My carrier has hung up on *me*!

Latest annoyance: After five years with them, my phone company has gotten tired of being superior to the local provider I dumped them for and has decided to jack up their fees by 261%. I won't go through how difficult it's been to extract information from them, I'll just say that I'm now shopping around for a replacement--which might mean giving up my landline, since AT&T is pulling out of local service in my area and I still haven't forgiven SBC for all those years of dicking me around. Being a consumer would be so much easier if I simply had no pride.

But I'm sick of bitching about how hard it is to be a well-off, homeowning capitalist. Forthwith: My promised review of last weekend--just in time for the next!
