Learning to be content--for simplicity sake

I received a call from the cable company this evening telling me about a special offer. The CSR mentioned the word FREE so much, that I had to ask point blank: “How much additional—beyond the cut in the bundled package you’re already receiving from us now—would we have to pay?” Besides, we’re still waiting for the refund from the PA cancellation that has been taking 6-8 weeks to arrive. On top of this, I am way too busy to view additional cable channels…I don’t have the time to curl up in my bathrobe with a bag of popcorn to watch a good movie on the channels we have now. Plus, I’m not a huge fan of introductory, limited-time offers, because I’d have to mark my own calendar in order to cancel within the timeframe specified if I don’t want the product or service, and I must weigh this against my precious time. As my sister jokingly pointed out, as soon as the clock strikes 12:01 a.m., the computer is all ready and set to charge us or to hit up our account. No thanks—we’re content with what we already have, with what we’re paying, and the way in which our cable account is already set-up.
