So, it seems my internet connection has gone all wonky. I'm amazed I even got this far. I called the cable company and spent a half an hour on the phone with them only to find out that...
The modem is screwed.
It sort of pisses me off, since this is the second modem they've given us that has been shit. Maybe even the third (I can't remember). It took me a year to get them off their asses to give me a new modem. Oddly enough, the current modem is only a year old.
How strange. Something about boot error and dropping packets. Webpages, especially email pages refuse to load, and everything is slowing down to a crawl. I thought it was my computer, but I'm relieved to learn that's not the problem.
So, they're supposed to come out Thursday and fix it.
That being said...
This pisses me off too. It's supposed to be 99 degrees tomorrow. This morning, it was 85 at 9am. WTH? To make matters worse, my mom doesn't like to run the air conditioner. We got into a squabble about that this evening. Sure, it's cooler outside but that doesn't mean it's COMFORTABLE.
Now I can't sleep. It's too damn hot.
I hate summer.
