On the impending move…

Posted by Aaron Springer on July 2, 2009 under Wogblog | Read the First Comment

We’re officially moving, folks. After two years in this great apartment (which we never really named), we have come to the conclusion that with only one income and with Katie’s student loans looming like a glacier above a city, it is time to look for cheaper digs. What does this mean to you, the blog, etc.?

Well, not much. We have two months to pack and get ready (or lease is up at the end of August) and I will try to post ahead and the like when we go through the Internet change.

I will also spend some time going through my journal and do some housecleaning when I take breaks from actual housecleaning. Yee hoo.

That being said, anyone have ideas about where we might look for a new place? We have one option thus far, and it is nice, but we like to keep our options open and stuff, ya know.

So, any ideas?

Earthlink, the final act

First, read this entry from October 20th, 2007.

Okay, all done?

Now, nearly two years later, the drama is over.

In the drama that (I thought!) had ended back then, Earthlink charged me late fees and paper invoice fees for a product I had never ordered, never received, did not want, and never even remotely ordered. It was an antivirus package that they tried to sell me for $5. Then, they charged me $1 per invoice for a paper invoice, and $1 per month I refused to pay it. The original charge was taken off without issue, but getting the initial $1 and all subsiquent monies off my bill was a hassle on the level of, say, clearing one’s credit or getting a job at a bank. In the end, Katie, my lovely wife, had to deal with them because I had turned red in the face and could barely speak because of the level of stupidity of their operators.

Today, there was a surprise in the mail. A seven dollar check, in an Earthlink envelope. There was no letter attached, and no indication on the check as to why they sent it, so I am assuming that, after two years, they are finally admitting that they were wrong, in their own way.

I feel like I have just been handed an apology by the Catholic Church for excommunicating my great-grandfather.
