Updates and stuff
Nov. 21st, 2005 09:56 pmIt's raining again, and that can only mean one thing.
The phones are out. Again.
This is the third time. And by the time of the appointment to get a technician over (the problem is in their lines, not here at the house), things have dried up and the problem goes away. They cant find it, or in my case, there is no problem and the workorder gets closed. Well, it appears that they (Verizon) cant send anyone out no earlier than Thursday. That's right, Turkey Day. In this case, I hope it is raining, the phone is dead, and the guy has to work all day to locate the short. Things were much better service-wise back in the days when you leased the phone from Ma Bell.
Had a nice little outing in Harrisburg Saturday night. Met up with the bears for happy hour at the Brownstone. Got to catch up with old friends, as well as meet people for the first time in person. Also got to meet some LJers for the first time (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scottcub, psuweightlifter and his muscles), plus a couple guys from Bear411 (who I dubbed for the night "RC and Moon Pie") as well as cutepacub. Only downside was the smoking got to me and my clothes smelled like an incinerator malfunction.
Not feeling anything in the way of 'holiday spirit' yet, and doubt I will. However, if I could round up some lighting controllers and rig up something similar to this (10MB Quicktime), I might be inspired. Or just plain frustrated.
