Afternoon News and Notes: Sometimes good things happen to good people

First time here? Subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

LoL. So something really random and good happened to me yesterday. I just made a post about how my internet was cut off and so I called the company to see how much I was gonna have to pay to get it back on. I thought it was interesting because I had read my email at work and it had an email from the company saying "Thank you for your payment" and then when I called the company, they said that they received the payment too. The only thing is, I didn't make a payment. It's all good though, they turned my internet back on.

We're back online and I am constantly trying to tweak this new theme. If anyone is good at graphics and wants to make a better banner that will match the theme please let me know. Heres some random news and notes.
