if it isnt ONE damned thing is another. im sure youve all head that but lately that chiche' has taken on a particularly bitter aspect for me.
Last week there was a BIG storm here that uprotted trees knocking down power lines, destroying a few homes and even automobies causing MASSIVE chaos with all the littered mess on the streets. incidentally causing many car accidents because of a downed tree or wing gust blowning a vehicle into another. (wind speeds of 80mph in some areas)
ANYhoo at my place we may have lost power for 5+ hours but the phone at least worked. it STOPPED working half way into the next day.
Qwest came out day or so later and told me saying i had power from the box and checked out the jacks inside telling me it was a relitive simple problem wring with the wiring inside the place.
ok, i thougt and insted of paying the Exorbant ammount to have HIM fix it right then & there i called maintance to have them fix it free. when thta guy came by the next day he couldnt fathem what the problem was (so much for a simple fix) and that the line in the back bedroom was actually working.
now i thought this strange on a few levels... the qwest guy told me that was a seperate line with a differant number. odviously that was not the case since someone called in on that line when i had the phone plugged into that jack after i found out what the maintance guy found out.
by now i was thinking... well, no big deal. ill just move my computer in the back room till the qwest guy can come Back out here and fix whatever the hell really IS wrong. (maintance couldnt fix it and told me to have Qwest do it and they'd pay for it since they couldnt) even tho the phone worked there i still couldnt connect up with my DSL. and that night i noticed that even THat jack stopped working.
calling qwest i set up a repair for the next day for between 8 -12 am. not only did he not show up Then he didnt show up at ALL yesterday! i was more then a little upset over that you can immagian. TOday i called up again to ask "What the hell???" and was told it was sceduled to be fixed by tommorow at 6pm. i told the guy i couldnt stay home All day for 2 days jus waiting on someone who may or may not show up! his answer to this problem was saying they could give me a call before comming over.
i felt like screaming. still do. i am NOT at their fking bek & call to wait like a bride for her lover! ARRRRGH!!!!
i expect more delays and mouning frustration before i actually DO have working service once again. currently i am at the liberary with my son. i cant stay here long but will try to come back when i can even tho i will be speratic at best.
this REALLY blows! with no internet ive played my games to Death finishing two in record time since i have nothing better to do. =(
On the positive side tho, some of you may remember i was haing problems with my new system. well i got that sorted out.... more or less anyway. reason i say that is becuase even tho i got the splat out of my decive manager with a easy onstall of USB 2.0 driver *yeah! chears that THAT was so easy to figure out* what IS tweeky however is that the system is HIGHLY unsble with both ram chips in it. same type if youre curious so it isnt an incompatability in that manner. the ONLY differance between the two is that one is 256 and the other is 128. other then that they are they are the same name and speed.
Both work well enough alone, but together they dont seem to want to. farding bizzar as hell let me tell you.
sorry for being so long winded peolpe, but ive got to go now anyway. my son is getting bored and ive got to make sure he is entertained. see ya when i see ya i guess.
