important lessons in street smart life.
iTunes is spinning: Maroon 5-"Harder To Breath"ok so today i learned some really important lessons.
Lesson one: airmiles screw-age
-i finally logged onto my airmiles account online and found out that i actually have 95 airmiles! wowee!. ok. so then i thought a ticket to the zoo was 40 airmiles (or last year more so it was 40 airmiles). however, in the year 2004 airmiles decided to raise the bar to 75 airmiles for a ticket to the zoo. that's ONE admission, almost double last year's point. bah. so now ive' got to wokr harder for more airmiles. but also on the goal, a trip to disneyland number of points needed=2782. thanks for coming out, it's been swell
Lesson two: rogers screw-age
-so this morning i decided to call rogers up and inquire about the trade in or "upgrade' as they call it phone thing. when your two year contract with rogers comes to and end they usually have some dealio or rather to keep you staying with them. ok so i call the 1800 number and get some chick on the phone who won't let me get into my rogers account because it was under my sisters name and i didn't know her postal code and she said that my sister has to call in and put me on as an authorized user who can make changes to the phoen account. bah! ok so i hang up and sidetrack to call my sister in vanny (this was around 9am she was not impressed she's a sleepy slug who lieks to sleep in until 4), however, she woke up to do the deed by calling the 1 800 number again and adding my name on, then she proceeded to call me back with her postal code so i can get in to verify that we are indeed the ones who hold the acccount. ok. so i figured everything was okay, so i go into a rogers store and ask about 
the upgrade stuff. the phone i want re:left, the Motorola V220, is still 199 after trading my old phone in, and i still have to sign up for a 2 year contract. ok. um. this makes NO sense. 199! and i'm suppose to be some so called 'valued' customer of rogers. blashphemy. so then they rogers dude helping me out suggest that i call rogers and tell them that i'm unhappy and is considering leaving rogers ass because even my trade in for a new phone cost so much, and that sometimes they'll give you a discount to keep you with them being suckered into another two years of contract. so then i go home and call the number _again_. lady asks for my name gives it to her, asks for my postal code, gives her the one my sister quoted to me and she's like that's not the right one. i'm like what do you mean. she's liek it's wrong. i was like huh. i'm on the account now let me in dammit. she then asked if i kenw the billing address, which of course i didn't it' smy sister's boyrfriend's address or something like that. so i'm like isn't there any other verification thing i can answer!? so the lady's like okay, where does your sister work. now this is funny to me because my sister doesn't work!!! she's been in school forever, and she does not have ajob. i should know. the lady's like no, there's a company code for her, i'm like I"M HER GOD DAMN SISTER I KNOW SHE DOESN"T HAVE A FRIGGIN JOB SHE"S IN SCHOOL!!! i was at my wit's end. i mean ask me anything else, ask me what her favourite colour is, why she has a scar on her knee, why she doesn't like dim sum, why she thinks the sky is blue. something anything else i would prolly have known it. GAH. so i call my sister back telling her the prob, she's in the midst of fixing it. the tally of the score for this game so far. jenny-0, rogers-9889791873182327198. i shake my fist at you rogers! take that.
today is another or those days where i feels as though i'm just sitting still while the world moves about me.
i'ts six-fifty-two: and i'm off to go watch a movie and snuggle with one who fuels my insanity guage.
