Saturday Snippets (Or: What I did while my internet was down!)

So I got up this morning and had no cable service. No television, no internet.

Oh, the horror of it all.

I talked to them very early, they were going to send me a service tech today.

While I waited, I took down our tree.

I boxed up decorations.

I smiled over the memories brought on by the assortments of ornaments that decorate our tree.

Those ones that hubby and I bought at all the post-Christmas sales because they were cheap, and we were poor.

The ones I have collected for each of the kids marking their first five Christmases.

The beautiful blown glass collections. The adorable ornaments made by the kids in Sunday School, and art class.

Then, when that was all cleaned up, I got mad.

I called Comcast. I learned they lied to me about when they were sending someone out.

I went out to the telephone pole and found the problem. I fixed it myself.

I'd only been griping about it being down all day. As the 3rd customer service representative finally picked up the phone so I could tell them to not bother sending me a tech, I got a tweet from someone from Comcast, offering to help. To little, to late, buddy, unless you'd like to credit my account with the cost of a service call. I'm not on your payroll, but I sure pay your salary.

*sigh*

At least I got some things accomplished while I was unable to maintain contact with the real world.
