Should I expect any different
“We will be there between 8-12″
I should have known better. Once again Shaw’s wonderful customer service shone. I waited all morning for the technician to be a no show. 45 minutes on the phone later and the best they could do was pass me off to three different people and reschedule it for tuesday afternoon. But at least I got an extra month of net access for free and a cheaper rate for the following six months.
So it seems that I will be spending my afternoon in Steeps yet again. The girls working here are very nice and quite friendly. I think that I will be here often, hell I am already getting tea on the house. Hopefully everyone I meet here will be as easy to get along with.
On a completely different note I saw the violent side of 17th ave start to show through. As I stood on the balcony this afternoon two guys start lipping each other off in the middle of the road in front of my building. Idiot #1 is the aggressor and gets ready to throw a punch so his buddies come running over to join in. Idiot #2 appears to be smarter because when the buddies jump in he takes off as he wants none of the group beating. Of course the buddies of #1 start chasing #2 but give up after half a block. The sick thing was people were watching and showed their disappointment when nothing happened. I myself was watching in case someone needed first-aid or the cops called. How come people think that a street fight is the way to solve the issue of a poorly timed comment or accidental bump?
