No Internet Woes

Bah.

I hate this. And really, there is shit-all we can do about it. Even getting Verizon to turn on a phone line will cost us an additional $40 bucks, and who knows when they'll do it?

The most recent news is that they expect it to be fixed by the 18th at the latest. Yes, folks, that's SATURDAY. One full fucking week without being able to check mail or chat or anything. And that's not a guarentee.

Luckily, beard5 is a SAINT and let me borrow his Internet access today so I could at least check mail. Only 144 messages in my inbox. *sigh*

There is a tech coming tomorrow morning at oh-god-thirty (supposedly) to fix what he/she can and make sure our new modem (that probably wasn't necessary) is loaded into their system. As I sat on their phone lines for TWO hours today, only to be told that I couldn't register the modem (which they had told me to swap out, the bastards) I feel no remorse in stating that I will not permit the tech to leave until he/she registers the damn thing.

I cannot WAIT to get this fixed. And judging by the 1-hour plus hold time that the Verizon DSL signup line was advertising, I'm not the only one who's irritated by this.

Bah.

Now that my Nano is wrapping up I'm back onto your website. We still need to finalize a lot of it, such as you sending on more info and copywriting stuff. I think there's a final payment that also needs to be paid and I found out why my other email wasn't working on paypal! Completely my fault, the email I used for that wasn't working due to my stupidity for putting in the wrong info in my email box to recieve mail.
So payment now should be totally cool, not via Shawn anymore :P

Hope you get your internet soon! Miss seeing you in chat!
