I like COX, but after receiving a bill today after I cancelled earlier this month is not only unprofessional but childish and neglectful.  It was August 7th when I returned the cable boxes and cancelled my membership because I was moving to an area that weren't serviced by the company. 

The thing is, the company charges you a month in advance.  My last charge was due July 28th and was paid in full.  Which means I paid for almost the entire month of August up until August 28th.  I was only a member up until August 7th...  that's about ONE Week.  IF ANYTHING, COX owes me money... but instead I'm getting charged for the month of September?

And to add insult to injury... they further wasted my time because I called customer service and ended up waiting from 1/2 hour to an hour on hold.  The kicker is, NO ONE answered my call.  So, like I said, uprofessional-childish-and neglectful of the company.  Seriously liked them and probably would of came back if I moved somewhere they were covering but after receiving this email I feel betrayed. 

Hate when a company betrays their customers. 

----------------------------------

a few minutes later...

====================

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAVED!!!

====================

I finally reached a customer service representative and the bill was a mistake or a lag in the system.  As I thought, I was pro rated probably for one day or something.  Which means my charges went from $127.52 to $4.22.  The representative said something about the payment cycle not being exactly as I thought, but I'm just happy I didn't get charged the full $127.52...

So we're cool...  but to all you companies reading this, work hard to keep your systems moving as quickly as possible without killing your workers!  Don't scare your customers with false bills and then leave them in the dark for a whole day! 

On the hunt for a job...

The lastest place I applied for was working in Python.

Python is apparently an equivalent to C++, which means

I practically have 1 to 2 years of experience in the langauge.

This was a great source to get an idea on the syntax-

http://www.sthurlow.com/python/lesson01/

The twist though is, I was building everything in Python 3.0.

That site builds everything in an older version.

I'll go ahead an list my code though if anyone wants some 3.0 code to mess around with.

===============================

So yeah...

I'm in the process of learning how to draw in pythong because I want to make something cool.  Shhh- I'll tell you what it is when its done. 

Interesting thought...

======

If you fail over and over again, keep failing because the more you fail the more ways you learn not to fail...  Therefore your chances of succeeding increase...

However, if you die failing...  are you not still a failure?

=======

Its a very depressing thought...  one that's really making me think about the time I have left in this world.

My original comment:  

=========

people keep saying certain heroes are broken or OVER POWERED...

one of those heroes was apparently Trynd...

I completely disagree.... you see when you think a hero is OP you simply have to take a step back and realize they have a weakness...

once you determine the weakness, you simply have to EXPLOIT that weakness... so HERE YOU GO!! Trynd is NO LONGER OP!! So go forth and exploit his weakness!
