the person that they were useless and their computers were not equipped to do anything more than to play solitaire. I tried calling back a second time to see if I got someone else who might have more of a clue and they were just as clueless and I was more pissy with them then the last person.

Then I found the order information.....


.....turns out I ordered DirecTV

:crazy:

Needless to say I just hung up.

I'm sick, I'm exhausted and it's been a long week. Do not allow me to operate heavy machinery for the rest of the weekend.

6. Ack!
Definitely a bummer! You must immediately call DirecTV now, cancel your order, apologize profusely to the people at Dish, and order from them as you should have originally.

DirecTV is evil.

And sleep on the mattress pad. Sometimes exhaustion is overwhelming. I've done it.

How are YOU? When did you get home? Sorry again for missing you guys Monday night. I felt awful.

7. I'm not calling either
DirecTv is cancelled and I'm too embarassed to call Dish network. I'll just deal with comcast for now.

And I'm too lazy to get out of my chair to walk to the bedroom to sleep.

Damn I'm pathetic!

13. Go with Dish though, not DirectTV
a) DirectTV is now another pawn in Murdoch's chess game
b) Dish has Free Speech TV
c) Dish is supposed to be getting Air America on one of it's digital music channels...

I've been enjoying my Dish a lot (got the HD setup in January, and life is good, although it's now time for me to get off my fat butt and start enjoying the spring which just hit this week here in Maine).
