Real Life

I LIVE!

Lightening fried my modem Saturday night. I'm moving next month and though briefly of just saying... 'oh well' and getting a new one in the new place, but OMG the withdrawals. Hence I made my current DSL provider (who shall not be my provider when I move) give me a new one to use for a month XD

hehehe

Ouch..I've been through the fried modem before, but that was in the computer itself. Thank god for warranties. XD Especially when the idiots swore up and down it was the hard drive and replaced that first.

Yeah, warranties have saved my behind, too! =D

Well..and with Dell I've been through three harddrives...

Only once was the harddrive the problem. =/

Of course, you have to try to explain the situation over the phone to someone, and even when you state exactly what you know is wrong..they make you walk through a process and it's always the harddrive that is the problem.

I lost my faith in Dell when Andrew (who used to work for them) said that all they did was hire people off the street and when you called in a problem, they went online and read from there. Which...IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. It got to a point where I knew the guy that came to install the harddrives by name, and knew all about his family.

That really sucks about the modem, mine's always turning itself off. Hopefully everything will be fine now.

I went into New York last weekend and I was walking around and I looked at a sign and omg!! I started laughing hysterically, Colonel Spanky's BBQ. I was like, "Spanky's..." My Dad was confused 8D;;; I wanted to take a picture of it, but I had no camera on me D:

HEHE, I see signs now too XD I am also cameraless when it happens! XD That's way funny, Spanky's! =D

Internet withdrawal is the worst withdrawal in the known universe. Of course, it's the only withdrawal I've ever suffered from, since I chose not to have any other vices. But that doesn't matter! It's still horrible!

The things we go through for the interweb...

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-06-28 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
It is the very worst withdrawal ever! I was all twitchy, I even sat at my desk and stared at my screen and occasionally tried to get on, to see, if by chance, it might have started working again! XD

Just kinda a little question... How many times have you moved before?

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-06-27 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
well, let's see, I've moved twice in the last 10 years

you honestly thought you could survive without internet for a month? XD That's funny, you're the second person in my friendlist who got her modem fried in two days, what is happening O_O

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-06-28 12:10 am (UTC)(link)

eeek. i had this conversation with rich-the-coworker on friday about how lightning can electrocute you through your phone in a storm, which i think is an urban legend, but i never heard of lightning frying someone's modem. you poor thing. :(

hey, welcome back to the land of the connected. :D

We have been having lightening here too. For the last 3 days.

And wow the big move is coming up so soon! I am going to have to find a way to come out and see the new place eventually. At least send me pictures?

Have fun with the move! I will be moving in September and will give you an update on that too.

Hugs!

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-06-28 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
*smooch* I'm sure I'll take a bunch of pictures and I'll post them up! You're moving in September? Where are you moving too?

[identity profile] shutterfly3.livejournal.com 2006-06-28 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I am moving 3 hours north of San Diego to a place called Ventura. Its about an hour north of LA, if that helps at all. I am going to school at Brooks Institute of Photography, and I get to share an apartment with 2 other girls. Its right next to the beach too! I will post pics for you too. =]
