Sneaky Peg

Yesterday after I was told that I was not important enough by Verizon to have them get here quickly I had a light bulb moment.
I decided that I would just move my internet service to my business line.
When this was first configured as I mentioned to you all before this was not allowed because one was copper (phone) and the internet was a fiber optic line.  But they told me yesterday they do allow that to be bundled now. 

So sneaky me called them back and asked if I could please move my internet to my business line. They said, "Sure we can have someone out there tomorrow." 
Oh my God is what I wanted to scream into the receiver but I refrained until I hung up.
So the secret to being important is to be a business.
Then she asked if I wanted to get FIOS TV while they were here.
I wanted to laugh and say to her, "hell no!" But instead I told her I was very happy with my Satellite provider and programming. Thankfully she stopped pushing.  I can't even imagine being down for 10 days with no TV and then being told I was not important enough for them to come out quickly.  I'd have a real mess on my hands. Rick would either hurt someone or his head would explode all over the place.

So this morning they were out here at 10am to move the residental internet to my office phone line and with that I got email back and internet at 11:46a.m. today. Viola.

I know this is confusing but bottom line....I have phones, email and internet back.

I did have to laugh when the technician told me that he had a ticket number for me for reference.  I asked, "Isn't a ticket number for a problem to be resolved?" 
He stated it was indeed. Oh no not again is what came to mind of course.
He told me that with the change to our email account there may be a hiccup and if there is to call Verizon and give them this ticket number and they will get it resolved.

I think I am going to be delusional or a glass half full gal on this topic.  I want to believe this ticket number was given to me just in case because I have had so many problems this week but I will never ever need it.  Oh that makes me laugh just typing it.

In other news.....
The weather - honestly it's crazy. Poor Australia is having floods, cyclones and oppressive heat all in various areas of their country. 

Here in America the midwest, the northeast and even the south are all miserably cold with tons of snow.
I am thankful we did not get any more snow. We got freezing temps.  Walking Izzy today has not been fun.  Windy enough to blow me over and only 14 degrees. But the sun is out and Izzy thinks it's perfect as she sleeps outside on top of the snow on the deck.  Goofy dog.

Now I have to figure out how to fix this damn template......I think I need a geeky boyfriend who can help me with such things.  Rick is the MacGyver of the tool belt set but this is not his forte.
