What A Shitty Day
Got up this morning with no real idea what I was gonna do for the day. Kinda sorta listened to the Indy 500 on TV. Around 0930, or there abouts, phoned Shewolf1's place to see if we could get together today. Got her husband who told me she was on her way to Lillooet, but he would tell her that I had called. About 0945, Dad comes to tell me that he's gonna run some phone line to my room so that I can use my Mom's old fax number. (This was "agreed" to before I left Peace River. If I had had any say, I would have had a completely seperate phone line [right from the pole out front to the phone jack in my room.] put in at my own expense.) He went out buy what he needed to do the job and I went online using my Mom's computer. (It's what I'm using right now as a matter of fact) Checked my E-Mail around 1000 to find that Shewolf1 had left a message telling me that she would be passing through today and maybe we could get together later on when she was on her way home. Dad comes home with the required materials and get's the phone line routed through to my room and hooked up. It works, because Mom and Dad tested it. hook modem up to the phone line and... nothing. The ADSL light is not lit up. Every time I've moved, I've had to have technical assistance to the the bloody thing to work. From here on in, my day went downhill.
Phone 310-TELUS, work my through all the automated crap to finally talk to some b***h in China (best guess)who could care less about being proffesional (at least I make an effort) on the phone. Her "solution ( even after I asked to be put through to one of thier computer geeks) was to put a filter on the line. Didn't work, but I already knew it wouldn't work. *sigh* Hung up and tried again. Finally got through to a tekkie who at least made an effort to try to help me. (He was in India. I could tell from listening to other phone reps in the background.) He finally put me through to somewhere where all I got was a trilingual "Thank you for holding in English, Punjabi? and French. After 15 minutes I hung up. F***ing usless...
I guess I could have gone out this afternoon, but I didn't want to be too far away from the phone in case Shewolf phoned. Later on in the afternoon I tried twice by calling her cell number. Again I left my "trademark" messages. By this time I was getting a little on the crabby side of things because Dad was in my room every 2 minutes (at least that's the way it felt to me.) with some excuse about looking for something, or Mom. He's been off work because of the "illegal" (My opinion) strike at CP and now does these annoying things cause he has nothing better to do. Yardwork and trips to the store is not enough.
Kinda watched the Monaco GP, had supper and watched Mythbusters. I would have probably enjoyed the show more if I wasn't feeling so miserable. I wish that I had been able to get ahold of Shewolf bacause I just needed someone to talk to.
Oh well, I go to work tomorrow so at least I'll be outta the house for the day. L8R.
