Just in case anyone's noticed my absence or potential near-future absences...

.
.
.
Cox is giving us shit service again. We're getting 3 hours or so in the early morning and then cutting out for the
rest of the day.
.
The landlord has been calling and they restore our service for those 3 hours and then it cuts out again.
.
He just bought a new modem from them as they said (of course) that this same problem we were having two
months ago or so (if that long) was due to our old worn-out modem (of course it was).
.
So he's going to have a few choice words and expect them to actually FIX the problem tomorrow, but who
knows... odds are I'll have spotty service for awhile.

Your presence is demanded and required or off with your head!

Hey, if we're going to miss you then having an ISP problem pales compared some of the other problems you faced recently. Thanks for the update MFM.

I was afraid you were trying to default on the fucking immortal clause in your DU Lounge employment contract.

Trust me, you don't want to breach that contract, I'm a real ass when it comes to enforcement.

Seriously, I'm glad it's just your cable, you had me worried. Stay safe and keep doing what you do oh so well.

I was expecting to hear about another hospital stay when I opened this thread. Glad to hear it's just the stupid cable giving you the problems.

Well, get a stack of good books just in case. Better than shaking your fist at Cox. Stop it, I know just where your mind is going.

... and so far our connection to the Intertubes has been holding for about 6 hours.

Hopefully, that was the problem.
