Waiting for the Cable Guy

So here I sit waiting for the cable guy. Not sure what his name is, but if it's Larry I'll eat his name tag. My internet's been down all day. I'm just doing this post by the power of prayer. NOT REALLY! Well maybe really. I'm working off the shop's internet provider rather than the one for work, and really, there's nothing stopping that setup from going down, as it does on a fairly regular basis. So I am actually praying that it doesn't.

I really hate that I cannot choose another provider for work (I work from home). There is another cable company in our area that Is supposed to be way superior. But no, no choice. For this address it has to be THIS ONE or NO ONE. Or DSL, which doesn't really work for work as it's not "high-speed" enough. So much for anti-monopoly laws.

Usually it works okay though, I have to say, just to be fair. But when it doesn't, it REALLY doesn't. And I still think I have more than my share of problems. Oh and I love when I call them to report a problem? They try to sell me more services. Hellooo??? You're not doing so great on the one service I have which is the only must-have that you have that I need. Why would I want to get your phone or TV service to boot? Cause that's what I'd do, boot them if they were as squirrelly as their internet service can be!!

Well his window of time is almost up and he's still not here. I guess I'd better light a candle in that window or something.

Hello cable guy? Are you there? Are you coming soon? Helloooooo!!! Wake me up when you get here.....

Fish egg breath and web logging

Okay, here goes.

Strange things happen. And just because I haven't written a post for this blog since time immemorial (i.e., over two years) is no reason to slow down now is it?

Seriously? I think I heard from the Lord today that I'm supposed to start writing again. Soon. Like now. And not start a whole new blog, which is what I always thought I would do when the blogbug finally bit me again. (I think that's kind of like a bedbug, but without the risk of disease transmission. And no nifty saying to tuck your kids in at night with.)

I'm not really sure about any of this though. I'm just kind of making it up as I go along. We'll see.

As you can imagine, a lot has happened since I last blogged, which I don't plan to share much of here. The reason for that is not mysterious, but is just this: It's a lot, it's pretty boring stuff, and most important from my perspective, I want to try to keep things in the "here and now."

So here we go folks. The future will reveal whether this is just a fluke or I'm seriously back to blogging. Not that anyone is waiting with bated breath. Or is that "baited breath"? I think you'd have to eat caviar or something for that to happen anyway.

Thanks for the reading!
