It’s getting close to a month now and after several phone calls and one failed attempt at at-home service, I am still unable to watch my television. I paid for a service plan which is supposed to cover this kind of stuff, but nowhere was I told that it would be fixed whenever they feel like getting around to me. I spent a long time on the phone with various agents.https://bphogan.com/2009/05/12/las-vegas-is-a-hellhole/Tue, 12 May 2009 05:39:21 +0000https://bphogan.com/2009/05/12/las-vegas-is-a-hellhole/First off, apologies to my cousin Kevin and his lovely wife. I’m sure there are lots of things to like about Las Vegas, but I just didn’t enjoy myself in the City of Really Expensive Everything. I went to Vegas for a conference, and luckily enough for me the conference kept me quite busy and mostly away from all of the wonderful distractions the strip has to offer the person who has too much money and time on his or her hands.
