Finding the Internets

I have never been in charge of getting the Internets. It's always just been there. Not so much this time around. I'm living in a condo, so it's owned by a private party. Cable was 'provided' - provided that you had the necessary equipment and the people who lived in the apartment before you removed their names from the cable agreement.

I had to call Comcast to figure out why our TV wasn't working and they told me to go to the service center (which is about 20 minutes away). I talked to my dad about getting Internets and we decided to do it all in one go.

This morning, after Yoga, I went to the service center. They hooked me up! I got a new cable box thingy and an internet modem and a big red bag. Rather than wait(and pay) for someone to come install it, I decided to just do it myself. Easy, right? Just plug it all in.

Hours later and talking with no less than four different Comcast people at various times and going BACK to the service station because the power cable didn't fit into the hole on the modem, someone is coming to fix it all on Wednesday.

Luckily, we have a lovely downstairs neighbor whom we begged to let us borrow some Internets for a few days. We are going to buy her some mint choco-chip ice cream because that's her favorite.
