bzarcherSo. When I came home Sunday, things were good. Saw ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
neeri, had some chips. Go to hit the email... *bzzt*
"Dad?"
"Yes?"
"Why don't we have internet service?"
"Oh. That."
"...and?"
"Well, we took a spike Saturday morning. And the router died."
"...and that's good?"
"Well, no. But I hadn't felt like replacing it. I'll do it Monday."
Now. My parents do not just have a cable modem, router, and wireless because I live at home. And not only do they use it, but my dad has VPN access to Wendy's (for which the cable access is pretty much required) so that he can do on-call server maintinence stuff on the weekends. And he refuses to allow direct connections to the cable modem, wireless or otherwise, because he doesn't want to put his work stuff at risk without a firewall.
So, wouldn't it stand to reason that if you need this for your job, and it's important, and you won't work without it, that you'd REPLACE IT ON THE DAY IT HAPPENED?
Can't move out soon enough. Really can't.
skarlette, I'm so sorry. I desperately wanted to talk to you last night and hear your stories. With luck, I will be on tonight. Also want to apologize to silentsteel and others who wanted to RP with me.
