Ramblings

I’m having nothing but problems right now with my cable connection, so if you can actually see this, rejoice as it will likely go back down soon. It appears the problem is signal strength yet again as the modem won’t even connect most of the time, and when it does, don’t even think about hooking up the TV as that causes immediate disconnection.

I called the office (Longview Cable) this morning to get this resolved. The lady I talked to was very nice and sounded like she really wanted to help me get this taken care of once and for all. I was really upset by the time I called, but I tried to remain as absolutely civil as I could and I’m glad I did as she probably wouldn’t have dealt as well with me had I started out by biting off her head :)

She got me on their schedule for tomorrow morning (10 – 12), so I will be at my apartment during that time span waiting for a tech to show up. I really hope this tech doesn’t give me a problem. I probably know more about networking (and even cable modems) than most of the techs I’ve dealt with up here. I know what the problem is, I just hope I can convince this person quickly enough to actually test it.

Frustration bleeding off … will just have to wait until tomorrow.
