The internet sucks….
Life as I see it June 19th, 2009Oh gosh… Did I say that out loud? I’m so sorry internet Gods. I didn’t mean it. What I meant to say is AT&T sucks. Yeah, that’s it. Please don’t smite me with more internet outages… I promise I will never talk evil about you again!!
So yeah, AT&T has been really sucking lately. So bad that Adam and I have started keeping track of our outages so when we do move to another company we can tell them we want money back for the time we had no internet.
Oh, and did I mention that since we only have one router coming to our house that feeds both internet and cable TV that when the internet is out, cable is out too??? That is how much we are not liking AT&T right now. I now know what cave people went through with no TV or internet. Sure, they didn’t have electricity as a whole, but TV and internet??? That has to be more important than lights, refrigerators, and running water, right??? No? Just me thinking that, huh? Gee, thanks for backing me up on that!
So, I have started the painful task of moving my email to GMail. Yes, my friends Koree & Eric were right YEARS ago to not have an email address tied to an internet provider. I know. You were right. You may gloat in your awesomeness now. Are you done now? Good, I’ll continue my rantings…
I say it is a painful task only because I am newsletter, mailing list, coupon site Queen. Adam gets such a kick out of going to a restaurant or somewhere that says “sign up for our mailing list today!” Because he knows I will sign up. So, that means I get about 40 “Hey! We are having a sale or some other crap to tell you so you will buy our stuff” emails a day. And, I love it! I like seeing new products. I like getting the email that says “Only 1000 people will get a sample of our new product, don’t you want to give all your personal data to get it??”!
So, it usually takes me at least two months to fully move all my emails over. Because some of these places aren’t hustling themselves out every other day, it might take a month or two to get all of them in so I can go to the website and either say I changed addresses or, for other bad sites, unsubscribe as this email address and subscribe again with that email address. Those websites are dumb. Just thought I would say it, cause I know you were all thinking it anyway.
SOOOOOOO>>>>> What this all means is, my new email address is manello410@gmail.com. I will be sending an email too so those that aren’t cool like you reading this first will be on the band wagon of my awesomeness. I mean, will be able to get in touch with me too.

Well, since it is 574.12 degrees outside, I choose to stay in air conditioning, thank you very much.
