It's always something . . .


Another self-portrait

I've been waiting around here for two days, unable to really start any major project.  I've been waiting for someone from AT&T to come and repair our phone line.  Waiting isn't something I do very well.  I'd much rather keep busy.

We've been having internet problems for a while, but I found out last week that this time it was the phone line which was causing our problems. We hardly ever use the land-line phone anymore, so it took a while to realize this. Last Friday it was very windy, and neither our land-line phone nor our DSL for the computer was working properly.  With every gust of wind - poof! - we were cut off from the outside world. 

So, yesterday someone from AT&T was scheduled to stop by between 8 am and noon to repair the line - no one came, no one called.  It was windy again, so land-line phone and internet service were sporadic again at best.  Now, someone is supposed to stop by today between 8 am and noon.  I'm not holding my breath, but I'll hope for the best.

The last time we had a problem was about 15 years ago, when a squirrel had started to nibble through the phone line outside our house.  Nibble, nibble.

At least I've had an internet connection long enough to write this post.

I miss blogging and all my wonderful blogging buddies!

This waiting is beginning to eat away at my nerves.  I hate waiting for service people to show up.

Nibble, nibble.
