Taking it Real Slow
With the apparent lack of Internet on my street, I have come to the stressful conclusion that services here can be quite friendly but extremely inconsiderate. It is my understanding that this is not an isolated incident and that all services will go out due to whatever fancy the provider has with no warning. My Yankee brothers make sure to email, call, or snail mail you when they plan to turn off a service but instead I waste 2 hours troubleshooting a problem to finally break down and call the provider to see that they decided i don’t need Internet today. Don’t get me wrong, I am not addicted, I just had tonprint out a class syllabus. Sadly that was not an option. Instead of calming me, this occassion has caused me to feel perplexingly anxious. I have already had a bad morning with the great waffle massacre and now this? I am just going to go to school and read. This cavalier environment is going to turn my hairs grey!
