Purdue Alumni Association

The hubs has been getting lots of calls from West Lafayette. Knowing that it was the Purdue Alumni Association more than likely asking for money, the hubs has decided not to answer his phone. Now don't get me wrong, he loves Purdue but we had a wedding less than a year ago and we're trying to save for a house oh and not to mention that the hubs could make a career change and have to start all over again.

But tonight was different. You see he got home from work to find a Comcast bill for $250! Turns out when the guy called and offered us a Triple Play Deal for 90 something dollars he really meant to say "You'll be getting a bill for $250" So the hubs made 3 calls. First to the number on the bill. They said they could change the plan to $135 but we would still owe the $250. Then he made a 2nd call, this time to the cancellation department. You'd think they would want to retain us right? Wrong, the lady said the same thing as the first guy and didn't seem to care about the bill for $250. Finally, the hubs called the sales department who informed him that if he were to sign up for a new contract today he could get Internet and TV for $79!

WHAT THE HECK? Really, we can call and sign up for anew service for $79 but they want us to pay $250 for our last months bill?

Right after that 3rd call the hubs got a call from Purdue. This poor college student had no clue what he was in for. I hear the husband first say "it can't be as good as yours, you're in college and I am sure there is plenty of beer." Well that comment must have made the two best friends because then they started talking about majors and Purdue bars and career paths. I am sure the guy on the other line thought the hubs was a for sure deal for some money. However, 20 minutes later the hubs had to let the poor lad down. He was polite about it but I think the college student may be calling to hang out with us the next time he's in Chicago...nice work hubs.

PS Comcast still stinks. I think we are watching all of our recorded shows tonight and then completely cancelling Comcast all together - ::GASP:: I don't know what my husband is going to do with himself!
