woe is i


So my internet conks out last night. I call up optimum and they’re pretty helpful. Run some tests and tell me there’s a minor outage in the area. Wait a couple hours and it should be back up. A bit inconvenient, but fine.

I wake up 12 hours later and still no internet :( I call them up, but I dont think the morning crew has had their coffee or something. Here’s my conversation.

Me: Hey… my internet’s been out for about 12 hours now.

Guy: Hm, you tried unplugging it?

Me: Yup.

Guy: “How many lights do you see?”

Me: One steady. One blinking.

Guy: Sounds like you’re screwed. Tell you what. I’ll have a guy come and look at it… when’s the most inconvenient time possible for you?

Me: …

Guy: Alright, tomorrow btwn 2pm and 5pm it is. Lol. You’re not gonna get anything done that you were planning to do.

Me: Any possibility of squeezing me in today or on the weekend?

Guy: Nope.

Me: Oh.

Anyhow. I go outside to ride over to someplace with internet. First thing I see when I’m outside is an Optimum Online truck … pulling out from the curb right in front of my house. Great.

We happen to be going in the same direction, so I’m riding my bike behind it. We turn the corner and… two more optimum online trucks. One parked looking at wires overhead. The other one eating a sandwich and having a conversation with the guy above him.

T_T

Guy: Lol
