Blasphemy and the Cable Modem
Apr. 16th, 2003 03:29 pmWhile I don't normally feel much like Jesus, I'm starting to think that maybe sleeping from Friday to Sunday might be a good idea. You know, just find a hole to crawl in and crash.
But no. Actually, having lived outside the Christian paradigm for some time now, I forgot that this was Holy Week. And accordingly forgot that I have Good Friday off. So when I needed to schedule time for a cable tech to come out and fix my modem, I rejected a Friday appointment, thinking I would be at work, and scheduled a Saturday appointment, thinking that I would be home until I left to go play D&D somewhere around 5ish. Of course, it turns out that I'd have been home on Friday, and D&D starts uncharacteristically early, around noonish. So I'm going to have to skip some of the session to wait on the cable guy. Bah.
All I want is a new modem. Mine got fried in a thunderstorm sometime last year, and I just hadn't gotten around to having it replaced yet. But no. I can't just trade the box in. I have to blow my saturday and wait.
