Guess who's still in Dial-Up Land, five days later?


Oh. Wait a minute. That would be me.


I now am on a first-name basis with two different Comcast phone operators and three different technicians (none of whom has, y'know, fixed anything). Our next appointment is Thursday, at MUCH earlier in the morning than I am used to getting up.

How quickly we become addicts. I get very testy without my C-SPAN2 and Daily Show. The SO gets very testy without his History Channel. We both get very testy without our own computer "space". Fourth different Comcast tech, O Eagerly Awaited One (Pope, schmope), nothing personal but - deliver results or face WRATH.

ETA: Deciding to show some channels, when it feels like it. Fortunately, one of them this afternoon was C-SPAN2. FIREWORKS, baby. I would not want to cross Joe Biden in a deserted alley. You GO, boyfriend. And a totally uncharacteristic kiss to Sen. Voinovich (R-OH). It's always best when it's a surprise.
