call centers

So this week ever call center i could call i think i have called.

I spent about an hour on Friday night to save $15 and to get my free showtime back on after it got cut off last week with directv

Sunday i call back to directv because my cable box kept resetting every time i turned it back on. It takes over 6 mins. to re set so that was really annoying.

We have DSL Internet and it is the worst Internet ever.... it cuts out all of the time. So i call the att people about the Internet and of course they say it is a wireless issue and not their issue. so no help there

Monday i call to switch Liz's cell phone over to my account. I have tried doing this since before the wedding. so this was like my 5th call and it finally get it all done (after an hour). Well i go online to look at the account and att transferred someone elses number to my account. So i call back and they couldn't understand why i was mad or what was wrong. So i put the hammer down and made it very clear that i wasn't happy and i needed this resolved. So i get put on hold and transferred around and i finally get to someone. So i had to wait as they call the number that they put on my account and get that guy to verify that he wasn't me or something and then i had to re do the whole thing i did 4 hours earlier. HEAD ACHE!!!! i ask the lady what she is going to do for me to make me happy and she goes i will wave the $18 transfer fee. gee thanks... since it was waved the 1st time i called 4 hours ago. i ask for a new phone discount and she is no help. so i just tell her that she obviously doesn't want to make me happy or care about my time so just do what you have to do and get this call over with.

so you think that is all that has happened.... WRONG

i have a small loan on my car and i go to make a payment on it and i get locked out of that account because i failed a security question. so i have to go dig up the debit card they sent me and find 10 different numbers to get into that bank to make my car payment.

next on the list of call centers.... Bank of America.... they wont let me log into my account without changing my password and log in. so i go to do it and follow all of the rules they set for the password and log in. it would not work. so i click to chat with someone to help me. he gives me like five different temp passwords and none of them work, so now i have to go into a branch or call another 1800 number to get it fixed. if you are like me i try to have one log in and one password for everything but now i have like 20 because of all the banks and sites i deal with. I also do everything online and not being able to log in causes a huge problem.


sorry to vent but i have spent over 6 hours since Friday night with call/chat centers. what else can go wrong this week.

oh ya i took a picture of Liz on her first day of school so i will try to post it for you guys later....

an update for kim

Well Kim you wanted an update on our blog.....


Been pretty busy this week with working out, went on a date on Tuesday night, celebrated Bobby's 18th birthday in Ft Worth on Wednesday, went to happy hour last night followed up by a trip to IKEA and then we put together our IKEA purchase.

We got a TV stand and a coffee table. We decided to go cheap since we live in an one bedroom apartment on the third floor.

Tonight i have a personal training session (wish me luck), On Saturday we are going to our friend Andy's play in Dallas and Liz is getting ready to start work and school on Monday.


I also have two houses closing next Friday and two houses closing on September 12. So work will be busy for the next few weeks and then i am going to be pretty slow for the rest of the fall/winter. =(


Sorry i really don't have any funny stories or exciting news to tell you guys....

today is our last day at the resort which is a really sad day..... yesterday we went deep sea fishing and i caught a huge 90-100lbs sail fish. Liz and the other guy that went with us on the boat both got sick but Liz did manage to reel in two fish that were about 30lbs each. 

after the fishing (which got cut short due to the sea sickness) we decided to ride the ferry to Isla Mujeres a small island off the coast of Cancun. we rented gas powered Golf Carts and toured the whole island in about 2 hours with  stops at a light house, beach, cliffs, and a turtle farm. So that was pretty fun.... We finally got back to the resort where we had our honeymoon massages....

Yesterday was an exhausting day since it was the 1st day we actually did anything besides hang at the resort. 

we fly home tomorrow so i am sure i will chat with yall then....

Oh sweet MEXICO part dos

I wrote a long post about our travel story and it didnt save.... so i am just going give you some highlights


The resort we are staying at is absoultly amazing, last night for my birthday my wife planned a sunset dinner on the beach and the concigre decorated our room with balloons, towel animals, rose petals, a bottle of champange and a cake just for me... so that was pretty awesome.

Today we did our first of two spa treatments. Before the treatment you have to do this hour long hydrospa murine wellness treatment and they made us get in the coldest water i have ever been it right after the sanua.

Tomorrow Liz is going with me on a deep sea fishing trip... i dont think she really wants to go espessially since we have to be at the lobby at 6AM but i think she will enjoy it once we catch a big fish. After we get back from fishing we have another spa treatment and then dinner at the lobster house.


So i hope you guys are having fun in Texas and Oklahoma because we are really having an awesome time down here in mexico minus the 10lbs we have both put on...... thanks to all inclusive and 24 hr room service...
