Prev/Next "No, It's a vicious lie!" |
July 15, 2010 - 10:32 p.m. Hey Journal! Welcome to Day 1 without connection to the outside world... again! Cablevision
is so insane. Today they told us that we needed to get a box to receive all the
channels we have been getting, although we have have a Tivo with Cable cards for
years. Why are their representatives so misinformed! They are either
misinformed, or lying. I'm not sure which... but it seems like they lie about a
lot of things, so I wouldn't be surprised. Work today was good.... I had a little incident on the way to work, though.
There was no traffic, and I was moving along, and very happy that I would be
early to work, and then I was stopped at the exit ramp of the Northern State. I
was waiting for Deer Park Avenue to be clear so I could go out, and BAM, this
lady hits me from behind. Yes, it's exactly what I did two years ago to someone
else. I was only pissed that now I would have to DEAL with this, not so much
that it happened. I merged onto the road, and then drove slowly, and pulled
over. (In the same spot where the kid pulled over when it happened to me.) I
waited, and never saw any sign of the mini-van! There really is nowhere else to
go once you get off except to turn left and get BACK ON the parkway. So, I assume since she never passed by, that she decided to do a little
hit-and-run, but I wasn't totally upset with that. I was kinda happy not to
have to deal with it. I got out of the car, and saw that there was zero damage
to my car, and as far as I was concerned, even if she had stopped, I would have
said we should just part ways. However, it's better that she didn't cause then
I didn't have to exchange insurance information or anything else. I did call
the police, though, because I figured I should file a report in case SHE said I
didn't stop or something! Alas, work was good, we got the CPC DVDs today, round 1, the Korean version, and
I went to the Post Office to get stamps! Unfortunately it costs 81 cents to
mail each piece, and the Post Office has no 81 cent stamp! Instead, I had to
get a 61 and two 10s! They didn't have the stamps on hand at Wheatley Heights,
so I went to Farmingdale instead. When I got back, Karen and I went to town putting the stamps on, and getting
everything ready to mail! I left at about 4:45 to bring them all to the Post Office!
I was also on the phone trying to figure out the problem with the restaurant
printers for a while today. Still, they were unable to come up with any
solution. :( When I got home, I waited for Dan, and then we went out to dinner at
Branchinelli's. There was quite a line, but we got taken sooner because we only
had two people. I got the Baked Ziti! It was really good. We got back home, and we went out for a walk around the block, and then I took
as shower, and now it's already time for bed! I'd better get to sleep! Goodnight. :)
