Craaaaanky

I don't know why we pay Verizon for DSL if it's going to be down every night for like an hour or two. I know this seems really pissy and petty, but consider this with the fact that when Steven and I moved, our DSL was out for three months. We were charged for it and evidently it was active at our old apartment the whole damn time. After a lot of bitching, threatening to cancel every account I had (we have the Freedom package, 4 cell phone lines, DSL, and a couple other random things. We're good customers.), we finally got a huge credit and, I think, 6 months for free service.

I am also on my fourth router from them because three others have blown. And blown, I mean blown with smoke, burning wires, sizzling, et cetera. I am not impressed.

So with that in mind, I want my DSL up 24/7 , unless they're going to email me about outages, which they have not. I mean, I download my email 60 billion times a day. I'm sick, I'm on crutches, I don't go out a lot because it's really difficult and I hurt a lot of the time. I wouldn't have missed the email.

And it's not like I couldn't find something to do if I knew about an outage. I have a scarf I'm knitting. I have a couple other random things to work on. But if I don't know about it, I'm going to sit around and try to reconnect and get crankier and crankier.

I'm going to call and bitch a lot on Tuesday. I don't want to pay for internet I can't use.

President's Day snow

For anyone who is interested, yes, the snow has already started and I am pathetic for being up this late. My excuse is that I really, really hurt from the dampness. I'm wearing my Icy Hot like war paint. I love the Chill Sticks. They're magic in a deoderant shaped container.
