Wow utilities can be a pain to deal with.

Contacted Cox Cable this morning to arrange for disconnect. I’m glad I didn’t do that earlier It would have bushed me over the edge a week ago, in terms of them not getting it right the first time. The 

However, today it was an annoyance, nothing more.

I told the Rep that the disconnect should be effective on Aug 19th

10 minutes later my cable and internet are down. Great! Not what I asked for. At the point that this happened I was on the phone to SDG&E (San Diego Gas & Electric) arranging the disconnection of that service.

No worries, the Rep at SDG&E was pleasantly efficient and understood what I was doing. She scheduled things to be effective on the 20th. Perfect! 

I call Cox Cable back. This time I got someone who had a brain. She fixed things, 1 hour later Internet and cable were back on. I want to keep the internet at least through the weekend. 

Many things still to do, but this is wrapping up. I’ll be ready for Monday.

Tonight, I’m going to relax, get some sleep and just clear my head.
