I am really loving having
my own Internet account. I have the account with Xfinity are more
casually Comcast. I don't know if I'm stupid though there seems to be
a great deal of speculation that I certainly might be but I am going
to ride the wave for a bit just so I can enjoy having burning fast
Internet connections. Around the first of the week I got a
notification in the mail from Comcast X indicating I still owed them
about $17 which is okay. This is what was left over after the process
of beginning the system which is more money than I want to talk about
here if there is a saving grace it's the fact that the pile of money
at the beginning was, supposedly, one time costs. The bill was
gracious enough to allow me to skate and tell 10 May for some
ludicrous date. However I felt it was just wise to go ahead and pay
the installation and swallow the bitter pill. I do indeed love not
having to go upstairs to post items like this entry.
In trying to be
conscientious I called Comcast this morning as I begin the bill
paying process. I figured I would pay what was owed with my debit
card. After all, I'm not sure what the going rate of the stamp is
right now but I know I can use to $.32 stamps which I have an
abundance and get the document mailed. I just didn't want to use up
one of my counter checks that I'm using right now for rent and my
home care.I must admit things are beginning to get a little
uncomfortable in the finance department. I'm still okay – – I
hope – – but the lump sum I been operating off of his be getting
to dwindle to the point of concern. I'm okay for a number of months I
believe until we can figure out what's can happen with the house. It
took me a minute or two to go through the check-in process with
Comcast you know when to talk about the call may be monitored, who
did I want to talk to our what was my call about, in the be sure I
had my account number. When I finally got through to a human being
the headset I was using was beginning to wear out energy wise so I
had to quickly figure out how to get the speakerphone operational on
my cell phone. I never did figure that out and opted to hold the
phone next to my ear the trolleys in such a bad deal and I should do
it more help when you've got a perfectly good cell phone headpiece
it's a shame not to use it. We did our vocal dance and the sucker
punch came when I informed the person I was talking to that I wanted
to pay my bill with my debit card. She was more than happy to assist
with my payment. She did however states that I should be aware that
if I were to use my debit card that I would also be charged $5.52 for
a usage fee of the debit card. What a crock! I'm sure I'm going to
double lambda anyway on my debit card why should I be burned even
more because I chose to use the debit card and really the girl on the
other and the lines just going to punch a couple keys on her keyboard
and that's it. Five bucks almost 6 for not what a scam. So of course
I told her to discontinue the project and that I would go ahead and
send in a check via snail mail and call it good. She was okay with
that of course I wouldn't she be? It is no sweat off her nose.
So the next 20 minutes I
spent in finding the pen that I want to use, finding the actual bill
and then finally my counter checksin finding a place to write out the
check. I was surprised that I actually still had the envelope that
came with the invoice. Totally amazing. For one reason or another I
cannot get my hands on one of my forever stamps so I used to buy
Marilyn Monroe's which are $.32 stamps. I think a stamp is about $.45
now I'm not sure so two of these 32 centrs should do it. I even used
one of the return labels I made that I use for the girls letters
everyone so I didn't have to fill out the return address. I was
relieved when I dropped the document in the mailbox at the front of
the building done. As always concluding my call with the Comcast girl
I asked to them how much would be my next bill, my regular bill. She
said $50! For some reason I thought it would be much less once again
I will spend the weekend with buyers remorse.
