"I'm going to go out Monday at Lunch and I'll get the replacement router, but I don't want anything hooked in directly until then."
"Oops. Sorry, I forgot. I'll go after dinner."
"I didn't end up feeling like it. I'll try to go tomorrow, sometime."
3 chances, says the Buddha.
If he hasn't replaced the router by tonight, to hell with them. I've been playing by his ultra-paranoid and often stupid rules since I came back to their house, and I'm sick of it. My family's inability to follow up on their word has been an infinite source of frustration to me, and one that I will no longer tolerate.
Besides, something tells me that if I hooked the wireless direct to the cablemodem, and loopbacked the broken router, he wouldn't even be able to tell if it was working or not.
I am tired of denying myself human communication.
