This post, as well as the previous post happened only because I tethered my raptop to my cell phone. While I was very grateful that the rain and thunderstorms held off long enough for me to have my company and parties over the prior two weekends, the long-waiting buildup has been massive. The hellacious thunderstorms from the night prior apparently did a number on a lot of shit around the Metro Atlanta area, but more pertinent and important to me is the fact that it also apparently fried my cable modem in the process.
I was given the option of waiting an undisclosed amount of time for a technician to come out here, or I could go to my ISP’s customer service center, which is ironically in a ghetto area, propagating the stereotype that black people are irresponsible about paying their phone bills. If it means that I can get a replacement modem as soon as tomorrow, then it’s off to the ghettos tomorrow, preferably while the sun is still up.
Unfortunately, that means there will no LoLing, no zbs, and frankly, no internet-ing while I have no high-speed internet at my disposal. Sad face. 🙁
