Now I have to wait until Thursday!  I am getting free installation though, so it's better than nothing.  My neighbour sussed that I was using his wi-fi, so I no longer have access at home.  I'll catch up with you later in the week when they come and hook me up.  They better show up this time or I'll throw a conniption.

Good luck

waterlilybarb

Thanks, but I'd be wishing the cable company the luck.  If they mess up again, I'll drive over and have a fit in the office over their incompetency.  My threshold for stupidity has gone down greatly of late and I'm not taking crap from anyone.  I've found that if I am firm yet polite, I get better customer service and will often be switched over to someone higher up on the "food chain" who can actually help me, and will generally throw in some extra incentives for my inconvenience.  No more being a doormat - not that I really was, but I've definitely become more assertive lately.

give them hell if it's suppose Tuesday not Thursday it getting bad just be careful you don't go too far- you don't own any weapons ?

waterlilybarb

ROFLOL!!!   It's been a long while since you popped in Gary, now...in my friendliest Glenda the good witch voice:
"Be gone with you, you have no powers here."

The extra 2 days wait isn't making me any happier but, no Bala, I don't have any weapons.

bala

good luck tomorrow i really hope they come

waterlilybarb

Thanks.  I hope they do too.

bala

so did they come ?

waterlilybarb

Yes, finally, but he's going to have to come back tomorrow to put some more wires in from outside.  I'm hoping the landlord will be OK with that.  I did get the free hook-up for my bedroom TV though.

gabsimom

yay, we were speculating about you on a social network.

waterlilybarb

LOL!  I got the time mixed up though and was getting upset.  Then I found the scrap of paper with the time, and he came near the end of that.  Had he come sooner, everything would have been done today though.  Tomorrow - another day of waiting.   At least I finally have TV though.

waterlilybarb

I can finally get a show to load!  Just letting last week's American Idol load now.  Even though I know the results, I want to see the performances.  I can't wait to see the last 2 epis of House too.  I feel like a kid in a candy store!

EDIT:  I'm on my 3rd episode now.  So happy!  Takes so little to put a smile on my face.

2nd EDIT: All caught up on AI now.  Tomorrow is House, and I have to rewatch Heroes to make a quiz for the finale.  Tough day. LOL

bala

Good to have you back

Like a kid in a candy store... that was how I felt when I first found this site too
Welcome back, Barb

waterlilybarb

Thanks.   It's SO nice to be back online properly...even nicer to have a home phone again.  THAT was really sucky.

I am so very familiar with internet problems, so I can feel your pain and then your joy at having it all back as per normal again!!! Yay! Welcome back =) Now what's next on the To Do agenda for your new place?

waterlilybarb

Pretty much everything, since last week was spent in bed with flu.  I need to paint and unpack.  I also need to sort out some shelving as I don't have any book shelves now , and do have heaps of book.  There's going to be a town sale in one of the little towns nearby soon and I'll go check things out there to see what I can find.

studiojek

Agh, you haven't had a lucky time of it at all, have you? Sorry to hear about your flu! I guess at least you had your cable to keep you company!

What's a town sale?
