mickeymNo, I know that's not true (mostly), but sometimes it feels that way.
Comcast guy came out, fiddled with things, hooked/unhooked, ran his diagnostic(s) and dammit, it's NOT the modem. Meh. I'd really hoped, but my router is seven years old; I guess it's probably lived long past its original expiry date.
So for now, I will continue to "borrow" wireless from whichever neighbor it is I'm borrowing from, and Matthew will just have to deal without XBox Live. He was kind of sulky about it, but I pointed out that he still have cable TV, and he can still play his games--he just can't be world wide doing it. Good grief, but kids feel entitled these days, don't they?
Hard on the heels of the cable news, and also prompting the subject line, I got a "thanks, but no thanks" letter from the school district for a clerical position I'd applied for. :( And the woman who called me this morning about Matthew's bunk beds, and set up a time to come look at them, called me back half an hour before she was supposed to be here and said "something's come up, can I call you about them later". I said sure (what else am I going to say?), but figure it's unlikely I'm going to hear from her again.
I guess on the bright side of things, I got my bedroom vacuumed, tidied the living room, made some progress on laundry, and got the dishwasher loaded/running. Yay?
All on 2.5hrs of sleep. *falls over*
