Tuesday Morning Brief

Good morning from rainy Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's spring so I'm not going to complain. We need rain badly. We're in a drought here, so I'll take the precip any way I get it.
Today is a busy day. I'm leaving in a short while with my friend down the hall for Bible study. Then another friend will bring me home. When I get home, I might have time to run to the office and brag on the manger here to the district manager who is here for a day. We'll see what happens. She needs all the support she can get. Then my son's girlfriend is picking me up to take me to Spectrum and Hy-Vee to get the necessary eggs and other necessary food for Easter dinner. We talked yesterday about what to eat and who's bringing what. Spectrum could take a while, so we'll go there first.
Spectrum is raising my bill next month when the government help for the Internet disappears. She isn't on any kind of help for the Internet and her bill is $49.99. Mine went up $10 within two months of that price when I got on the program. They just raised it again two dollars to $61.99. It's supposed to be a $30 discount over the regular rate, which at the time was $79.99. Now, they're talking $91.99 for the Internet. No way! We're going to talk about that when her bill is only $49.99 without discounts. When we get that settled, we'll head over to Hy-Vee.
So, it will be a long day today. I don't expect to be home until later this afternoon. I don't know if I'll get over to the office or not.
How's your day going? Thanks for reading. I have the notifications done and breakfast. I need to get ready to leave. Have a great day. The image belongs to me.

It's going, thanks for that discussion because that webinar about the internet is today. I am doing a mystery shop but I need to participate in that. I have to check the time.

We went around in circles with Spectrum, they kept raising out television rates. Now, we don't have television service, only Internet.

I have two choices for Internet in Green Bay proper. Spectrum and AT&T. I switched from them when I still owned my home. They have the WORST customer service. The rates between them are comparable. Spectrum cable comes with the rent, so I pay nothing for cable, only the Internet. I was on a government plan with Spectrum which lowered my bill by $30. But over the year, I've seen it crawl back up. With the program ending this month, and my seeing my Internet bill going sky high again, I went to Spectrum last week to see if I could get the bill lowered. I did. I need to go back next week to have the bill amount put in place. If I had done so last week, it would have made a mess of my bill since I already paid the bill. My new bill is even less than it was before the government program started. So, it's a win for me.

@just4him AT&T is evil, we went through a lot trying to get good service. We had dropped calls, often. We had Spectrum at the first rental house. A football game or a movie would be almost over, then our service would go out! We called about this problem and they didn't fix it. If we don't complain about rising prices, they will never do a thing.

Spectrum does nothing but increase their charges. Our bill for internet/TV/phone is almost $300. They should be ashamed of themselves!

My day went on well.
It's now 10pm and I'm heading to bed.
Seems it's not only food prices that are going up. Spectrum internet bill is also going up.
