Bread Line? Not For Me, Thx

Bread Line? Not For Me, Thx

In case you didn’t know or hadn’t heard, I was downsized on March 4. Yep, no full-time job at the moment. But that’s okay. (Your sentiment is still appreciated, however.) The last two weeks have been quite the flurry of activity. Basically, hit up all my contacts – and surprisingly to me, I have a …

For those not interested in my gaming news, I’ve got you covered… Lately at WeLoveDC, I’ve been doing some excellent interviews with some pretty cool people. First up was Carrie Milbank from the Hockey Show on NHL.com. She’s pretty awesome, though I had to keep the questions related to the Caps. That was hard to …

I was blessed to have the opportunity to interview Carrie Milbank for our WLDC site. She’s pretty awesome, even if she’s a secret Caps fan. (I kid – she’s like me in the sense that she likes any good hockey game, regardless of who’s playing. Except when it’s the Rangers – I draw the line …

Update? Never

Post something regarding BattleTech, see site hits blow through the roof. Post on something OTHER than that universe? Tank city, baby. It’s okay, it only confirms what I’ve known since birth: the goings-on in my life are pretty unimportant to everyone else. The internet LIES! It said if we blogged about all our inanity, we’d …

My photo, taken this past Monday on my way back from a blogger’s meeting at the Science Club in Dupont Circle, was selected as DCist’s “Photo of the Day.” Needless to say, I’m pretty pumped for the accolade.

FIOS installed. Rate confirmed. Though the installers were two hours late, I was up and connected by 2 p.m. And they did a nice and clean job on the installation, so I can’t complain there. I will be writing a follow-up letter to Mr. CEO, however. I can’t help but think that if the “peon” …

Verizon Update, part 2

After some long back-and-forth and multiple phone calls (and retelling the entire saga at least three more times), it has been decided I am worthy for FIOS at an equal rate, with an additional three months reduction (of about 50%) plus free installation. And when told the earliest install date was Oct 15, the nice …

So according to one department, my DSL is connected and functioning. Yet I can’t connect to the internet. After some digging by the tech people, it’s discovered that no, actually, there’s no DSL order attached to my line. I need to call sales to ‘add’ the order. Which I’d done back at the beginning of …
