Take THAT, "Digital Voice"!

Growing up and becoming an "adult" is a difficult thing, even without the added stress, frustrations, etc of household expenses and bills.

Leaving home/high school and people I love to go to college... and then leaving college and THOSE people I love to start my "career"... and you want me to pay HOW much to keep in contact with the people that are so important to my mental and emotional stability?!

I may have overcome some of my phone-phobic tendencies since high school, but I am no where near cured... so I, like so many people now, heavily rely on the internet to keep in touch with my "peeps"*.

When I first set up my internet account in my little house, for some strange reason it was cheaper to get "digital voice" and internet together than to get JUST internet. But it was only for 3 months. Then they spiked the price back up... WAY up.

I meant to call and cancel the "digital voice" since I never used it and never answered when someone called. (It was {almost} always telemarketers or someone asking for "Duffy.")



The procrastination was a result of a number of things... partly the phone-phobia, partly the operating hours of the billing and account departments, partly my tendency to distraction...

But it all came to an end today.

Ok, I have to admit that i was spurred to action because both my phone and internet were offline last night... but the point is: I finally canceled my "digital voice"!

The kind lady I talked to let me know that since my internet wasn't a part of a package anymore that the price would be higher, but she was able to find me another promotional price for JUST internet that is even lower than the original "digital voice" + internet deal I signed up for!

Oh, happy day. Now I can stop wondering whether or not I could manage without internet in my house.

And now the sun is finally shining after a long downpour of rain! Even better.

*I promise I don't {or just very rarely} ever refer to my friends and family as "my peeps" in real life. Really.
