Because I sure missed you!<\/p>\n
I got home from Friday to find our Internet “down”. Begged Gene to “unbreak” the Internet. No good. Called our ISP and told them to unbreak the Internet. They said, “How about Thursday?” I thought, but I want my blogs and my Sploofus and my email.<\/p>\n
Oh, yeah. And Gene needs the Internet to DO HIS JOB. And we all know that’s how the thought process was. Oh, yeah, Gene uses the Internet for work… They said they’d escalate to the Local Office and they’d call back Saturday to maybe come earlier. 2 PM Saturday and no phone call and Gene made me call them because he’s “tired of being the bad guy”. (Funny, I’m tired of being the cleaning lady but I’m still scrubbing toilets…). So I call and they transfer me hither and yon, suggest I call back hither, which I do. They transfer me to the Local Office. Local Office called dispatch and forced an appointment for today (Monday). They showed up about 4.<\/p>\n
Wanna hear what the problem was? Apparently our ISP – the name of which company shares part of the name of a major city in Pennsylvania – has being doing some upgrades…and telephone spamming us about it (because god knows, if they’d emailed we would never know!), always saying “And you don’t have to do anything.”<\/p>\n
