We come home last night after a pretty annoying week, (Tara was sick, and I had a few Dr.'s appointments along with being swamped at work) to finally open our email after a few days of skipping it. Included in the ever increasing amount of spam that we get (spam filter? I don't think so) to find a message from Earthlink thanking us for ordering DSL service.

What?

Now mind you, we would love to order DSL but after the fiasco that we went through last summer with Earthlink and it's tech support we have decided to hold off and wait for a killer deal. On top of that Earthlink would be the last place we would order it from. I am thinking that we were slammed somehow, the way the phone companies used to get people to switch their long distance provider without them knowing it. So I decide to call them to resolve the matter, on a Saturday morning. Now I am doomed to be on hold for the rest of time. So far it has been a half an hour and we have The Gillet's arriving from NJ sometime around 2-3 PM. I hope I am off the phone by then!

As it turns out, it only took me an hour to get some help. Go figure.
