One down, one to go

I got my state tax refund today … or at least I think I did … LOL. There was an ‘Electronic Deposit’ in my account today for $6.00. That’s what my state tax refund is supposed to be. I’m not expecting any other sort of electronic deposit. So, I’ve deducted that it is indeed my refund (it would be nice if my bank was more descriptive in the online account stuff … another reason to find a new bank).

I hope that means that my federal refund is on the way soon. I’m itchin’ to get a new monitor. And the longer it is, the more things I’m thinking of that I should get that I’ve been needing/wanting. Monitor … stereo … computer memory … entertainment center … printer ink … cell phone charger … the more I think the more I add … LOL.

Fix it NOW!!

Since sometime yesterday (at least before 6pm), my channel 99 has been showing how-to type programming for the Dish Network. I DO NOT HAVE the Dish Network. I have cable tv. Normally, I don’t give a crap when this happens (and it has happened before), but today I’m extremely pissed off. Why? Because my channel 99 is FX. At noon today, the Gatorade races for Daytona 500 qualifying start. I have my vcr set to tape them since I’m at work. I want to tape the actual races and not that shit that they’re showing. I called my cable company, but of course, their office hours don’t start ’til 8am. I left a message with their ‘overflow call center’. They’d better have that fixed by noon or they’ll get another pissy message from me after work (since their office closes at 5pm and that’s when I leave work).

Good thing we have cable at work (different cable company … the main one in town). I’m going to take lunch a little before noon (I usually take it at 11:30) and turn the tv on to FX and watch the races for an hour. Dale Jr is in the first race anyways. My luck, someone else is going to get in there before me and I won’t be able to watch it.
