It’s starting to get light outside finally… I can’t believe that I have sat here for 22 hours and blogged every 30 minutes. My mind is mush… I’m going to be just about useless for anything I have to do today. I do know my parents asked for my help with their computers… apparently, I’m the computer help desk for my family. I hate that. I get phone calls, “Hey Bisch, I got this error message and it said something about a general fault and had a bunch of numbers, here let me read them to you.” Why is it that they always forget what the English words are with the error, but always diligently write down every stupid number the computer gives them? I don’t know what any of that shit means. I need to know what the English said. That’s the only real way I can be of any help.
Then, I also set up a wireless network in my parents house. Big mistake, because now whenever their crappy Bellsouth DSL connection goes down, they blame the wireless network. So, I’ll wind up troubleshooting stuff with them over the phone and then figure out it’s their DSL connection. Something I can’t do anything about. Ugh.
Why me?

I’ve Bellsouth DSL for about 4 years now, without a single problem.
I had “cable” Internet for about 6 months before that, and enjoyed outages that went for days, outlets that went bad, bad modems, shiatty service, and bogged down speeds at times when everyone uses it.
Anyway, did I say shiatty service? I’d rather deal with car salesmen than the cable company. How can a friggin monopoly be run so poorly?
