The NY Times has an article about shorts at work. Apparently they are ‘in’, or something. I call bullshit. I’m not that fashionable, but I doubt it will ever be desirable to look like Pinocchio at work.

I have long been considering joining the Comcast Haters club, but now consider me an official member.
It’s not bad enough that I have to pay these jerks almost $200 a freaking month, (not to mention the other $120 bucks my fiance pays) and that my service goes out all the time, (modem failed, weak signal, both in the past month) but do I really have to deal with their shoddy, rude and incompetent customer service people too?
Me: “My channels were out for days at a time because of the weak signal. Can I get a service credit?”
Anthony in the South Bay Comcast office: “There’s no refunds for that. You don’t have a work order for that.”
Me: “Can I speak with your manager?”
Anthony in the South Bay Comcast office: “There’s no manager.”
Me: “Really? I find that hard to believe”
Anthony in the South Bay Comcast office: “Well, there might be one wandering around… no, he’s not here right now.”
WTF, Comcast. You really do suck, as the internet well knows:Check out a Google search for [Comcast sucks]. Or join the Comcast haters group on Facebook.
Oh, and your commercials suck too. Really badly.
Update: After emailing comcast-cares (see comments) I was refunded for an entire month’s service. Thanks, Comcast. You gotta respect that they’re trying, even though some of their front-line customer service reps are still pretty bad.
Audrey (my niece) and her friends worked on a school project that looked like this:
Then she and her friends made a poster explaining what they did. Very well explained, but their spelling could use some work.
