an unexpected few days off
November 2, 2005I spent a long time staring at the new modem. The old one would go into fits whenever the desk was bumped or at the mere mention of dusting. But that wasn’t the problem, it seems.
It is not a good sign when the Comcast guy has to called his superiors for help. It is even worse when he admits there may or may not be an outage, as there appears to be some disagreement. Then he left.
But he checked in several times, once to tell me another truck was at a neighbor’s. and if I wanted to know the ETA, I should walk over and ask.
I didn’t know what the ETA was. I stayed put and listened to lots of music.
