Finally starting to feel better. A little more even; not such waves of sickness. I spent a lot of time yesterday dozing, having a headache from hell or being stuck ill in the bathroom. Ugh. What an unpleasant day. Add to it the fact that I didn't sleep worth a damn last night and that I woke up this morning getting ill again, I called in to give myself another day to really get over it. I am starting to feel more normal which is a great thing and I don't see any reason why I won't be well enough to go in tomorrow. Didn't want to have to stay home two days like this, but when you're sick, you're just sick. What can you do?

Anyway, having problems with the stupid phone company today. Had a number call us no less then a dozen times in three hours. It was an 800# with "blocked name" listed on the caller id. (It was 800-514-7490 for anyone searching for it - I couldn't find it listed on google - and it belongs to Verizon) I finally answered it around noon and it was an automated message telling me the service I ordered was active on my account. I didn't order any service. So I press "0" to speak to someone. I explain it to her and she says that there were changes made to my account today. She says that my voicemail, inside wire maintence and something else had been disconnected. (Though the message was that call restriction or something was ON not off) I asked her why the heck changes were made I didn't authorize. She said it was because when accounts get to a certain amount past due, they remove things. Then she gets confused because we're only $84 behind and it's less then two weeks overdue. She doesn't know why they'd do that when it was such a small amount. So she puts me on hold and eventually transfers me to the department that would know about that kind of thing. I sit on hold for over a half-an-hour and no one ever picks up. I finally give up in disgust, but now it seems they just up and decided to remove some services from my phone and damned if I know why. Stupid ass phone company is such a pain. It's not like I run up huge phone bills or whatever, it just so happened that I needed to wait until this upcoming check to make the payment rather then last week. We use zero long distance - ever - so it's not like there's some risk of us running up an even more massive bill and why the hell would they just up and decide we don't get our voicemail service anymore? It's not like you can use that to charge a ton of money to your account! Fucking idiots.

Anyway, I'm feeling better but I'm grumpy about shit like this. It's just stupid and when you can't even get them on the line to find out what the hell the deal is, it's even dumber. I hate this time of year because it's always a big mess with money and things just always suck ass. We haven't bought present one for anyone, let alone for each other. Ugh. Fucking holidays. Like we need the damned phone company giving us hell on top of it.

*sighs and grumbles* Done for now I suppose.
