The Powers that Be...

by - Wednesday, November 15, 2006

Are not liking me all to much. Yesterday I am home sick (probably food poisoning - darn "crap"ateria), and my phone and internet die mid-afternoon. So - I think that there is probably a direct correlation between my phone dying and the Telus guy digging a massive hole in my neighbours yard, so I don't make too much of it, until he leaves - and still no phone service (or internet - which means no SCS!). So I call Telus on my cell phone, and they are to send someone out today... I go home for lunch and find that I have missed the Telus guy by FIVE minutes... so I call again, and they need me to actually be home when the dude comes again... but alas, they don't understand that to pay for the darn bill I must work all day... so I think I have talked them into calling me before they head to my house tomorrow so I can leave work for a couple of hours rather than sit on my duff and wait...

To top that off, with 10 minutes to go in Law & Order Criminal Intent, the power goes off. I am not sure how fast 40-50 knot winds are - but they are enough to knock power out, and consequently also make it so that I don't have a clue how the show ended last night... which makes me mad! Luckily, given that there was high winds all day yesterday, I had powered up my portable DVD player and proceeded to watch Click, which was actually pretty funny.

So, in the midst of having my room look like I was holding a seance because I had so many candles going, and watching a TV screen that is generously touted at 6.5", I didn't get much stamping done... and my next fair is on Saturday!

Good news - the power and cable are back, but I am still living "Amish" with no phone or internet... I guess I will just have to stamp my little heart out tonight instead of oogling the newest Dirty Dozen releases...
