I'm not sure if this old man was serious or joking, but he was like "sure stick around make youself at home. You can even help me with this cremation I think I've got one ready to go in. I might have a job for you if you want. He is is the owner or founder of a local funeral home that's even named after him. I do know that one of my managers at autozone used to help him in the crematorium, but only because his wife worked there and she quit. TLDR version I might've just passed up tossing a dead body into a fire today, and maybe even a job doing it. That old man's a little off though and it's hard to tell if he's serious about anything. That manager I knew that was working with him supposedly took a few other people that worked at the Autozone and showed them how he cremated the bodies. He offered to take me one time as well, but I guess we never got a time set up. Also this dude lives in a barn remodeled into a house...kind of thing in the back of the funeral home. His dog was in a cage out back and started going ballistic for a little bit right after I thought I heard someone yelling at this guys front door like they wanted someone to open it..Dude opens the door and there was nothing in sight.

Happens to the best of us if you ask me..but I'm alright with this thread now being about..exploitative commandeering in the field of web development. -
Sonichu could be good though idk? You're right. I wasn't trying to compare you to 'his' creator, but you're right.... That's fucked up. It was a comedic oversight at your expense, and I apologize Ghostrek. That's not an accurate comparison at all.

Kind of want to add that Optimum as a whole doesn't seem to understand the older cox/suddenlink equipment and hasnt implemented a reasonable system between techs and customers to get them more up to date equipment. There's geesers out there with those old dta's that will shit a brick because their bill goes up when we try to put high definition cable boxes or later model modems than their dinosaur crap, and the people in customer service/sales especially new hires seem to be having strokes figuring out all the different equipments limitations etc. If you have dinosaur dta's then you arent paying anything for them.. We swap them out with boxes from the last century you are gonna pay for them... -

When it comes to stuff being shotty since the buy out that's not really a thing. Your mother might have sd dta's or (standard definition digital to analog set top boxes) connected to all her tv's which for one are hard as hell to get a hold of ever since Suddenlink went to altice let alone optimum, and secondly are out dated as fuck and her entire cable system could just be ancient. As for the internet if a tech hasnt been out in years to check the signal at the demarcation point (where all seperate cables connect together...should be close to the power meter as the cable system is supposed to be grounded to it under normal circumstances) The cables are either fucked or she has a 7+ year old modem that needed to be swapped way before the buy out. If you just havent been able to get a technician out that's nothing a technician can do anything about really other than keep bitching to our supes they need to stop using parrots and other circus animals to take customer calls..On the other hand I visit some houses multiple times a month that the only problem is them not knowing how to operate their remote or tv etc. or they're just bat shit crazy as well so all I can say is I do what I can. 🤷♂️ -
Ghostrek is his native language supposedly. Kind of like pig latin but entirely different.. 🤷♂️ Like if Sonichu and English had a baby, and it slapped the both of them, and said "Hey I'm Ghostrek. No fuck gives." 🤷♂️

What's your issue though anyway. As a technician working for circus animals it's usually left up to me to solve the simplest shit. This company used to be decent IDK...Didn't mean to play the fuck off card, but us techs are getting pretty pissed as well. 🙏 -

Nah your cool. My mother's been a bit of a.....bum for lack of better words anyway for as long as I know. She was a home healthcare worker for years and had a cna license her bosses and even me pretty much had to do all the work for, but she let that lapse and got so picky taking on new clients toward the end of her long stint she ended up just quitting and letting my late stepfather do all the work and support her. 🙃 I don't know how to feel after saying all that, but faults or not it's hard for me to just cold shoulder my mother is the thing. Decisions must be made either way alas. I just got a lot on my plate... -

You can pick that bone with a CSR or a corporate fuck my man. Yup it's Optimum. I figured I wouldn't even have to say the name with that "ambigous" description. The fucking new owners or whatever corporate shit has happened over the years has only made things more fustrating for everybody and at this point being a technician expected to do everything from new installations to service calls for people that have been customers since before it was even Suddenlink in some areas is fucking wild...IDEFK You never know what to expect, and it looks like someone let a woodpecker type out all the work orders.. -

I don't want to move is the thing. I may have to move my mother into the house I'm buying whether she likes it or not because she's been out of work racking up debt forever now... In her defense she's been trying to find decent employment for a while now with me putting in apps for her in everything. She quit a decent paying job without doing the proper leave forms and hoop jumping to take care of my terminally ill stepfather, and I've been trying to juggle things for both of us ever since. -

Ive thought about trying to get on for another big ISP here, but I'm honestly tired of hooking ladders to telephone poles altogether and no matter what ISP I work for locally I'm gonna have to do that in most areas I'm sure.. -

Yeah the one that's been sold and rebranded more times than your eldest corner street whore. -
I'm in need of new job.. I'm so sick of working for this company. I've been stuck with sunday and tuesday off for going on 3 years now for one. Just getting tuesday changed for saturday so I can have both weekends off would make a whole lot of difference. Especially when your start time is 8:00am and your finish time is whenever the fuck you finish your last 5-8pm work order some walrus throws at you at the last minute when it finally bounces the ball at the right button...Don't ask IDFK. I clocked out at 9:00pm today without even finishing my last job because of a rf (coax) cable signal issue I wasn't going to be able to fix anytime soon...after running a new cable drop and a LONG ass feed line around this house for a 4 room cable tv and internet install...Fuck this shit. We shouldn't have to wire 4+ rooms with new cable, after doing all the polework only to then be responsible for hooking up all the cpe inside the customers house alone on orders over 3 rooms if you ask me. 3 rooms can be enough of a pain in the ass as it is. All during a 3 hour timeframe.. So if I have one of those monster ass orders at the beginning or end of the day wtf you think is gonna happen when it's a 2-5 appointment, and you have 3 other 2-5 appointments on my fucking route?

Today fucking sucked as far as work goes anyway. And I have to do it all again tomorrow.

You are talking to a perpetual insomniac that works shifts consisting up to 12 hrs a day 5 days a week with my 2 days off not even being back to back. I could go on honestly, but enough about that. Good night bro.

I forget a cat can even feel neglected..but I guess mine does simular things. It grew up with my border collie already playing that schtik though so he knows better. He's opted to just trying to trip me in the kitchen, and go postal when he hears a can opener going instead.
