The Angry Drunk

As I wrote last time in A Tale of Two Fuckups, after leaving one of my three Cox digital cable boxes unpowered for a week and a half, it was no longer working properly.  To recap, I called technical support looking to have the box re-authorized; but the numbskull of the phone refused and insisted [...]

Gotta get these two off of my chest.
Fuckup The First. Wherein Cox Communications Phoenix Angers an Angry Drunk:

Sorry Will, it’s not the lawyers who need to go up against the wall; it’s the Wall Street ‘analysts;’ especially those who cover technology. I want a job where I can pull some overly inflated ‘expected sales’ out of my ass; and when the product in question fails to meet the target that I, not [...]

This has to be a joke. Just when I thought that “reality” television had reached its zenith (or is that its nadir) those rascally Dutch go and kick things up the proverbial ‘nother notch.
