Our RV Adventures

And what time is that?

It’s Pumpkin Spice time again.

So we’ve not only got Pumpkin Spice Creamer, Sugar-Free, of course.

But that’s just the start.

You’ve got Pumpkin Spice Mac N Cheese,

Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream,

to put on, what else, Pumpkin Pie. And, yes, there is pie under there.

And even Pumpkin Spice for your car.

Bet the exhaust smells really good, too.

And in these perilous times, what could go better with the WuFlu, but a whiff of Pumpkin Spice.

And of course to be doubly safe, finish up with Pumpkin Spice Hand Sanitizer.

We’ll as it turns out, after telling us that they knew the problem with our phone system at the office was our problem, SpectrumVOIP said that they would send someone out to look at it, but that since they ‘knew’ it was our problem, it was going to cost us.

The tech was coming from San Antonio?, and that there would be a trip charge of $150 each way, and a service charge of $55/hour including travel time. And when he got there about 2pm, he seemed to go out of his way to ‘not’ find the problem.

Killing time, maybe?

First he said that the phone system wasn’t getting an Internet signal, and so that was our problem. I told him that the DSL modem has Spectrum right there on it, and it also feeds our office system, and it was fine.

“Oh”, he said.

I kept telling him to look at his router in the office since it had no lights on it, and looked dead. And finally after he had eliminated everything that could possibly be our fault, he checked out his router.

“Oh”, he said. “It’s dead.” And when he picked it up, it actually kind of fell apart in his hand.

So he went out to his van, came back with a new router, and what do you know, we had phones again. And no outrageous charges since it was not our problem.

Thought For The Day:

Before you ask why someone hates you, ask yourself why you even care.
