Mobile Phone Jugleing

So I got really pissed with AT&T wireless Monday and changed my pricing plan. I cut my costs per month in half. There seems to be a problem near my house. They said they knew about it, but had no ETA on fixing it. I saw no reason for paying $100 a month for unlimited cell phone usage when I only used 400 minutes on it last month. I changed to the $50 plan with 700 minutes.

I also beefed up my verizon wireless plan to 800 min a month. I got a new promotion so I had to sign a contract for another year, but I was probibly going to stay with them anyway. The service is rock solid. I also got a deal on a new phone when I renewed. I got a Motorola T720. People at work have them and like them. As much as I want to keep using AT&T I will use verizon for a while since the service is much better.

i cannot wait until number portability in november. Then I can take my sweet and easy to remember AT&T number and switch it to verizon.

And yes I have 2 cell phone contracts. I had 3, but just canceled my T-Mobile account since I haven’t used it since April. Since I don’t have a home phone I wanted 2 phones. in case I have problems with one (like I am having). I also kept one for work and one for personal, but it is turning out that work calls me however they can if they need me. Enough technology ranting. I am off to bed.

the “official” move day

Today I officially took over my new apartment. My sister came over in the morning to help me move my wall unit. It worked out ok. The unit is perfect where it is now. I just don’t know if we can move it again. Every time I move it I fell it will fall apart and not go back together. Thank fully morgan slept through all the hammering. Man babies can sleep!

I waited all afternoon for the cable guy. It sucked, but I had company. My sister went to work out and I got to play with morgan. Watching a baby is weird. The smallest things make them happy, and the smallest problem will set them off crying. She was great until she got hungry. I had a good time. Wait, waiting for the cable guy sucked, but spending time with Morgan was good.

Finally after 4pm I had the Time Warner guy show up. At least I got a shift supervisor who knew what was going on. He was really cool, and I got a good insight to the Time Warner network operations. AKA what I can get away with and what I cannot. I figured most of it out before, but I got some good pointers from this guy. Once he was done everything worked great.

I had some problems with my wireless LAN. My mac kept dropping the network. I upgraded my Linksys router to the final 802.11g specs. it came with a new firmware update that I just ran. Now things seem ok. I am sitting in my comfy pier one chair sitting in my bed room. I am able to surf the web, and write this blog with the access point on the other side of the apartment. So far so good.

I went to dinner with my parents tonight. I was home when they went, so I went along. Recently I have not been getting home from work early enough for me to join them. I want to make time to do it at least once a week, but it hasn’t been shaping up that I am able to do that. We shall see how things go after kingston is launched.

I also did some food shopping. I needed to stock my new fridge. I got some stuff, but I want to wait to place a big order with freshdirect to get the rest of the stuff I need.

If you haven’t guessed already since my cable was down, this blog and my website was also down since friday night. It is back online and hopefully will stay that way.

Well the day off to move is about over. I am getting ready for bed. I am tired. I am back to work tomorrow.

Monday was busy

Work was busy. I did tests of our notification system. I started to get a migraine during our management meeting and took two furiset’s. Thankfully the migraine didn’t materialize. So much going on at home with the move I don’t have time to go into detail about todays work.
