Re: SA Wednesday
At least they didn't hang up on you... (happened to me yesterday with TWC). Apparently they can NOT, absolutely, NO WAY possible itemize my service so the internet shows as one charge and the cable as another. I can expense my internet charge, but ONLY if it is broken out. Stupid TWC.

I told my mom I wanted one of these for when we have the baby. DH was horrible at taking baby pictures of SD because his camera never worked and I don't want the same thing to happen again. Plus we are starting to take more family vacations and I know both kids will enjoy looking back at the pictures so I want them to be good. What cameras do you recommend? My sister has one but I'm not sure we want to spend what she spent on her's yet. Maybe we can upgrade to that later.
Sorry you're frustrated with the process. Unfortunately when it comes to nursing programs, most of them require about the same classes and they don't really let you substitue classes. You have to take those particular classes before you can apply. I'm afraid it'll be the same way at TWU, because I'm applying to both programs and their requirements are very similar with the exception of one class I believe, which is nutrition. TWU requires it and UTA doesn't.
That's why it is essentially taking me a year and a 1/2 to take these pre-reqs before I can even apply, even though I already have a degree because, they want such specific classes.
If it's something you really want, a few years will pay off.
I just got my first bill... tell me what you would think you're being charged if this was on your order summary, because maybe I'm off base. Would you guess $63.98?
H5051 3200 VBUNDLE I Multi-Room DVR 4 HD STB 1 $ 43.99
G9659 3200 VINSTALL I Additional Existing Outlet 3 $ 19.99

I am also having issues with customer service, but for a little medi clinic I went to a few months ago for a strep throat test. I just got the bill, and not only was my insurance not billed (even though I had a new card and know they wrote that information down) but I'm billed for a procedure I didn't have. (I do remember another patient coming in at the same time for foot X-rays, which is what is on my bill -- so I think they mixed us up completely).
I've been calling almost every day for a week. It just rings and rings, no answering machine (and this is during their supposed office hours). Once, someone answered, but she said she was just an answering service (again, during their office hours) and would have the right person call me back. But that was a week ago, and no call back. I'm seriously irritated!
I thought it was bad enough that I was chastized at my appointment for writing down my husband's nickname (e.g., Bill) instead of his legal name (e.g., William) when filling out my emergency contacts. Seriously?
I know you were asking Chelsea, and I'm sure she'll chime in, but my DH recommends the Canon Rebel for this kind of situation. It was his first SLR. He says that Canon is easier to learn than Nikon, but I'm sure there are plenty of Nikon people out there who would say the opposite. I have this one (link) and I like it because it's a step up from the normal point and shoot, but I don't have to mess with lenses.
That is what I would guess. Plus all the state fees, taxes, franchise costs. But yeah.
Ok vent, 106 is not that bad, b/c it isn't humid? Tell me what you think after you leave.

Yes. What are they charging you extra for? The boxes?
Oh my whole bill is $270... this is just two of the extra charges.
Well, apparently the 3 $19.99 means 3 charges of $19.99. The way I read it should be 3 outlets at $19.99 total. How convenient that I get my first bill and everything changed. I am annoyed!
Bio
Same thing happened to me. It wasn't the boxes though.. I was quoted a bundle rate of $70/month including everything, and when my bill came it was $96.99 plus the box charges.
Thank goodness I printed all of my confirmations or I would be furious. They called me a liar and didn't believe me at all. Changed their tune once I faxed them my paperwork.
YES! Canon all the way. The Digital Rebel is a great little camera... we actually shot a few weddings on it when we were just starting out. You'll be able to change and add lenses if you want, but the kit lens it comes with is absolutely capable of upping the quality of your at-home pictures. It's an investment, but not too bad. I believe the T3 is the last one I've actually held, a relatively recent model, and it's a solid little camera.
The best thing about a digital rebel is that even if you only shoot on auto, the pictures will be miles better than what you're taking with a point&shoot. Once you learn how to really manipulate the settings, you'll be amazed at what you're able to do!
Just promise me you won't buy a digital rebel and a copy of Photoshop Elements, start turning people purple, and charging $50 for a session, k?
We got the Rebel T2i right before the wedding and I love it. I need to read more or take a class to really get the most out of it, but it was perfect for wedding events, our honeymoon and probably future kids.
Bio Good Times
Thank you for the suggestions Anna and Chelsea! I will look into this camera! Anything has to be better than my current point and shoot that the dog found.
And Chelsea if I can make $50 a session I can't promise. Any extra money will help with daycare and diapers.
You've probably seen this but:
http://youarenotaphotographer.com/See! I was mad too, and they told me "fax us a screen shot". I told them that I wasn't aware I was dealing with a company handled business that way.

YES. It provides many a hilarious *hand/forehead* moment for me. Everyone's gotta start somewhere, but seriously?
It's like those people who go on American Idol and sound like dying cats... who's telling them they can sing well?
This is hilarious!!!! And so true. I have many a friend on Facebook who thinks they're a photographer because they can use the "Vintage" effect from picnik.
Today is seriously the slowest day ever. It is just dragging and I am having a hard time staying awake :-/
But on the bright side, I have lost some weight this week yay! :-)

Angie - Yes, Winstar is pretty fun.
I'm attempting to make cake pops this weekend as a trial run. Anyone hungry?
I love cake pops. Yes please!
Brianna - Give them a piece of your mind!
Chelsea - That was hilarious! It took me a while to Mason from Ma Son.
I didn't get the promotion
I'm a little upset, but I'm really glad I didn't get my hopes up. I might be doggie sitting for Giselle though. That'll be fun!

Aw, I'm sorry about the promotion, Deepthi. But you're right, dog-sitting is super fun! You get to play with them and then give them back!
Send ju-ju girls - UTA agreed to knock off $150. I am now waiting for a phone call from a supervisor about knocking off an additional $300.
I will still have to pay $250, but that's a far cry from $700. It's still BS but at this point what is $250 when I am already writing them a check for thousands?
Yes, but having to pay $250 for something you didn't do is absurd. Shouldn't they have to have the actual ID card in hand to check out books to someone? Shouldn't their people be checking photos?
There is a lot of BS here... for sure. Does your student ID have fraud protection? lol .... Seriously though, will they at least change your # so it can't happen again???
Yes, there should. We require a photo ID, even if it's a driver's license. The media library won't even do that, you have to have your student ID. I've had people come in and say "oh, my friend asked me to come check this out for him, he gave me his card." And we don't allow that. But there are always those student assistants who will disregard the rules.
I agree with this! You should be paying them anything! What's going to happen the next time this person decides to use your card?
