Things I probably have no business commenting on…

Let me preempt the following comments with this little tidbit of information – on a scale of one to granola, I rank somewhere in the upper echelon of granola. What I mean is, though about 5% of my wardrobe is trendy, I wear clogs or chacos (depending on the weather) practically every day. I have 5 pairs of pants, some with patches, because I like them and don’t want to replace them. I compost, recycle, and give scraps to the chickens. I am a hippy, for all general purposes, and I am OKAY with that. But this is what I don’t get (and why I now wished I had a camera phone so I can share the abundant unexplained fashion atrocities of a college campus):

WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH RUBBER BOOTS? First of all, it isn’t raining today… second of all, even if it was, they don’t need to be above the knee…. thirdly, YOUR SWEAT PANTS ARE TUCKED INTO THEM. Who are you? What fashion statement are you trying to make? I have seen 15 pair of those UGG or knock-off boots today as well. I live in northern CA folks. It is a CHILLY 66 degrees today. Break out the winter boots! Tuck our pants deep down into them so that no snow gets in… I’m sorry, not snow… GRASS CLIPPINGS…

Somebody please explain this fashion trend to me!?! The rubber boots?

Today’s bane of my existence

CINGULAR F*&$ING WIRELESS.

Who the fuck do they think they are?!? For two years I had a contract with them. They have the record of over 5,000 roll-over minutes that I had accumulated because their service SUCKED. I thought that maybe it was my phone, so I thought I would give them a second chance at the end of my two year contract by getting a new phone. It still sucked, so I returned it within 30 days. Now, almost 1 year after I left them for AT&T (yeah, I know. I belong to Cingular again, but this time with AT&T towers) Cingular calls me telling me that I owe them $200 for ending my service before 180 days. WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? They said that I signed a 1-year contract, which I am fairly positive I wouldn’t have done if I wasn’t sure that the phone was going to work properly.

I am the type of person who will now worry about this until they figure out what the hell they are doing. When a middle man calls you ten times in one freaking day, without having all of the facts up front, what kind of business are you running? When your customer service is terrible, you are unhelpful, and basically call harrassing me ten times in one freaking day without knowing for sure whether or not I owe you $200!

This merger is going to kill my faith in large corporate customer service.

Thank you for reading my rant.
