Archive for December 2008

This December has been crazy. The usual holiday travel and work taking up most of my time. However, the other big thing is moving and that has just sucked the life out of me. So much to do, with so little time. Will update the site once I get settled in.

I had read about WP 2.7 a few weeks ago from Slashdot and had seen the changes made to the dashboard. I just installed and it’s night and day. Not sure exactly how I feel about it, but it does seem a bit more streamlined. Fortunately, all my plugins worked and for the most part the site looks the same. Enjoy the new changes.

The last few months my Sprint bill had been in the multiple of hundreds of dollars. Usually above $300, so I finally decided to switch to their everything plan. $99 dollars + tax for all the calling, texting, and web is an excellent price and I will take full advantage of it. However, it just so happens that I have a corporate discount of 23%. Now, if you do the math, that would be a savings of at least $23 every single month! Yes, doesn’t that rock, simply everything plan for $77 + tax? However, I received my first bill today and the awesome savings came to a total of $0.18. Yes, that cents… 18 cents.

I picked up the phone and got in contact with Sprint (who btw has changed their IVR and gotten rid of ASR). The wonderful agent I spoke with, Christina, informed me that “since the simply everything plan is already so discounted, no further discounts can be applied towards it”. Well, isn’t that grand? In the long run, I will pay less, however I will miss that 23% discount. :(
