report from the great internet outage of 2006

The Internets are Down. I repeat: The Internets are Down.
The suspicion is that we have some sort of wiring problem that causes problems when the heat gets up, which is why we don’t have phone service in the afternoon but still in the morning. And obviously if the situation is that bad, no wonder we don’t have internets working since that depends on the phone lines. But golly gee whiz does this still totally suck. Thankfully there is a weak signal from a generous neighbour in our bathroom, but it only barely works some of the time and really isn’t a proper substitute at all. So I return to my away status and home the repair guys can come soon so I’m not lost all weekend.

So I take it that you either weren’t invited to Thursday Night Drinks or, like me, are not interested in going to Judy’s house?
I’m feeling antisocial lately.

fluffy: I didn’t get the invite afaik but I probably wouldn’t have gone anyway — with Julia not getting home until 9 we usually have to leave just after we get there which is pretty lame unless it’s at Kate’s.
