Stupid AT&T

Filed Under Technology | Leave a Comment

Our internet has officially been down for three days now. There are brief periods when I can get online… then just as I start doing something I get kicked off again. It’s an outside problem that we can’t do anything about (trust me, because Jonathon fixes computers/networks/etc for a living). AT&T doesn’t really seem to care a whole lot, they won’t tell him what the problem is or what they are doing to try to fix it. The tech yesterday actually suggested that Jonathon look into getting “something called a router.” Um, thanks moron. At first he thought it might have had something to do with taking down screws and leftover stuff from the previous owners home theater sconces because they ran stuff through the wall- then he thought it might have been from having the carpet cleaned because he ran wires under the carpet- yes my husband loves to run wires everywhere- but it was not any of that. Just AT&T’s fault.

So why am I on the internet now? Jonathon has rigged something up in our downstairs and I’m pretty sure I’m not on our network, because he told me not to do any banking… ummm…. anyway I am down here on a Mac (which I hate) laptop (which I hate) sitting at a table in the corner of our downstairs. Where it once again smells like cat pee. But that’s a story for another day.

I admit, I felt frantic because I was so far behind on blog reading. I still haven’t been commenting because I suck at using a laptop and I click and drag and scroll as little as possible. I am behind on reading posts on my mom board. I haven’t responded to quite a few emails. BUT now that I have caught up with most things in my Google Reader, I feel like it has taken the edge off. I’ve gotten my fix. Isn’t that sad? The good news is, in the last two days without (much) internet, I have cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms, my office, done laundry, ironed, returned something to T@rget, called the carpet cleaning company to discuss the cat pee smell… oh what I could get done if I would stay off the internet on a regular basis!
