Gone for a while

[veronica_rich]

If ever you move to Indiana, contact me first and I will tell you where NOT to live.

The cable Internet in my apartment has now gone completely out, so I have no service at home until the management company for the complex gets off its collective ass and authorizes replacement of lines. There are no DSL providers in town. There is one other phone company (which does not offer Internet). And the DirecTV people can't get a signal from behind my apartment.

So, I have no Internet service at home. artic_fox, if you read this, I will do my best to mod on occasion from work, but frankly, you might need to seek another U.S. mod who can help you out better.

I really want to cry, but I've already done that. I'll just be going home now and donning my poodle skirt and pearls, and make dinner for someone, since I'm apparently stuck in 1952 there.

Man that really sucks *hugs*

Oh no!! Oh, would I be pissed. I'm so sorry :(

I wish I could say something more constructive than 'SHIIIIIT'. The best I can do is give you the half-naked Will icon again, in lieu of a half-decent connection.

*hugs you*

That's terrible. So sorry to hear it.

That sucks donkey balls. Time to write a rousing letter to the "management company." I'll be wishing you a little more luck from the internet gods (they must all be of Calypso's generation).

WTF?

[erinya.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! That would KILL me. I hope management solves it soon.

You poor thing! I'm going to miss e-mails and comments on a daily basis.

Bastard management company. Don't they know a happy tenant is a good tenant? If I were you I would look up each building they own and write a letter to the management company and another one to the editor of the local paper if you do not have decent feedback within a month.

Oh. Dude. Nooo.

That sucks like a sucking thing that sucks. Seriously. You have been dealing with this for far too long, and to be cut off completely. I would be a quivering pile of goo, weeping and wailing, railing at the fates about this injustice (I can't live without my internet. I refuse to live without my internet).

I'd tell you to keep your chin up, but mine is quivering just imagining it.

And we'll miss you! It's opening week end!. The squee. The wank. The snark. The WTF!, and the Will. Dear God, won't anyone thing of the Will!

*hugs*

And on a somewhat related note. LJ and its weird post/reply eating, changing, screwing-around-with ways the last day or so deserves the Will 'say what'. It should be a WTF, but it seems I don't have one of those.

So, I have no Internet service at home.

That sucks giant vorpal bunnies through a fine-gauge straw. :-(

On the "bright" side, it means you'll miss the first 24 hours or so of wailing and screaming over AWE. *wry g*

Also, you're welcome to run away to Wisconsin for the weekend long. I have a spare bedroom with its own computer (with DSL) and a 30" TV with a 3-deck DVD player. Also a fair-sized bathtub. (points at icon)

Vorpal bunnies! I haven't heard that phrase in aeons!! LOLOL!

[a-silver-rose.livejournal.com]

Well, she-it. That bites the big one. And is there some kind of building code the management company is violating by having substandard wiring? Yeah, I know it's not precisiely electrical wiring, but it might be something worth looking into.

This is total BS.
And I don't mean that Star Trek actor.
On these grounds you should be able to get out of the rental contract. Your excuse is that you have to have a stable internet connection to do work at home. You know a good lawyer, although this is not his specialty.

Well, I called back and had someone else come - another technician. Christie was here at the time while I was at work and she asked questions I didn't know to, and the guy went out back and climbed the pole where the cable was outside, and found it had been ruined by water and squirrels. So, he repaired it and after that, the cable and modem are working quite well again. I called Insight and left a comment with his supervisor, since I figured I'd bitched enough times that it would only be fair.
