Things to do for the new house.
We had our mortgage closing this morning. So the house is officially ours today, but we don’t get to occupy it until tomorrow at 4pm. Here is what I have to do today.
To Do List…
Call and schedule a carpet cleaner 486-4886Call Xcel energy for the Gas 800-824-1688Call North Saint Paul for utilites 651-747-2400Call the state to do homesteading 651-266-2000Buy a cable modem- Schedule Comcast to come out 800-COMCAST
Bitch about Comcast customer serviceChange address with Post Office

Update: At the end of my call with Xcel they transferred me to some third party to “verify” my order. That third party told me they could help me with my Cable needs too. They told me that my options were Charter Cable or Comcast Cable… that was wrong but she realized her mistake pretty quickly. So we started talking about Comcast Cable services, I quickly realized that she knew the packages but she really didn’t know what she was talking about beyond that. She told me that I would need an HD receiver in order to receive HD cable. I explain that I don’t have an HD receive but I get HD cable right now just fine. She insisted that there was no way that I could get HD cable without an HD receiver. I told her that I have a cable box right now and I get all my channels just fine and that she was probably smoking crack…. Our call ended shortly after that.
Update 2: Contacting Comcast has been a *task* so far. Janet is going to help me. This whole thing is a racket. In other news, Dish Network isn’t that expensive…. and their website is awesome.
Update 3: I’m still shocked at the price of a cable modem.

Ywah, setting up the cable and internet at the new place is not something that I look forward to. Cable companies are some of the worst interactions that I have ever gone through.
On the bright side of things, you have a very neatly organized to do list. One that you have mostly taken care of.
