Home Sweet Home Pittsfield Maine

Well, it looks like we got the loan to purchase are house in Pittsfield, Maine. Its a nice house a new englander. Well, we got a loan to do some improvements on it as well so new siding/windows outside stairs, basement windows/fixing foundation but all is well its a sweet house with a nice lot of land so its going to be kewl. Though i have to sacrifice Internet connection nd probably go with time Warner cable which I can’t stand but I can get 10mbit cable so I should be alright as i have 15mbit DSL now which isn’t bad but its just going to suck to go down by 5mbit. But oh well have to sacrifice for the new house its going to be kewl.

A day in the life at t-mobile

Well, I went into work to find out one of my friends last week is no longer working the only thing that management/supervisor to respect his privacy not to say anything that he is no longer and they couldn’t give us a reason. Well…. Later speaking I understand why but its quite interesting how the process of people one day are at work and the next they aren’t. It is quite depressing sometimes that at work our group is like a small family however ever since Kevin are supervisor broke up are family has been hurt abit. With people leaving and not having a supervisor to replace Kevin its been quite tough. I got one of my lower ranked calls since Ive been at t-mobile. Now I’m not going to blame all the crap going on as to why my call sucked but it just has been abit hard. Thank god their is going to be a realignment in August and we get to pick our shifts again in July. I’m hoping to go back with my former supervisor if he gets a shift Monday - Friday as I do not want to work weekends. Though with this poor score who knows whats going to happen with my ranking in the call center. But oh well life is life at t-mobile.

Wonderful Day

Well, today at work its been a crazy day they launched this new tool today which well, made my life a bit more harder . LOL i’m used to do thing especially typing memos and notes while speaking witha customer however this new tool is suppose to speed up the process well…. LOL , I was hitting my head against the wall with this new tool today. Its going to take a while to get used to the new tool but oh well things should be okay. Got to adapt or change that’s the way life is. Still playing GTA IV took a break as I do not want to get sick of the game I want to continue to update you on new things in my life and to keep you updated on other things. Well we got a new house well its still pending filed paperwork today with the loan peeps. We purchased a nice house in pittsfield, Maine very beautiful property needs some work but that will be included in the loan we got. We were pre approved for a loan just waiting for all the paperwork to go through and will own the house or so *Cough* paying the bank off officially on July 17th. So can’t wait to have our own house as this is the first house we ever owned . We always rented and its nice to have a place you can call your own and pretty much do whatever you want. Anyways ta ta for now I’ll update you on anything new.

GTA IV

Sorry, I haven’t been on line in a bit to update with you. I got GTA IV and i’m really addicted to the game its like crack between the language jobs. Man I feel like a freak when I play it just makes me want to kill cops and rob banks and smoke crack LOL, jk. I know all of you anti video game violent type people do not like games like this but I have been playing games like this for years and I haven’t turned out to be a psycho, Im a productive member of society. Though my principal said I would probably end up in jail when i was younger. But being fat and picked up and treated like utter shit by your peers because they were all a bunch of ignorant assholes whose parents were the same well, who can blame me for being angry when I was in school but anyways I was a good kid just mistaken and was blamed for everything

Crazy Week At Work

Sorry , haven’t gotten back to any of you came into work Monday to find out that I’m average a 2.34 now Which means i got a score of like 2 plus a 2.75 which sucks for me 2 is the lowest score I have ever gotten working for t-mobile. But anyways their are going to be bad days at work. Its interesting not have Kevin around my coach/supervisor they are not replacing our coach as realignment is suppose to be in August so they are making us shorting us a coach. Today was absolutely crappy this weak started off crappy. Hopefully things will get better

Wasted Day

Well, I live with my folks temporarily because my dad moved up here and dosen’t make enough my parents decided finally since my dads job is final that they were going to get a house. Now they were all talking that they wanted my help to share the rent for the first year or so and that we would split bills for the time being. We were looking at places we found a couple of good places however the first place we looked at that we liked went on contract the day we saw it so it sucked couldn’t put a bid down by then. Now their was a second house we looked at pretty good I liked it as a backup however friday my dad saw this house. The house has absestos sideing its an old country house dosen’t have a shower actually have to put a shower in this place it needs some work it has old fuse pannel and he likes it. My parents so liked it they wanted to show me to get my opinion because I was going to move out with them and stuff so they wanted my opinion. I didn’t like the house for the fact that A: I would have to change ISP’s even though I have issues with GWI id have to pay more and sacrifice less speed to get time warner cable. So now I will have 3 seperate bills, Dish Network,Time Warner cable which I mean its quite annoying. I could just get time warner cable but however their cable is so dam expensive for the same channels its ridiculous. B: The siding eventually will have to be replaced its going to cost my parents an arm and a leg and they don’t have the money to put that out. C: They have to spend 250 dollars to get a shower installed on the property as it has an old fashioned bath tub which I could live with. Their are allot of cosmetic things that need to be done with the house but oh well. I wouldn’t be upset with this as I don’t have to live with them which I am probably not going to now as its going to cost me more money to live out their anyways but what is upsetting is that my parents wanted my opinions that’s why they woke me up at 10:30am as i had a late night and arranged a special showing of the house for me. They already made up their minds about the place it was quite pointless for me to go their that is what ticks me off really. If they wanted the property go for it I just won’t move in I don’t have to as hehehe I’m grown and lived out on my own I was only doing it as a favor so that the first year would have been easier on them but oh well. It just upsets me that I wasted a trip out their and I know I’m selfish abit as this is my parents house their first house but if they already made up their mind it was a wasted day for me. But oh well I do wish them all the luck now I just have to go find my own place now so apartment hunting for myself again which will be nice to live on my own again.

Hit and run caught on tape in Hartford Connecticut

HOLY SHIT, I know this is old news but OH MY GOD. How can you hit a person and just drive away fromt eh scene. I know the guy was in the street but still it shows you how America is these days. People don’t care about people. They just go on their business. I know the gentleman was in the street but hay Ive been on that street before its on park street in Hartford, Ct. In fact I used to live near their and used to walk around their all the time. I think its horrible that no one came to his aide got down on their knee’s and  checked out to see if he was okay. I would of been the first person to see if he was okay.. However I am like that I cannot just let anyone lay helpless and possibly dead. I know people probably called 911 but still that’s the easy way out of it. Where is humanity these days we are all a bunch of selfish Neanderthals. It makes me angry but hey if you know any info please contact the Hartford Police Department. Here is the video the incident

Verizon Wireless Puchased Alltel

This is great, verizon actually purchased one of our competitors are smaller competitors more of a regional phone company as they had about 13 million customers. Now they are part of verizon. Its quite amusing that I remember getting calls from folks wanting to switch to alltel and canceling because our plans or our phones were too expensive or they had better offers. Now they are going to be combined with one of the most expensive mobile phone companies in America with rate plans that bleed your wallets dry. Its quite funny as before I worked for t-mobile and I have been with t-mobile for 2 years I did have verizon and one of my main complaints with verizon is their lack of customer support. Also their rate plans and fee’s kept coming out of no where and of course they made mistakes but they didn’t want to admit to them . Though funny thing is I then went to sprint/nextel which was worse but now I have t-mobile. Now you might say he works for t-mobile I am biased and I get cheap phone service. Well yes about cheap phone service but even if I didnt’ work for t-mobile I rather have t-mobile because atleast t-mobile works with their customers and treats them like human. I like to be treated like a human being not a number. And as far as coverage goes I have perfect coverage no matter where I go. And the places I dont’ have coverage no carrier has coverage  and  I live in Maine. The funny thing as far as coverage goes we can compete with verizon as we have just as much coverage we always a close 2nd being verizon when it comes to coverage . And as far as dropped calls we average about the same with the other larger carriers and this is not propaganda you can read about this in all the consumer reports out their. T-mobile is the best value for your money.

GWI.NET Filters Port 25

I just had an argument with my current ISP. They infromed me that I can only use their servers to send out email. I pay my monthly service charges however because i’m not a business customer I cannot get it unfiltered because I cannot get a static IP. I am absolutely pissed off at this. I had ATT-SNET/COMCAST I was able to speak with them to get port 25 unfiltered for me and they were able to do so. I spoke to the tier 2 tech he told me that their is no way to do that to unfilter just my connection. LOL their are rules they can filter in to make it possible but they won’t I spoke to his supervisor told me that “He’s been here 6 years and its not possible” He then put me on a brief hold said that his sysadmin told him that its not possible and we are not going to change policy. I asked him if their is osmeone I could write a letter to or speak to to get this changed. He told me its not going to change. First of all I do not need a static IP. The lines in maine are so crappy and that verizon or whoever owns the lines won’t repair them that i get out of sync atleast once a day. I would never host anything at my house with such crappy lines. B: I don’t need a business line because I don’t use the bandwidth thats what I use my dedicated servers for. C: Its DOUBLE the cost of a residential service. I think GWI is trying to rip people off by  making people get a static IP to be able to get their services. Anyways to be the devil advocate I know that it prevents spam but generaly if a customer request spam to be unlocked they should be able to. GWI is a small company compared to  SBC and they can do it on a request basis

Time Warner Cable tries metering Internet use

OH MY GOD ……. Time Warner a crappy Internet provider is going to go metered. How interesting they are going to charge 1 dollar per gb after going over your allotted quota. Wow this is starting to feel like Australia. Not that I have anything against Australia. I know quite a few kewl peeps from their and the women are hot ;-) and their sexeh accents. Anyways cable companies have been charging outrageous prices for a very long time and they blame the rising costs on infrastructure upgrades and also government costs taxes etc etc etc. Of course its all bullshit because they have been developing such an OLD technology for ages now. Cable modems have been around for such a long time and haven’t changed that much. Speeds have increased the way data is transferred might have changed but the same technology has been around. Anyways good luck to all those on time Warner the sad thing is if this goes gold every ISP in the nation will move to metered access and here we go. Now if they are going to go to metered access then they need to take off the caps on their data pipes if their going to charge per gb of going over their quota. That would be a trade off to quota’s no caps for quotas. but oh well if you want to read more here is the link YAHOO
