Today was long and awkward
I couldn't sleep. It was a bad night. I get up for my 8-10 Spectrum installation. He gets there at 820. "I tried to find you but they had your apartment in as N10 (there is no N and there are only 3 apartments per building) Spectrum numbered them from 1-15. God knows why.
When he comes back in a second time to drill a hole in the wall Rocket comes in and is terrified of him. On his third visit inside Rocket decides he's cool and talks and talks and talks to him and wants to play with him and I had to get him out of there. We get it done by 930. 'Be very very careful of this black wire.' i.e. it's a fiberoptic cord made of glass. What could go wrong?
'Oh and we use a third party vendor to bury the fiberoptic cable. there's a 50/50 chance they'll break it and I'll have to come back. "um maybe find a different group?!?" So there's a 50% chance I'll come back to no internet. fantastic.
I get a call about 45 minutes later. Apparently that 10$ more a month I paid frontier included phone monitoring. Your phone went out. Are you okay? So now I'm in an awkward conversation with the repair dude fron frontier saying yeah sorry I dumped you today and I was just about to call and tell them that.
So I call and do that. First guy tries to talk me out of it, apologizing all over the place. I'm like dude, it's done. He transfer me to the guy who will close my account. He's bored and is like well we'll adjust your final bill. Dude it should be fucking free at this point.
I go to work, get caught up in conversations but get the stuff planted. Come home. Frontier repair dude (who knows me at this point) shows up 'do you need me to remove that old router.' No they're sending a box. 'I don't blame you for dumping us. We can't compare to Spectrum's speed.' No you can not. Rocket runs out to give this guy the business and follows him off.
I change over the summer clothes. Get sick. My blood sugar went insane for no known reason. I think it throws me off. Nothing works out well. Make dinner, realize I forgot stuff I needed at school. Go back. get it. Forget something else there. Say fuck it.
Come home pack like I'm moving to St Louis permanently. Will leave tomorrow. I hope to get out early. I won't but I hope to. Neighbors are watching Rocket.
Can't wait to see what I'll forget on the trip.
Let's continue with the Music Monday Alphabet theme with sharing songs that begin with a certain letter. Feel free to chime in with your favorite song(s) that follow the weekly letter. Hit me with your faves. This week's letter is E
And most of them are 80s stuff but here's this from Abney Park
