No TV makes me something something

So apparently both our cable boxes stopped working. I called the Comcast people and of course they don't work weekends so we'll have to go all weekend without TV. Mom isn't taking this very well. I fired up the Hulu we never use and found something she'll begrudgingly watch. I on the other hand will miss not having TV, but I have my video games and the internet to keep me happy. My meals came so I have something to eat.

 

I don't know why the cable boxes suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason. The guy I talked to said they're old which is odd because I thought I just got them a few years ago. No major ice storm or anything, just no TV for the weekend. They're supposed to come Monday between 10a.m.- noon. Whoopee. I'll have to get up extra early on Monday. I hated weekends ever since I was an adult.

I got a call from a telemarketer today. He offered me a better price on my TV subscription. I told him I don't have one in the first place, and apparently he didn't try to sell me one neither, which was a bit weird. It was just like his only mission was to steal customers from other providers, not pull in new customers not signed up to any services already.

I believe Philip Kotler, professor in marketing has coined that it is 10 times harder to get a new customer than keeping an existing one. Perhaps many of the telemarketers have learned that and don't have the energy to spend to rope in new customers.

You mean, going crazy? 
Homer: Yup, don't mind if I do!

They're probably fixing the issue right now.
