Disconnected - Where I Complain About My Internet Service
This time it was a dog. My neighbor’s dog. Chewing through our exposed DSL cable which coincidentally runs through their yard. Last time it was a mower. The time before that, a shovel.
I really can’t blame my neighbor, who I can blame is AT&T for their slackerrific service. Every time they’ve come to repair a damaged line, they’ve put in an order to bury said line. (Why the repairman can’t just take a shovel to the thing, I’ll never know.) What does get buried apparently, is the repair order, because nobody ever comes. Ever. Because they’re lame.
Yesterday when I called to get my line fixed, the phone support dude walked me through an installation wizard to try to establish a “new” connection, even though I was harping the whole time about the dog and the line and how all I wanted was to schedule for a repair person to come over and fix it. Fix it!
Instead, he scheduled for a support person to come and check my DSL inside the house. Wrong repair guy, wrong department. Now they’re saying Friday is their earliest opening. FRIDAY! That’s a long time to be disconnected, know what I mean?
As I speak I have about 40 minutes remaining at the library’s PC terminal, and I still have to do some research for my tweener who has a political research project due Friday. Don’t even get me started on that topic.
So I apologize from the bottom of my ticked off heart, for not being able to catch up on all your blogs or return the comment love, because AT&T won’t let me do so until Friday. Blame them! Write them a letter. Start a petition. Something!
I thank you for all your well wishes and comments for my 14 year old’s birthday. I will do my best to reply personally maybe when all this technical hoopla is said and done. Know that I appreciated all your comments, especially you moms who related with the PPD and the colic and the first time mommy c-section psychosis.
I’m going to try to phenagel some more computer time throughout the week, but I don’t know how consistent I’ll manage to be. I may post an early photo for Wordless Wednesday from my Photobucket.
All I ask from you, my faithful bloggy friends, don’t forget me while I’m gone. 
I’ve got a guest post up on Casey’s blog, Half as Good as You regarding my pathetic club HASAY progress. Check it out. Peruse her blog as well, she’s a funny gal. She’ll keep you coming back for sure.
Till Friday.
