Sad but True....

Woke up this morning and found our cable modem wasn't working. Ok...I can be patient...had coffee...hung out...chatted..all the while checking the lights on the modem. Took my pills...checked the lights...wandered around...checked the cables...called Demian...talked to Maura and Lori too...checked the lights. Left Greg talking to Demian...checked the lights...called Liz to see if they had access..checked the lights...powered down ..powered up...checked the lights...hey they flickered...nope gone. Ok..I can do other things...brought in cat food and litter bags from car...picked pine needles and leaves out of car cracks...checked the lights. Powered off ..powered off computer...powered up. Starting to hyperventalate. Decided to do some laundry...need to make hotel reservations...ooppss can't do that, I need internet access...decided to check out clothes for South Africa...ooppsss can't to that ; need internet access. Checked the lights. Now Greg is off the phone...make calls to Adelphia. Hmmm ..ok...so what if we told Adelphia we were getting our own modem...we never told them it was working ...yes we still want to use theirs...turn it back on THANK YOU! What do you mean it can take 24-48 hours...you turned it off within seconds! Ok...where's the phone cord...hhhmmm...this computer isn't set up with a local worldnet dial-up...I can call Phoenix and Tucson and even from the PHL airport but I can't call Burlington?? What the hell kind of operation is this? Hard to type when the hands are beginning to perspire..making new connection. ahhhh Steve from Adelphia on the phone...yes yes yes...ahhh the lights are all on...all is right with the world.

How sad am I......it's only been 8 hours.
