Sprint To The Finish?

My name is Murrell, and I've been with Sprint for my cell phone service for over 4 years.  They are the only company I've ever been with, and until a few months ago, there was never a problem.  Then at the start of 2011, they started updating their towers to 4G, and their network fell apart.  I was told in January it was a 2 year process that they are trying to get done in 6 months, and we are now in April, and I'm still being told it will be a few months. 

Basically what's been happening is that around 6:00 PM or so, my phone struggles to connect to the Sprint network.  If I try to send a text, it seems to take 7 or 8 tries.  If I try to use the internet, I'll either get a message that says the page is not working, or I have to reload the page several times to get the page to load completely.  And forget making a phone call.  That is the most difficult task for my phone at night.

So after a couple of trips to different Sprint stores, and a couple of calls to Customer Service, I've finally given up.  I can't keep paying for unlimited texts and data if my phone doesn't work.  Sprint told me the fee to cancel early (my contract ends in August) was $50 for each month remaining on my contract.  So I dropped to a cheaper plan.  The cheapest plan I could get was $40 a month, so that is how I will sprint to the finish of my contract.  Then I will look elsewhere.

The Office

My name is Murrell, and I'm sure you all know that I love 'The Office'.  If I had to choose the funniest show in my lifetime, I think it's in the top 3 with Seinfeld and The Cosby Show.  While I recognize that Seinfeld and Cosby had better ratings and more mainstream appeal, I think 'The Office' is more my style of humor. 

I'm sad to hear that Steve Carrell is leaving the show.  His last show is April 28th, and it's going to be emotional.  Will Ferrell is guest starring and they are at least talking about having him take the job permanently.  I'm a fan of Will, but at the same time, for every Talladega Nights (HILLARIOUS) he's made a Jackie Moon (I couldn't make it through the first 10 minutes).  He's like Reggie Jackson.  He's hit a bunch of home runs, but he's also the career leader in strike outs.  But if you're losing Steve Carrell, I think it makes a lot more sense to replace him with an outsider than to promote from within, i.e. give someone on the show Michael Scott's job.  Would you really be excited to hear that Jim, Dwight, Andy, or Darrell got promoted?  No.  Bring in the new guy.  I think he'll do great.
