TIME WARNER ROTS!

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT BECOME A CUSTOMER OF TIME WARNER CABLE, BASTARD COMPANY DELUXE!

having a really bad day over here with this most idiotic of companies.

did you know that if a twc emloyee gives you their personal extension it is IMPOSSIBLE to ever get to that extension by way of the main number they give you to call them?

did you know if you finally get someone on the fone that person is not allowed to transfer you to another extension?

Television sucks. Go dvd, radio, internet and books.

  • dvd, widescreen films, internet (including internet radio), vhs tapes, cds, vinyl, vinyl mixed onto audiocassette, (old) audiocassettes of live vinyl mix shows on radio, live music, art exhibits, books. tv only in bars or when visiting friends (and the occasional cable binge to know what everyone's talking about--binge generally includes copious helpings of Turner Classic Movies, Dragonball Z, and Animal Planet).

    • The Neilsen people called me late last night wanting me to be one of their Familes. The woman calling had a lovely alto voice; I could tell she was an actress of sorts and wasn't often hung up on. Everyone wants be a Neilsen family. So I let her explain about the booklet. Then she got to the first question. "How many televisons do you have in your home?"

      "Zero," I proudly replied.

      I could hear the laughter in her voice. "Unfortunately, sir, yoiu do need a television to participate in our survey."

      "So I expected."

      "Thank you for your time and have a good evening."

      "Good night."

    • Tom, you fibbed. You should have said: I have one TV but it's unplugged in a dark room about two miles from here, my friend Frank watches it telepathically. Mom's in town. I'll come by after I drop her at the Wingate.

I'm in agreement. I still have white cable strewn all over my house courtesy of the TWC gentlemen who hooked up my high speed connection. I called and complained like an old bitch and I did get three free months. It sort of helped, though I'm still sitting here draped in cable like a digital Mrs. Haversham.

Linda, perhaps you will find some mild consolation in the fact that I released America's most venomous reptile on the property of Chief Executive Captain Courageous himself , who hates TWC more than you. Maybe some pasty Satanist wiil get his ass bit on a nature hike.

yes, well, it may suck, but i'd gotten used to having it again after 8 years with no tv set. sunday cooking shows on channel thirteen (except the guy who is always cooking moroccan), simpsons, king of the hill, west wing and one or two that i'd rather not publicly admit to. with the humongo new tv wheel bought last week, we only get channel 9 now. (!)

the video stores in carroll gardens are less than stellar, so the rental idea is a bit bleak. and jim was looking forward to a little golf network next time he's over. sorry jim.

so you see how things are not going my way today.
