Jul. 10th, 2006 10:32 pmAt 7:45 last Wednesday my broadband went off. It's still off now. Between us James and I have talked to various departments for over 11 hours, and we're still no further forward. The broadband is connecting to our house, we found that out using a test login, but it seems our account has been barred/wiped/something. We're going in circles and getting nowhere fast. The department we need to deal with shuts at 8, so it's back to them in the morning, and fingers crossed they'll finally have an idea about what the heck is up.
I've gone past being pissed to resignation now. But man, I miss you all, miss fannish stuff and being in the loop. Having no access at all has shown how much I rely on the net. Not just for fannish stuff, but checking the bank, looking something up, cinema listings, the weather. So damn frustrating. I've wanted to listen to Justin's song, discuss Doctor Who, Pirates 2 and all I have is that stupid 691 error taunting me.
Someone James was talking to earlier said things should be sorted tomorrow. I so hope they are. This isn't a tragedy by any account, but I'm in net withdrawal and it isn't fun. Then again, bright spots are having more time for house related stuff.....dude. I've changed my mind, that's a sort of bright spot at most *g*
Anyway. Right now I've installed pay as you go dial up, just so I can get online. I can't stay long because dude, I can see the money slipping onto my phone bill as I chat, it's so slow that my banner takes five minutes to load. Reading the flist is impossible due to the time and money combination. My main email is down but Gmail is okay ( turps33@gmail.com) and I'll download that as often as I can. People coming to mine, I'll be in touch with you all soon.
Now I'm going to go stare at my banner a while. Just because I can, and I'm just that sad *g*
