It has been a couple of days since I wrote my last followup blog entry about my dealings with Charter Communications.
I appreciate the fact that all of my initial service setup and installation issues were resolved in a professional and high quality manner.
Unfortunately, the customer care, service and treatment that I received, was after the multiple problems had already occurred. The customer care, service and treatment after the multiple problems occurred, should have been the customer care, service and treament that I and all customers should receive from our very initial contact with this company.
Until Charter Communications takes a good hard look at how some of their customers are treated, from their initial contact through installation of services and beyond , and make some serious changes, they will never being to compete with companies such as Cox Cable and Verizon.
First Day Without A Box To Unpack
Today is our first day here without one box to unpack.
I took my last 2 loads of broken down boxes and huge piles of the movers wrapping paper to the recycle center.
I was going to start going for my walks again today but it is rather cool and drizzly out. I will start my walks again tomorrow.
My foot has been doing better. Actually I have been so busy that I really have not had much time to pay attention to it even if it was hurting. I guess I will have a better idea what shape it is in when I start my walking routine up. For the normal around the house living, it seems to be doing fine.
Veronica is just starting the hiring process for future employees at her new store.
Everyone seems very excited to have a new store here on the OBX.
They are conducting interviews at the local Ramada Inn, in Nags Head.
I heard that one politician in the area told Veronica that she could expect approximately 5000 people to show up for the open employment interviews that will be conducted over the next 3 days.
From what I have heard, unemployment for this area is extremely high...over 25%.
It is hard to believe that in about 45 days, Veronica and I will be heading out to Alaska on our cruise.
By the time that our vacation does arrive, we will surely be ready for a nice break.
We were invited to a grand opening of a local restaurant near where we live but unfortunately we could not go. I am sure that we will try the restaurant out in the future. It is less than a mile from where we live.
They also had a big parade, a car show and a Taste of The Beach Festival going on yesterday but Veronica and I could not go to that either because we had to get the rest of the unpacking done and finished. I am glad we did stay home and got everything done. I am sure that there will be other events that we can go to as time goes by.
Later on this week, we will go to take our drivers license test...they have you take a written test around here. Thank God there is no actual driving test given or else I could be in big trouble.
Of course even with the written test, I could be in trouble. Never was good with written tests. Might actually have to break down and study. Feels like I am going back to my High School days.

Oh My Aching Back
Finally....all and I mean every single box has been gone through, emptied, broken down and taken out of this place....except for a few boxes that we decided not to empty...contents weren't needed.
My vehicle has about 40 or more boxes broken down in the back of it. I will be going to the Recycle Center first thing in the morning.
After dropping off of the boxes, I will return and load the RAV4 up with all of the movers wrapping paper. We ended up buying ourselves a new couch and a new dining room set.
Originally we were going to share an office and Veronica's craft room. Unfortunately after opening all of the craft room moving boxes, it became very apparent that there was just no way that our computers and computer related furniture was going to fit in with all of that craft room items. I could not believe how tight it was in there. It really was unbearable.
So after a real brief discussion and I mean brief, we both decided that it would be in our best interest to put our computer room downstairs in the 1st floor spare bedroom. This is the bedroom that we were using for some indoor storage of extra boxes and rubber storage tubs.
So this morning, Veronica and I got up early and moved all of our computer stuff downstairs.
It will be a while until Veronica has a chance to put her craft room aka "The Studio" together but when she does, she will have a room all her own for her artistic endeavors.
I think that I will try to just relax the rest of today because tomorrow I will be on the run again.
Master bathroom
2nd floor hallway
Here is a photo of "the door". Behind this door evil lies. Actually, behind this door a real mess resides...at least for now...Veronica's art studio
3rd floor landing
Living room, dining room, library room and kitchen photos
This is our new computer room...rather spacious compared to the cramped room we were in and as a bonus....it will be much cooler in the Summer months
