So, contrary to what I told Victor at the beginning of the Olympics (me watch? Surely you jest!) I did end up watching the opening ceremonies and have been watching NBC during all of the primetime shows. Now, we are about half-way done and all of the exciting parts are over. The (somewhat) fake opening ceremonies....The awsomeness of the Nastia and Shawn winning gold and silver in gymnastics ...and of course, the magic that *is* Michael Phelps. Is he the *greatest* athelete ever? Well, that's up to interpretation. So, what else have we seen this week? Sports that should not be in the Olympics....Badminton--really? Badminton is a sport that rich people played in the 1800/1900s. It's not a sport! What else isn't a sport? Beach volleyball. Now, I love watching Misty May and her partner play..105 straight wins is incredible but really...where else but California would you see this played? Another even that we watched and laughed at? Trampoline. Tramp-o-line! OMG! Be a gymnast or a diver...but trampoline?! The only time we should see a trampoline on tv is on "America's Funniest Videos" where some redneck tries to show off on it. I really don't think that any sport that has a "World" medal should also be in the Olympics. I think the term "Greatest Athletes" should be saved for those doing the Decathalons. 10 events? *That's* an athlete!
So, I'm done with the Olympics...at least til London....how about you?

Rules of calling Customer Service!
- 1. Before you call any 800 number--Please put your children, animals & significant others in a closet and lock the door til you're done. We really don't appreciate hearing your children screaming in our ears. We don't, in any way, find their antics nearly as priceless as you do.
- 2. Read your bill before you start bitching and whining about it. Read the front and back of all pages. Read it every single month. No company ever just puts charges on your bill just for thrills or to see how long it will take you to notice. All price increases need to be okayed by the FCC or PUC before they take effect and you are given at least 30 days notice.
- 3. It doesn't matter how long you've gone to school or whether you are a doctor,lawyer or Indian chief, I still know more about your service than you do. I know more about the technology than you do and I've got all day to listen to you as you lose your braincells. (And just so you know, whenver it gets very quiet, you are on mute as we *laaaaauuugghh*, tell our neighbors how stupid you are and wait for you to just....shut up)
- 4. Just about anything a "supervisor" can do, we can do...we just don't want to give it to you. Why should we? Sometimes it just feels better to piss you off.
- 5. Anyone over 60 must take a test before they are allowed to get any sort of electronics. If you can't operate it, you can't have it.
- 6. Please stop asking us how we are ..we really don't care how you are and you make us politely ask you after you ask us. Just start talking and whining about the problem so that we don't have to "mute" you (see previous posts about what happens when you are muted)
- 7. Do *not* eat or chew gum while talking to us. I can understand if you were catching up on lunch while on hold and I'm willing to give a little leeway but you better apologize for it and stop. Do you know how many times I've wanted to tell people that I can't understand them with their mouth full? And to ask them if their mother ever told them that it was just plain rude! I don't chew gum while I'm talking to you...do you consider yourself better than me? You think you are better than *me*?

I don't know but I think you are starting to LIKE the olympics , huh??? Well, I agree that some sports have enough coverage as it is, like soccer, or basketball. We get enough of that here anyway, right?
