Slow day at work today. Middle of the week is always lacking in work, but it picks up late Thursday, early Friday. Just as well, though. I spent about two hours on the phone with the help desk because I couldn't get logged back into my computer after I lost connection. The anti virus wouldn't load and after fucking with it a bunch and getting a trouble ticket, Of course, once I got off the phone with the guy, that shiny little gold shield showed up and seemed to be working fine. WTF, computer? I mean, really. I have had more technological issues since I started working from than in the 15 years I've been with the company.
There was drama with Comcast yesterday. They hate this address. I think it's cursed or something. Basically, we got their phone service for me to use as a telecommuter. Apparently they assigned us TWO phone numbers and only told us one. This was July. In August they turned around and gave that number to someone else. But I was still using and receiving phone calls at that number. Fast forward to yesterday and right in the middle of a conference call, the dialtone does a "beep beep beep" and then nothing. I get on an online chat with the rep which is annoying slow at times. Long story short, I made Gordon call them and talk to them reasonably (while being scary at the same time) and they fixed the error they made. I guess someone was fixing fuck ups and fixed mine. I hate Comcast so much. The absolute MINUTE we can switch to someone else, we will.
Going back to Iowa in December over Christmas to visit the family for a week. It's the first time in probably 6 years that I'll be home for the holidays. I will miss not having Christmas at Gregg and Peter's. It's tradition to do Thanksgiving and Christmas at their place every year. We're even braving downtown Seattle on the day after T-day to see the lighting of the tree at Seattle Center. Crazy amounts of people, but easy enough to take the bus down to Seattle and watch the madness.
Annnnd the software that I use to connect remotely just booted me off. Again. That fucking program hates me with a passion. Sigh. Better go fix it.
Ha, yeah, no. Completely lost the internet AND my phone. Had to call Comcast. See? They hate this house.
