Jay Can Blog Too - Just Not Much Time

Last Tuesday was an unlukcy day for me. The light socket in my bedroom got detatched by itself which left me without light until it got fixed.  Then the phone line got struck by lightning that evening which burned our phone surge protector (thank God not the fax nor the modem) so I had no phone nor internet that matter to use until I could buy a new surge protector.  To make matters worse, our cable reception was so unbearable that if I wanted to watch a TV program, I could only listen to it.   It’s was like taking away the essentials (ok, tv wasn’t an essential.. but without the internet, it was my next choice to use).

So what did I do ?

I grabbed a magazine and skimmed through the page until I fell asleep.  Early next morning, I had everything broken fixed.  And we’re back to normal.  But it was kinda scary though not having tv, phone nor internet readily available.  Goes to show I am dependent on these things to be productive.

I’ve been out of circulation on TV shows, especially those favorite shows I regularly watch.

Our cable provider is beginning to suck.  The reception even for local channels is very bad.  And we’re paying for this.  I’ve called technical support 6 times this month and they always say someone will attend to us within 48 hours.  Multiply 48 hours by 15 days and that’s how long their 48 hours takes to attend to us.  We have no choice though as they’re the only cable provider in our area.

I have a hunch that someone is illegally connected to our cable line.  The last time our cable was unbearable was the time our cable provider discovered our cable being tapped by a neighbor.

These are the shows I miss:  Seinfeld, Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Conan O’ Brien, Survivor, The Amazing Race, Tech TV, Starting Over (okey…insert laughs here) and WWE.

The good side of this is that I’m spending more time in front of the computer and getting work done.
