Suckage. The internet has gone down 3 times in 2 days. Each time I’ve managed to get it back up again by power-cycling the modem and the router. This morning, nothing would work. I plugged the modem directly into my computer and it worked. Ok, so it’s the router. The thing is almost 7 years old. So I hooked up a new router. Took a bit, but ( Read more... )

Working in the shop this morning/afternoon to help out. IL’s are in MA for the week and SIL had to head down to Falls Church for a call. So I’m here, working GH and answering the phone and helping people when they come in. I don’t mind helping out, but I don’t like trying to help people when I don’t have a clue as to what I’m doing. I’m not the ( Read more... )

I guess it’s about time I sit down and update this thing.

I’ve had plenty to say, but most of it’s just gripeing about junk that’s going on, nothing really positive. I’m sure most of you are tired of hearing me complain about things.

Got quotes from Geico, Progressive, and Allstate.  Allstate was almost $300/mo for the same coverage we have right now, Geico was about the same, but had some cheaper options but wasn’t the same coverage.  Progressive didn’t even offer the same coverage we have now.

So I guess we’ll be sticking to what we have.  I really can’t believe that the ( Read more... )

I can never get enough money to stop struggling.  I got a letter from our insurance (home/auto) company today, telling me about my rights regarding credit information on my policy.  Essentially they check my credit score in order to produce a “insurance score” which then determines my rate.  I’m sorry, but how on earth does that determine how safe ( Read more... )

I’ve had things that I’ve wanted to post, but since I haven’t posted in so long, I figured no one would understand what I was talking about!

So here’s a not so quick update…

I guess first things first, we moved.  Most of you are friends with me on Facebook and already know this.  We moved to Martinsburg, WV back at the end of October.  We still ( Read more... )

I decided last week that I wanted to cut my hours back at work, for several reasons.  First being so that I could get over this bronchitis that seems to be lingering and secondly because I’m too stressed.  Well I get a phone call Wednesday afternoon asking if I wouldn’t mind going full time at least through October because we’re extremely busy.  It ( Read more... )

I really need to update more often.  I keep telling myself that I’m going to, but when the time comes, I don’t feel like typing everything out.

Things are crappy right now.  It looks like we’re going to lose the house. We’re going to lose the house.   It sucks, but what can you do?  I’m only making 1/3 of what I was making, and that’s if I get 40 ( Read more... )

This is a long overdue update, I suppose. It’s really early, like 7a early. I’ve been up all night, trying to get in to audit mode as I have to work the shift Monday night.
( This got a bit long... )

Well, it’s been a while.  I’ve been reading and keeping up to date with everyone, just haven’t felt like posting.  Since I lost my job I haven’t felt like being on the computer much, it’s boring for me now.  Most days I don’t bother turning it on.  So I’ll do a quick recap of the last several weeks.

- Got a new job.  It’s not the greatest, but it ( Read more... )
