Cingular Wireless

It costs a wireless carrier more than $200 to acquire a new customer. I have been a Cingular customer for the last 3 or 4 years. Last month, my payment got lost in the mail. Yes, I really sent it on time.

So, I received a call from Cingular customer service the other day wanting to know where my payment is. Since I haven’t received my monthly checking account statement, I checked online and noticed that the check never cleared. I told the rep that the check must be lost in the mail or more likely lost in their mail room/fulfillment area. I told them that I would give them my credit card and pay for the April bill. I then requested that they do not charge any late fee. They said they couldn’t drop the $5.00 late fee.

So, Cingular will not drop the $5.00 late fee for a payment that I sent two weeks before the due date.

I am now looking to change wireless carriers, over the $5.00 that Cingular won’t drop.

Rock the Vote Brochure

After seeing Shrek II or is it Shrek 2 tonight, we went to Ben and Jerry’s. While there I picked up a brochure from Rock The Vote.

While enjoying my Phish Food, I read the following information from the brochure:

Most young adults have no allegiance to one specific party. In 2000, 48% of voters aged 18 to 29 voted for Al Gore and 46% voted for George W. Bush. Today 38% of college undergraduates are Independent/Undecided, 31% Republican; and 27% Democrat. The source for this information is Voter News Service and Harvard IOP Study.

I can’t believe that more young people identify themselves as Republicans then Democrats. This is really sad news.

Hopefully this trend will change in 2004 and the Democrats will have a larger

Letterman vs. Leno

I saw the other day that Jay Leno is increasing his viewer ship over David Letterman. I just don't get it. Leno is NOT funny. He is awful at interviewing since he sucks up to all his guests.

Late Night is a far superior show. Letterman has intelligent talk and great bands. I guess the same people who watch Leno are the morons who vote for Bush.
