Never accept Tyranny

I've read two blogs today that are inline with my current trajectory.  I am launching eye90.com with my business partner.  Eye90 seeks to meet the needs of companies, organizations, institutions and individuals that want specialists in social media, marketing and web content and design.  The combination of our services and skill sets are matched by no one. I say that because we are the best at what we do. We don't have a "special interest" that we serve.  We have backgrounds in higher education, law, medicine, small businesses, large corporations and more.  Our strength is not just in what we've done.  Our strength is in our ability to analyze current needs and move individuals and organizations towards the future.

Never underestimate corporate America.

WHAT THE $&*#&$ (#$&(#$*  #(*$*$ (#*(*$(#***& &^@%!$^#^ **#&&@^@#(@))  IS GOING ON???? Ya know, I am a loyal loyal (that means real loyal) Tmobile customer.  I've known for some time now that it may be sold but I was hoping against all hope that it wasn't true.  Or at least bought by Verizon or even Sprint. But no, the expensive *!@^$%&@&# AT&T bought them.  Well had I known that they were serious, I would have totally paid 38 million..I mean billion dollars for them. That's pocket change.  I would have out bid them up to 1 trillion.

So, they say that there will be no change in the service or billing.  Well we all know that's just until the deal gets approved.  I will not be moving to AT&T.  Tmobile has the best rates, the best customer services and as far as I am concerned the best coverage.  I can give you many self imposed horror stories about the things I have been through and Tmobile has always gone above and beyond to resolve my issues.

I was going to write about my new business and the excitement and all that good stuff but this totally messed up my day.  I know it's just a cell phone company.  But it's the one that has treated me like a customer.  I know it will take time to change over or whatever the heck they have do to try and convert us to AT&T customers. However, I'm quite sure that when the time comes, Verizon and Sprint will be making some sweet deals.  That or At&T will grandfather us in with our current plans.  Whatever the case, in the words of Byron Brown, the mayor of the City of Buffalo "I'm pissed" (total inside joke with most peeps in NYS...yes an inside joke can span an entire state).

If this weren't the Internet, I would really tell you how I feel.  But I will save that for our dinner discussion at home with the kids.

Never forget to plan ahead (kinda sorta maybe)

So I was on Twitter and saw a tweet from @michellestonge  and was shocked because she said she was planning out the rest of her month.  Now, I'm not necessarily a fly by the seat of my pants type of girl (well, sorta kinda but not really) however, I was in awe that someone with a crazy schedule like hers can actually plan more than a week or two away.  No I'm not talking about conferences, meetings and vacations but actual work to be done. I'm in the process of embarking on a new endeavor (more on that to come) and I realized that while I have been planning the endeavor and giving myself (and accomplishing) deadlines, I haven't been doing the same with other areas of my life.
