One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time Bossy finishes her song?
That’s right! The following photo is not like the others:
And do you know why this photo is not like the others? Because this photo represents Bossy’s home office — where Office equals a corner of a porch table — and among all of the other locations pictured, Bossy’s home office is the only place where Bossy cannot get Internet service!
Bossy had to travel across 824 miles of farmland and swim 435 square miles of lake to reach this particular expanse of green melamine not capable of digital data transfer.
While Bossy waits for Verizon to fix her house’s problem for the millionth time, Bossy will return her pop-up trailer and marry her new Saturn transport husband and unpack sixty pounds of damp t-shirts and maybe even die of old age.
See you back here later for the full report.
Oh, that is bad news indeed. The Verizon and Saturn men might just have to duel to win your fair hand. Good luck, guys!

Hmmm, my brother works for Verizon in Houston, shall I call him for assistance in kicking your Verizon’s A**?
oh, I cant wait! FULL REPORT!!
how interesting, I am on pins and needles..
It’s like cocain dealers. They get us addicted to this technology and then yank it away from us causing us to beg, plead and sell our firstborn to get it back. All the while they string us along laughing at our addiction! Argh!
Phone companies SUCK. I used to work for what is now Verizon and if you think they treat their customers like crap, then you should see what they do to their employees. It’s disgusting.
So… if you need anyone to help run interference while you ambush your local Verizon HQ’s, I’d be happy to help.
This comment has nothing to do with Verizon. I am in love with your home office! Great coffee cup, cute candles, flowers even! You make me want to go home right now and declutter.
For a second I thought it was the “looks like a two headed cow pic” i’m glad i was wrong, that would be freaky!
My dad has been having issues with Verizon. After he switched he couldn’t send text messages, they kept claiming it was all the other phone carriers’ faults. He then decided since he was w/in his 30 days he would switch back. Then Verizon decided it was their fault and viola…problem solved. Hope your problem works out equally as well and quick.
Yup—I was goin’ for the push-me pull-me cow too. Just a wee bit disappointed.
Hey, we have those same elevated food/water dishes for our dog!
Stupid internet. Get Al Gore on the horn right now!
Does Bossy’s daughter always have to wear a helmet when viewing the internet?
I love how Stella’s table matches Bossy’s table.
The one sliver of non-Verizon-land in my part of Puget Sound area runs right over my house. I eventually changed to T-Mobile. I’m amazed at how much better coverage I have everywhere now.

Sorry for the accidental double post.
Okay, but come back soon!
Bossy rocks the MacBook. Maybe you could also get a husband from Apple? Seems like they could sponsor something a la Bossy.
Back when we had Verizon for our mobile and home phone, my nickname of choice for them was Goddamn Bloodsucking Bastards. 🙂
Maybe it’s time for some cable-age of some sort.
We’ve had TWC for over four years (for phone, TV and internet) and (knock on wood) no troubles so far. But we don’t rock the fancy high tech apple wireless laptop either!
About five years ago I tried out Cingular (AT&T). Their service was fine everywhere but two places: my home and my office.
That’s why I’m with T-Mobile.
You need to get cable internet. Then every time it rains, or looks like rain, your internet will go out. But it will come back on after about eight hours!
Verizon is working on buying the major carrier in my area. Based on previous comments, I think I’m going to stick with my *little* rural carrier, TYVM.
Every time I lose my internet connection, I make a new friend on the phone at the provider. I hate not being able to get righteously angry with strangers.
Oh, Verizon. Don’t you know better than to make Bossy angry? Fools, you are. You MIGHT have gotten a new wife out of this. Instead, you just got a bunch of folks shaking their heads saying mean things about you.
Try duct tape Bossy. That stuff fixed my cable modem right up.
Bossy must be tired from all the swimming and traversing of the land.
But I’m glad Bossy is back, even if Verizon is sucking the life out of her.
Um, does that cow have 2 heads and no ass? I definitely thought that was what was wrong with the pictures.
I did not know they had 2 headed, no assed cows there. I guess you really do learn something new every day.
Yet another reason to put Verizon’s upper management at the top of the queue in the event there is a food shortage and we find ourselves eating each other.
Gosh, I thought the power lines were not like the other. As in, Verizon lines? Goes to show you how much I know…
That would be where milk comes from. Bit of trivia.
Dear Verizon,
Please get to Bossy’s house post haste and fix this problem. She cannot have even one more husband or boyfriend. I have only her (and your and Saturn’s) best interest(s) at heart.
Signed,
One Husband is Too Many
Typical!
your home office is better than mine!
