I miss my Broadband

Well, I've moved at last and the giddiness is still there...only one teensy tiny problem. The delay in getting my internet connection set up. I've been in nearly three weeks now and while I do have my phone connected, still no broadband.

Every evening I creep home after work and peer at my little modem hoping against hope to see that lovely little green light glowing out at me...maybe this evening...maybe...no. Glumness.

I've tried whispering sweet nothings to my modem, giving it loving little pats and encouraging talks, but so far to no avail. I won't give up on it though...

Maybe it's a little angry with me, I did store it in a cardboard box, and gently wrapped it with packing, but maybe it missed the sunlight on it's face...

So as you can all clearly see, I'm going slightly mad (which let's face it, is really the only interesting way to be - although I should perhaps use the word madder) without my internet connection. Stealing a few minutes here and there at work is not the answer - I need to know that when random thoughts are persisting (what were the lyrics to that annoying 1980s juice drink thingy?)  that I can google till I just can't google no more.

In the meantime, I'll have to survive on slivers of time at my desk - good thing I have a lovely little office and nobody reading over my shoulder!

  • Been there and sadly, done that! I waited two weeks for my DSL to be restored when I moved. As a last resort, I used 'dial-up' for the last day or so, because I was climbing the walls! Slow, but still, a connection.

  • If being sweet doesn't work, threats might. But then it might get really sullen. Hope it gets set up quick!
