This a re-print of a rather amusing rant what I believe to be written by one of Jessica’s old co-workers at SuddenLink. While it relates mostly to cable operator support, I think all support personnel will get a laugh. To end-users, perhaps you can learn something from this.

We started an aquarium! I intended to tell all about it, but it’s getting too close to bedtime where Jessica and I watch TV together before we turn the lights out. I’ll edit this soon… Well, the story I would have told, and the one that represents what we have now are two separate things. [...]

What’s better than successfully buying your first house? Getting a “Congratulations!” card in the mail from your parents with a $50 gift card to Lowe’s inside!

I received the keys to my new house at the title company last Thursday. What an exciting feeling! Gary, a co-worker and true friend, helped haul the large items with his 16-foot trailer. It only took a few hours to move those items, but my puny muscles were aching long before that.

Today was Jessica’s birthday! Yesterday, her birthday flowers arrived at her office, and this morning I surprised her with her new jewelry box. I’m so happy to have her, and I sure enjoyed celebrating this special day with her.
