I recently switched my Internet service to Time Warner cable Internet.  I noticed for the past few weeks that I have been getting a lot of “page not found” connection errors.  I thought it was the websites that I go to having issues.  Apparently it was Time Warner that had the problems.  This was rather annoying that the company did not reach out and let their consumers know about the Internet problem.  I eventually found that they reached out via Twitter (similar to Comcast) and left a long-winded reply about Time Warner cable Internet outage.  I got to get credit for the outage, but the customer rep gave me the runaround of “that office is closed”.  The rep also mentioned that I “won’t get credit until Time Warner solves their connection outage problem”.  How long is that going to take?

A group of us was asked to make a baby out of play-doh.  The person next to me decided to make a baby and what the baby does frequently.  If you don’t know, just hover your mouse cursor over the picture.

I got a letter from USC Marshall School of Business the other day.  THEY DID NOT USE AVERY 5160!  I am at a lost for words as to why letters don’t use Avery 5160.

Some people were wondering what the milk prices were at Costco.  Here are the prices for 2 gallons: whole milk was $3.89, reduced fat milk was $3.69, and fat free milk was $3.15.  This was as of yesterday.  If you were wondering, yes I shop at Costco every other day.
