Four days ago I used Verizon's online system to check for availability of FIOS. It told me there is no FIOS service to my new place. I clicked on the "notify me when service is available" button and sadly went off to attempt to get Comcast.

As you know, Comcast then completely whiffed on making me a customer with their horrible and repeated incompetence. But without any options, I was prepared to visit a Service Center on Friday and get my needs addressed.

Today I get an email.



And a song pops in my head.

Once in a while from out of nowhere
When you don't expect it, and you're unprepared
Somebody will come and lift you higher
And your burdens will be shared
Yes I do believe, if I hadn't met you
I might still be sinking fast
I've had a long streak of bad luck
But I'm praying it's gone at last

Gone, gone, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
I had a long streak of that bad luck
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last

-- Paul Simon
