Well, that was different

Vacation in Miami was fine — not entirely my cup of tea between every area in hotel not my room insisting on playing loud club music. Spent several afternoons on the beach, but wow, had not realized how windy Miami Beach was. I think I got more wind burn than sun burn. The sun screen at least worked...though I think my skin didn’t 100% appreciate it given how itchy i’ve Been since, though no apparent rash.

Returned home to find that someone Verizon has downgraded my cable to the basic basic package for TV? Which, I’d call to complain, but from what I can tell from my bills, they are charging me the same with the same coding for “basic basic” for over a year, but it’s only been since last week that I didn’t have access to all the extra channels (excluding premium ones). So either I forgot I had a great 4 year deal? Or somehow I was accidentally getting the good stuff without paying for it? Which is funny since I was telling a coworker that I’d stalled long enough on cord cutting that keeping cable seemed like a good plan given the fact that everyone seems to be doing their own independent streaming plans again.

It works both ways, too. I just did a sample week of YouTube's live TV service and before the week was up they began to charge me, and now say they won't cancel the service until next month. I started up a dispute with my credit card, which I also can't seem to delete from the account.

Until now Google didn't have any kind of payment information for me and given that I'm not keen on You Tube's service, there's probably nothing else I'd use it for anyway.
