And If You Guys Thought Comcast Was Bad...

...just wait until you have Time Warner as your cable/Internet system. After my wonderful trip down to DC, I come home to find out our cable box and Internet have mysteriously stopped working.

After multiple calls to Time Warner, followed by instructions to unplug the cable box, and then plug it back in; and then unplug the TV and then plug it back in, the technician concluded that our box is broken and we need a new one.

Technician: "Someone can come by March 6th to fix it."
Me: "March 6th!? That's your first available date!?!"
Technician: "Yes (proceeds to read off paper) We are terrible sorry for the inconvenience."

Well after another call to Time Warner and a slightly more helpful technician, (Thank you new friend, Luis!) we are on the "early call" list, which will hopefully mean someone will schedule time to come fix this in the next few days.

So what does all this mean?

Well those blog posts (with pictures included) about:
-Moving to Brooklyn
-The fun quirks of my new apartment
-Jillian's Cupcake Birthday Party
-My awesome trip to DC

are just going to have to wait until the cable comes back OR I can somehow sneak a moment to upload pictures to my work computer and blog in my down time.

  1. Ugh, what a pain in the ass. It's like you're living in 1970.
