Monday Monday

In the beginning of this New Year my company decided to add underwriting support on Saturdays. The optimist in me decided to volunteer working on Saturdays in an attempt to save money on baby-sitting for my 3 boys. In exchange for working on Saturdays I get Mondays off. So far I've used my Mondays to evaluate our monthly bills and see if we could trim it a bit. I tried to save money by combining our satellite TV and internet connection I figured I would save $50.00 a month by switching internet service providers. Dish Network customer service neglected to tell me that my Vonage phone will not work properly with a satellite Internet connection. After the installation right away I noticed how slow the connection was. It brought back memories of CompuServe and the dial up network. It created a 2 second delay on our Vonage phone. So talking on the phone was extremely vexing. It took a total of 5 days for use to decide the $50.00 savings was not worth it. I asked Natalie to visit Time Warner and pick-up a new cable modem. The new connection is now installed I feel like I am back in the 21st century.
