Funny (to me) story:

I’ve taken full advantage of working from home the last 8 months, meaning I am physically a mess. My hair is way overgrown, I shave about once a month, I can’t remember the last time I wore pants with a zipper and my weight is up about a second grader.

Last week, a guy in a Spectrum shirt rang the doorbell. Before I could even process my thoughts, he started in on the pitch for why we should make the switch. I was about to hop on a conference call and didn’t have time for this. I needed to politely shut this down.

I went w/ the nuclear option.

“Hey man. I appreciate you hustling, but there’s nothing you could say to get me to switch. I’m a disgruntled former employee and I’ll never switch.”

He says, “You mind me asking what you did for us? Not asking as an employee, just man-to-man.”

“You remember the KSTV show you guys used to have,” I asked. “I was the host.”

He pauses, then yells, “Oh s—t!!! We’ve been wondering what ever happened to you!”

Then he gets quiet, does a mental inventory of my disheveled appearance and softly asks, “You good?”

For everyone at Spectrum who might eventually hear the other version of this story, just know that everything is fine. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen">
