I Still Hate Time Warner!

So my cable has been out all week, and a tech was scheduled to come out tomorrow morning to find out what happened...or so I was told.

This morning I had a Dr's appt (Everything is fine, I had a physical a couple weeks ago and this was a follow up to go over my test results) at 930am so I was still getting ready at about 830am when the phone rang. It was the Time Warner Tech saying he would be here in about 15-20 min, surprised I tell him thats great but I was expecting him tomorrow morning. So I just blurt out nevermind I will take what I can get, please come now. Heck, when I went in for my physical I was left waiting for nearly 1 1/2hrs so they can wait on me for a change. :) Ironically I had on my to do list today to call Time Warner to confirm my appt with them for tomorrow morning since their track record with me is not good at all. They either dont show up or are always late and with the wrong equipment. :)

So in the mean time I take Gizmo out to do his business and turn on the TV so the guy can see clearly that I have no cable. About 15 min later, the cable pops on. So I run outside and find the guy and ask "Are you the Time Warner guy?" Which he replies yes, so I tell him the cable just popped on. So then he tells me what the problem was....apparently someone was out on Mon and when they went to put the cover back on their cable box thingy outside, they knocked my cable wire off. Easy fix but still upsets me that this could have all been resolved so easily without me having to be home waiting for a tech and could have been fixed within the first day!

I will post over the weekend about my Dr visit. :)
