Just when I was thinking that nothing could ruin this beautiful Lyle Lovett day in Texas, I get an email from your favorite company and mine - verizon.

Actually, to be fair, it was from my bank, telling me I have a new bill from verizon (for twice what it should be). Like any good child of the new millenium I go the website and sign into my online verizon account to look at the bill.

What do I find? “JPOWERS1970, your online account has been disabled. If you need assistance, please contact us.”

This has gone beyond verizon sucking, I am now beginning to believe they are crazy. I know - a corporation, an entity, a big-ass company, cannot be crazy. And still, I really really think that, in this case, they are. I am almost beginning to feel sorry for them actually.
