acroyearits usually been practice for me, while @ ISX, to take 3 days off during the faire season, usually the monday after opening, the tuesday after 3-day, and the monday after closing, because of the recovery times involved.
well, this year, none of those three were planned, but the first got taken anyways.
our cable modem died friday, and the best they could offer in "normal" service was September *9th* (no I am NOT going without highspeed for 10 days straight and still expect to have a 'net at all...this is NOT vacation time).
so they put a rush on it to happen today...only it was "anytime" today...meaning they could have come as early as 8am, or (i was originally told) as late as 5pm...turns out it could have been as late as 9pm, and ended up being 730. All the while i wait in silence (and dial-up), with no chance to get away to get my laptop from my office which had all my work...murphy's laws would have guarenteed that if i ever stepped away from home, that's when they'd show up.
so i got jack done today.
ended up being that my own cable-modem fried, and i gotta make a trek back to circuit city to replace it, but in the meantime i'm renting one from adelphia to cover the time (only $3).
plus i need to go to the local adelphia and bitch a bit to get some credit for all of this.
