Melanie and I were at the Round Rock Express baseball game with the Lewis and West family. Tim Lewis showed up late. He had Mali and Alyssa with him. He told us that as they were driving on Toll Road 130, a semi-truck hit a person. Tim said that they missed the actual incident by less than a minute. He said that he stop to help. He saw what looked like a deer in the road, but it was this teenage looking kid. He told Mali and Alyssa not to look. Tim went to the truck driver, Murry Potts, to make sure he was OK. Murry told Tim that he saw the kid by the guard rail and then the kid just jumped…jumped right in front of his semi-truck. So the kid committed suicide. How sad. What was this kid thinking? Why was his life so bad that he thought this was the way out? This got me thinking, that we as Christ followers have to step up. We have to become the pastors, the preachers, the people who spread the Word of God. We missed this kid, and it makes me sad.
Please be praying for Tim, Mali, and Alyssa. The two girls were way to young to see something like this. Please pray that they keep strong. Murry Potts really needs some strong prayers. No person should have to go through that. It is sad that because of one persons actions, the kid jumping in front of Murry’s semi, that it has made a huge dent it all these peoples lives.
Melanie and I went to Capitol Hyundai in Kyle to look at what used cars they had. The sales guy told us that he had a 2005 Chrysler Sebring, with 18,000 miles, that had hail damage and he could get us a good deal on. So he went to his manager and the manager came to us and said that we could have it for $5,000 plus TT&L. So we went to look at it. It did have a lot of hail damage, which I wasn’t concerned about. I wanted a mechanically good running car. Well, Mel and I had to leave to pick up Brit from VBS. We told the guy we would pay $4700 out-the-door. Of course he had to talk to his manager. So I gave him my cell phone and told him to call me with the answer. I didn’t think they would go for it, but I really wanted them to do $5000 out-the-door. If they would do that, I would have bought it. Anyways, he calls me back and tells me the best they could do is $6500 plus tt&l. What?!?! Before I left the of, fer was $5k plus tt&l, where did the $6500 come from? I don’t know what happened, but I have never dealt with a car dealership where the made me an offer, and then they went up on the offer. Needless to say, we did not buy the car.
Crazy I tell ya, just crazy! I don’t know about these people. So, please BEWARE of Capitol Hyundai.
Melanie and I are on the lookout for a good used car. This is going to be our family car. If anyone knows of a car or someone that has a car for sale, please let me know.
I got an email from our Marketing Director that there was a story done on The Training Camp by NBC Washington. My very good friend and coworker at The Training Camp was the instructor teaching the class, Jeff Porch. The reporter got his last name wrong. The spelled it Poarch, but it is actually Porch. I just wanted to set the record straight.
I have been letting my hair grow out for the past two months. For those of you who don’t know me, I normally have a buzz cut. So I decided to let it grow out. That meant I had to put all that hair product stuff in my hair. I was using more shampoo to wash my hair, plus put in conditioner. Well, I just couldn’t take it anymore so I buzzed it again. Yeah!!! It feels so good to have short hair again. I just hope Melanie likes it. We will see in about an hour!
This weekend I got a call from D-Link. Man was I surprised! I didn’t think they would call me back. Oscar Navaro is the guy who called me. No, this is not the same Oscar that I posted about earlier. I talked to Mr. Navaro about what happened and he was not so happy about how his techs were treating customer. I did get an apology, that was very nice of him. It would have been great to have received an apology from the other techs, but I will take what I get. D-Link is now on my good side.
I called D-Link’s tech support today. I didn’t feel right not letting them know what I did to fix my DIR-655 issue. So I called them back, this is their top level tech support, and Oscar answered. This is the Oscar that promised me that if we lost our phone connection that he would call me back. I even gave him my cell phone number. I even asked him to repeat back my numbers. So I asked if he remembered me and of course he did. I explained everything that was going on and that I fixed the issue with the DIR-655. I told him that I didn’t feel right not letting them know, however, it would be nice to get an apology from him for not following through with me. Well, he didn’t. There was no way he was going to tell me that he was sorry. I don’t know about you, but if I were wanting to keep my customer, I don’t care what happened, I would tell the customer that I was sorry. I want your business. Oscar didn’t want to do that. I asked where I could file a complaint, I was upset at this point and Oscar told me that I had to call customer service. He also wanted to know what I did to fix the issue with my DIR-655, I didn’t tell him. At this point, I changed my mind, I didn’t feel right telling him.
So I called up D-Link’s customer service and I got Letty on the phone. Letty was AWESOME! He listened to me and talked with me about my issue. I wasn’t even going to call and complain but Oscar changed my mind on that. I told Letty that I have spent thousands of dollar over the years with D-Link, and the one time that I needed D-Link, I get really poor customer service. I don’t even get an apology, no we are sorry Joe, nothing. I even pointed Letty to my blog and she went to it to read my previous post about this issue. She made a comment on how “young” I looked. Thank you Letty! Well, we will see what happens and if I get a call from Oscar at D-Link and get an apology. That is all I want. I don’t want anything else from them. I don’t know…we shall see. I don’t think I’m going to hold my breath on this one.
