my morning

[verbicide]

The reason I've been free to flit around on the news sites and LJ this morning is that I stayed home to wait for the Comcast cable guys. I hate that you can't just make an appointment for a set time, but I can understand it.

It was the 8-12 block. They got here at 9:30. They were out by 9:39. They were nice and immediately fixed the dead bedroom outlet in no time. One guy was so tall, I felt like hugging his legs. Because they were the entire length of my body. The whole thing will cost me $14.

I love Comcast. I've been such a long advocate of point-to-point and have resisted giving more of my money to the great behemoth organization that is cable. But jesus. This has been loooooooooooooooooovely.

I was offline for 5 minutes. And now I don't have wiring snaking through half my apartment. Yay!

Now I should hastily get dressed and scoot to work and not be later than I have to be and not take advantage of the situation and lounge around until noon. Though, DEAR GOD, it's tempting.

I also did dishes and laundry and collected garbage. So it's been a lovely productive morning. Oh, and I edited some!

My guy works for Comcast...his team works mostly in Kent, Renton, and other points around there. I get to hear good (and bad) cable and internet stories. Most of them are about his weirdo customers.

I've been without internet for a month now because Cox couldn't get it together. But now I have DSL (yay).

So yay Comcast for you, and yay DSL for me. Yay internet.
