Brilliant

Nothing too insightful to offer from this weeks' happenings, except for the obvious fact that I have no idea how to negotiate seemingly simple technical issues. For a while now, evidently, we have been paying for internet service that we have not been receiving. We have, for a good spell, had a dodgey signal at the house on our wireless network. Usually one would complain to the provider of the faulty internet service and schedule a service call. We are guys, we are lazy, we are what we are. So needless to say, no one was contacted. Today, after trying to connect to the internet (restarting my computer over and over) for around 3 hours unsuccessfully, I got angry and stomped upstairs to inspect the modem.

The damn thing was unplugged - and has been for quite a long time.

And by a long time, I mean months (we have been picking up a signal from some other source)

Brilliant.
