I HATE VONAGE
So, I have been unemployed since October. It's rough out there, but companies like Vonage are making it worse for the unemployed. I was having major DSL problems and had to disconnect my DSL. No DSL means no VoIP. Well, because I was canceling service before my year contract was up (and who knew I was signing a year contract? The tiny print did, that's who), Vonage wanted to charge me a cancellation fee of $40, cost of the device ($80), and taxes. WHAAAA? I am UNEMPLOYED. Vonage thinks that cheapskates who sign up for their $24/mo hoax can afford a cancellation fee of $130+? I AM UNEMPLOYED. Total insanity, especially in today's marketplace.
So I declare war with Vonage. I may be an unemployed PR exec, but I am going to be Vonage's worst nightmare. Why? I am an unemployed PR exec with lots of social media skills and TIME ON HER HANDS.

obsession
My friend Frob looked at my blog recently and quietly noted that I pretty much only write about pets and food.
SO? I don't think that's a PROBLEM. No problem here!

cravings
2 thoughts: I can't get enough of Amy's Bread's chocolate sticks. Essentially a focaccia like breadstick with bits of good chocolate in it. so good. so good.
and google reader - too addictive. I tend to get overwhelmed by the amount of posts from other sites. I am not sure if I can handle checking g-reader every 5 minutes. If I don't check every 5 minutes, I end up with 100 posts to read at the end of the day.

what's that sound?
i just heard thunder. and if I could see more than the building across the alley, I probably would have seen lightning. But of course that building blocks all light so that would be impossible.
