ksmithI gave Comcast cable a few days to settle, and waited until today to cancel AT&T DSL. I tried earlier today, sat on various forms of hold for an hour, and wound up getting bumped over to DSL Tech Support even though I hadn't called DSL Tech Support. That was one of the more annoying aspects of dealing with AT&T--no matter which customer service number I called, I have always wound up being bumped to DSL Tech Support or Customer Service, who would then proceed to tell me that they couldn't help me and I needed to call another number...which was more often than not the number I called...except that I got bumped because AT&T kicks all their DSL customers into the DSL phone maze even if they've called about phone service.
So DSL Tech Support kicked me over to the department that handles cancellations...at which point I was disconnected. I just called now, and after 15 minutes on hold, got through. I even let the email address go, even though I could've kept it for $4.95/month. Hell with it. I'll need to change my contact info with a few places...but I'll also eliminate a lot of spam.
I will be soo glad to have AT&T out of my life.
After giving the utensil drawer a thorough going-over, I finally broke down and bought some decent knives. JA Henckels. Decent German stainless, with the blades that go the the end of the triple bolted handles. I noticed the difference.
Dinner. I cut up some chicken breasts and added them to a fry pan, along with some olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano. After the chicken cooked, I added some of it to the leftover marinara/artichoke/mushroom sauce, and served it over bowtie pasta. Plenty of leftovers. I'm doing my best to stay away from junk food/fast food/Lean Cuisine 7 nights a week. The stuff you make yourself really does taste better. I just need to get out of the habit of using every pot and pan I own to make one meal. My hands are already dry from washing dishes.
Revised page proofs arrived Friday. I haven't dug into them to any great extent. Here's hoping...
