Ahh...the internet is back!

Friday's storm and strong winds disconnected my telephone line this past weekend. In fact, the wire snapped from the street pole and ran across my neighbor's front yard. No telephone, no DSL, no internet. It's such a shame how dependent I am on the internet... so here is the story. I do everything online now, including paying my bills. In fact, I even get online bills, instead of the normal paper ones. So when my phone line went out, I couldn't find the Repair phone number to call!! Normally, one can find all the phone #'s on the bill, but since my bill was online, and I couldn't get online... you get the picture! So after a while, I somehow managed to find the number and went through the myriad of "options" (Press 1 for English, 2 for Espanol... Press 2 for Residential, 3 for Commercial, et, etc). The mechanical voice kept on reminding me that I can report repair problems ONLINE. Duh! I would if I could! Finally arranged for repair service without ever have spoken to a live human. Everything was automated. The tech came out yesterday and reconnected the wires. So now the internet is fixed!! YEAH!
