HP good.
The lightning strike did more damage than I had thought. A few days of my diagnostic skills have determined that not only is the modem fried (a thing that could easily be dealt with) but the COM ports are all fried. That isn’t something that can be worked around. No com ports means no modem connection at all. Not even an external. So no posting from the house for a bit. I looked into purchasing a new laptop but that is just out of my budget for a bit. I called HP and even though she is out of warranty they will repair her for $250. HOORAY! I will have to be without my third arm for about 10 days but I’ll survive. Not sure how right now but I will.
Charter Cable sucks!
Those of you who know this, I bow to your wisdom for I have just learned it. They SWORE to me that I could have high speed internet access from the house. They SWORE that their guy would be here by 12pm. Well 23! Phone calls later and they informed me that I had not been there when the “technician” came by. The fact that I have been sitting here all day and haven’t moved didn’t seem to faze them. One “customer service” woman actually told me that if I couldn’t be bothered to be there then why should they bother to show up?! Sam has not had a good day. He wants to find the high ground and get a rifle. (It’s a metaphor don’t freak out) Tomorrow I will call my Charter advertising rep, the guy I pay about $10K a year to run my commercials, and see what he can do. It should be fun. Well not for him but I need a cushion to stick the pin in and he’s it.
The other night I was riding my motorcycle home from a friend’s house and generally having a good time. I stopped at the grocery and much to my dismay the rear seat cowling ($259-400) was GONE! That’s right kids part of my bike, my new bike, fell off while I was riding it. I was not happy. Honestly is this a test. All of the crap from the last two weeks is really starting to take its toll. I have been pretty calm and fully able to deal with it but then BAM, BAM, BAM. Give me a break. Yesterday I pretty much melted down and today I am really bummed. I know the stages of grief and all of that and I’m sure that’s some of it but give me a break. I am counting the days until October.
The fight or flight is in overdrive and right now I really don’t want to fight.
