L.A. Fitness (follow up)

Good job LA Fitness.  Since my last follow-up blog in Feb of this year, you have finally done the amazing and incredible feat of repairing one of the water coolers.  I use the word repairing only because I can't think of anything more appropriate than having some idiot finally put the plug in the outlet so there can be cold water. Well Glory Be assholes at L A Fitness.......Someone rose to the occasion after months and months of a simple little thing like not plugging in the little cord that makes the water cold......How about that Sport Fans ??????

Company

I was originally going to write about company and what a real pain in the ass it is. Sure, it's great for a day or two and then it seems to go to shit.  We all have friends and family that we have visited or have visited us.  Please don't think that I am a scrooge or a jerk, but I don't like company that stays for more than a day or two.  Naturally, if it's a good looking, sexy female, all bets are off.  But I am really wondering if most people are really like me ?  Company is a pain in the ass for the most part.

      The above however, is the part that is not the most part.  I love one on one visits. I really do not care for more than that.  It just seems that guests all have the same thing in common. They use more fucking towels then if they were staying at a hotel.  They make more of a mess then if they were at their own home.  And they need to be entertained on an hourly basis.

      I have to be honest and admit that when my best friend and his wife come to visit they are the general exception to my rule. But truth be told, they never stay for more than one or two nights, although they could stay forever because they are wonderful.  But again, I don't think there are many people like them.

       I also know that some of the women that have spent some time with me are worse than anything you can imagine.  Somehow, however, the better built and better looking they are seems to minimize the perils of their usually sloppy ways.   The other problem is that I am very clean and neat and sometimes I even make myself nuts with how anal I am.
       Fuck, I don't even know what I am talking about anymore.  I am sounding like one of those extremely shallow people that lets things slide if they are having good sex and simply learn to ignore all the other crap that goes with it.

      Maybe it's just the fact that Easter and Passover are almost here and I have no-one visiting me. Maybe I am a little sad about that, or maybe I am just thrilled to death about that. I admire some people I know that love company. They simply live to have company and do it often and well.  I am certainly not one of them

     Some company is wonderful and will always be wonderful. Some company is torture and will always be torture.  I think the fun is putting your friends and family into one of those categories.  Oh, By the way ?????????????   What Category are You In ????

Unwelcome Guests ?

Company, Talk and News Show guests, I am going to be in your neighborhood guests, Sleepover girl or boy friend guests,  neighbors noisy guests, and other shit.  Think about your unwelcome guests and lets see if we are on the same page ?  But not until tonight.

My Buddies @ Comcast

Comcast really sucks. Comcast is the worst. Comcast has some of the biggest idiots in the US working for them.  OK, so now your getting to know how I really feel about Comcast. The irony of this whole thing is that if I ever tried to make up some of this, it would never compare to the facts.
       Anyway, the following is all true and as accurate as I can recall.

         About a week ago I realized that my Wi Fi in my apartment was not strong enough to run my I Pad.  I had the I Pad checked at the Apple Store, and realized that it was working fine there.  I got home and did some research and discovered that I had a wireless router connected to my cable modem that is several years old.  It was time for an all  in one wireless modem that would increase the signal.  I knew that was an easy fix, and didn't give it a second thought.

      How Fucking Wrong Was I ????????????
      So Friday morning I take my old router back to the local Comcast office to upgrade to a new wireless router. After waiting on line for almost an hour this nice lady explains to me that mine is very old (2years) and they don't make them anymore as there is a new Gateway wireless modem that is now being used by Comcast.  Wonderful...........The next sentence out of her is simply that they are out of stock in the office I was at and she advised me to go to another location where she said there were plenty in stock.
     I am fine with that and certainly realize things like this do happen.  I can't get to the other location until Saturday, so I simply forget about it for the balance of the day.....Saturday morning I get up early so as to be one of the first people at the other office I was going to.  I get there and lo and behold. Another fucking line. This time I only have to wait about 30 minutes.  But I am ready. I am armed with my old router and my current Comcast modem that I pay a monthly fee for.  I hand this to the nice man and ask him to please let me have one of the new Gateway wireless modems....Now I know I am home free...........UNTIL........he looks at me and tells me that he can't give me one because I have to call service and they need to send a servicemen to install it.  How damn difficult can this be. But again, I am at a loss because the idiot from the day before never bothered to tell this to me.

         So there I am driving back home and getting  a little more pissed by the second.  I get in the door and decide that was a perfect time to call Comcast.  Well, I was lucky because I only had to stay on the phone 15 minutes to hold for some other Comcast agent.  I explain my tale of woe and I am told there would be a $100 service charge for this other service person to come and install it. This is strange because I know it is a 5 second set up.....She goes on and on and finally gets the price down to $30.00 which is still 30 too much.. And or course she can't make an appointment until Thursday morning. (why fucking rush).
       Here is the deal. I know something will fuck up this coming appointment. I also have this very strange feeling that it will probably be some nice repair guy who will say to me, " Why didn't you pick one of these up yourself and install it in a few seconds instead of paying this $100 set up charge" ?
