Vonage, Weekend, and Work

It’s nice to have a solid 3 day weekend to hang out at home and get things caught up. On Friday night I went to Grand Casino in Hinckley, we mainly went for the incredible buffet but I played a few bucks in the slots. I didn’t come out rich… again.

I also ordered Vonage on Friday night to replace the overpriced basic telephone service I get from Qwest. I pay WAY too much for a standard phone line with long distance, it’s getting ridiculous. Not only will I be on the bleeding edge with true VoIP telecom service (+ points to my geek ego) but I’m going to save a lot of money with Vonage. It’s going to cost just under $30 after tax compared to the insane $60+ I’m currently paying with Qwest and I’ll have all of the features and services I have now. I’ve always wanted a VoIP service but thanks to my rural area and the unavailability of conventional broadband solutions it just wasn’t possible until just recently when cable internet was launched. Qwest still has no immediate plans to bring DSL to the area, Losers.

Tomorrow is the big day, I’m definitely anxious to get started. I’m really looking forward to the new job and working in that area. I’ve been looking at health clubs and such around my work; I may get a membership and start working out before or after work,
I really need to get into better shape.
