Happy Tuesday Morning

[Cleo]

It can't time to get up yet…
Still dealing with this cold but feeling much better. Nothing like morning cold meds hangover and phone calls from the phone company just as I'm tying to open my eyes.

Yesterday I get my phone bill and it has a $80 charge on it for fixing my phone line last month after a tech and mistakenly discounted the phone line going to my house.

After the first tech reconnected my phone back up people who called me got someone's fax machine so a second tech had to come out and found that I had two live lines coming into my house so he disconnected the extra one and all was good.

So the phone company bills me for the second call claiming that the problem was with my internal wiring. I called them and the person that I spoke with refused to remove the charge still claiming that it was my fault that my lines were crossed despite the fact that I only have one phone line and do not own a fax machine. So I ask for their supervisor and am told the same thing so I then ask for the supervisor's supervisor who then tells me that I will need to talk to the tech who came out to my house the second time.

So this morning that tech calls me and says he doesn't understand why I'm being billed since the trouble was outside my house so now I'm waiting for another call from the phone company's business office. Nothing like trying to talk to a phone tech first thing in the morning before morning espresso.

At this point it isn't even about the money I'm just pissed that I'm being billed for something that clearly wasn't my fault.

Anyway I'm awake now and going to go to a BBQ that Angel is having this afternoon. The singer Pepper is in town staying with Angel like she always does and having what is usually a fairly large party at Angel's place. It's another fucking absolutely beautiful day here perfect for a BBG pool party.


Second pot of espresso is now being served.
