Events! We haven't been out much at all this year but we're going to do a whole bunch of things soon!

Going to see butterflies tomorrow + a live nativity with the kids... next Wednesday seeing Star Wars then Friday we'll see Santa with the kiddos at my husband's office + lunch in the city, Christmas Eve Chinese dinner downtown, then in early January Daniel Tiger at the Kimmel Center

plus this worker site debacle

All that stuff sounds like so much fun!

Yea I was trying to get them to work but looks like their version 2.2 is really broken.

They've been broken since yesterday when they updated their code for worker. They've had a couple of revisions but the HITs are still not working. I sent them an email about it yesterday but didn't get a reply (not too surprising).

TO post from today describes 17 minutes of bubble hell for $2. On time alone, that's barely $7/hour and would be a 1/5 on my Pay rating. Bubble hell? Screw that requester.

It definitely didn't take me 17 minutes. More like 10.

I've had this problem with every cable provider we've used in the past 8 or so years. They CONSTANTLY are creeping up the bill. I don't feel like I should have to call and have a 40 minute haggle every single month when I very clearly signed for a service at a specific price. I hatehatehate cable companies and as soon as my father in law who HAS TO see every soccer game ever played anywhere in the world no longer lives with us, we're cutting the cord.

Spectrum does suck, but we pay $50 for 100/20

Not bad.

$50 for 100/20 is absolutely terrible. The most you should be paying is $30.

Google Fiber offers gigabit service for $70/month. That's 1000 down and up, according to their page. That's what happens when you have a company in the market that wants to be competitive, rather than trying to strangle you.

Even considering the greed of cable companies, I thought they'd at least be trying to make inroads with customers by this point. 3-4 years ago I saw that the cable companies' grasp via cable service was slipping, because of things like Sling TV and Pluto TV. Now Hulu has a similar service, Playstation Vue as well, and Amazon's doing similar things. I think I didn't take enough into account of the inertia of the short-term corporate mentality, and I go on about that all the time. All that means, though, is that once people start *really* running away from the big companies, they'll have less and less to offer, and will quickly have to go the route of massive giveaways and desperate attempts to woo back customers. Just going to be a couple of years later than I thought.
