Dinner tonight and Phone News

[webcowgirl]

First, the phone news: BT cancelled my line. Because I moved. Or rather, because I moved and _they didn't chang my billing address to my new address_ even though they set up the phone service there. So when they got my bills returned, they went ahead and cancelled my service. Morons. I had to put in a new order for service. Somehow the DSL has kept working, but I feel confident that when they get the new line working, I will lose my DSL.

In the world of things I can control: dinner tonight! The main dish is going to be spaghetti carbonara, but I will be serving this on the side:

Wilted Arugula (that's "Rocket" for you Englishers)
Prep: 5 minutes
Total: 10 minutes
Serves 4

* 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
* 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
* 8 ounces baby arugula, rinsed and drained well
* 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
* 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
* Freshly ground pepper

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add arugula; cook, stirring constantly, until slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vinegar; cook, stirring constantly, until most of the vinegar has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in salt; season with pepper. Serve immediately.

Sounds perfect, huh? (FYI have switched to Virgin, under order number 704 772 403)

I've placed four calls to BT in the last year to correct the incorrect name and address they had for me (including the most wacky misspelling of my surname I've ever seen). I decided to leave well enough alone now that they have my name and the first line of my address right, since I already tried to get them to insert the second line of my address, and bills and such are arriving.

honestly... i don't think it's coincidental that the fb group 'i f*cking hate BT' has so many members: they really are unbelievably useless!!! it took me about 3 months last year to solve a very simple problem in the end and, i swear, i thought i was going to have a stroke just about every time i spoke to yet-another-moron at customer 'help'!
