SIGH

I love my cat. Really, I do. And I know he loves me.

But why does his love have to be so evil?

It regularly involves nearly tripping me when I get home, while he squalls for food. Once fed, he rushes to eat four bites, and then to show his appreciation, he jumps around in the litter box, taking extra care to squash all manner of litter between the pads of his paws, runs over to jump on my desk in order to scatter it all over my nice clean desk.

But then he lies down on top of my arms, snuggles against my chest, and manages to once again escape death. Now he's darted off to have a bath.

( Charming, n'est-ce pas? )

So, I've never had a company not give a shit about losing my business. I wrote them a polite email saying that despite repeated efforts to get help, I haven't. That I was disappointed because they used to be such a great company. And that I've switched to Comcast. I said I wanted a refund for July that they just charged my card for. I wasn't bitchy or rude.

I got back a one-line response: Your account has been cancelled. Your account has been refunded for July.

That's it. It's just kind of weird. I don't care so much, because I've actually solved my own problem. But I have to admit I'm curious if they're going out of business or if they're under new management.

I mean, I realize they know there's nothing they can do because I've already found another ISP, so there's no point in offering me a free month or anything. But no apology or explanation for their lack of response. Huh.
