I have internet! Sort of.. ?

The guy never showed up yesterday - when I contacted the cable company they were like "he was there, he hooked it up" and I was like uhh I was here all day, nobody showed up, and looking in the cable box I can see literally no cables plugged in. They were just like oh okay well someone will be there tomorrow from 3-5pm. *rolls eyes* I love being lied to! Chris decided last night to just go and plug in a cable and see what would happen, and it worked - our internet is working. But I don't know if it's ours? Is this illegal cable? I DON'T KNOW. Guess we'll see what happens when the guy shows up today. Y'know, if he does. This is the third appointment in a row I've made so my optimism isn't high!

We didn't get that hooked up until like 10pm last night so there wasn't time to do much but download Teen Wolf. :D I had to watch that and I don't regret it. I'm wicked behind on all my other tv though. I need to watch Shield aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. I've been reading some of the Shield-related news lately and it makes me sad. SO MUCH MEANNESS.

SO HOW ARE ALL OF YOU DOING? I'm so behind on everything, I'm sorryyyy. If you have any important things I missed please tell me about them! Or just talk to me. Whatever. :D

I'm glad to be back! *HUGS INTERNET*

Is your cable company Comcast by any chance? That sounds like the sort of bullshit my mom's had with them.

I've had a mostly pleasant experience with Time Warner. Well, except for the fact that I was without CBS for a month because of a contract dispute, but I'm pretty sure that one was actually CBS's fault.

So exciting having internet again!

But yeah, internet providers (and telephone providers and cable providers) mostly seem to suck when it comes to customer service.

Yeah, I blame it on lack of competition. The problem is, they need so much infrastructure for those services that massive competition is pretty much impossible.
