Saturday – 21 November 2009
Last night, SaraRules, some of the Clitorati and I went to the Grizzlies hockey game last night.  It was a lot of fun. The Grizz played the Las Vegas Wranglers… and won. In fact, they blanked ’em: 4 – 0.

After the game, we headed home and watched Thursday’s episode of Fringe. It was good. Next, I watched Thursday night’s Late Late Show; Sandra Bullock was one of the guests. The banter between Craig and Sandra was quite amusing.

Then… I went to flip over to live TV. For some reason, the cable box didn’t want to cooperate. Power off. Power on. Nothing. Power off. Power on. Still nothing. Maybe I should check the Internet connection… Nothing there either.

::: grrrr :::

Call Comcast… The customer service center was closed. Okay. Fine. Early evening. Get some sleep and deal with it in the morning.

I woke up this morning and there was still no signal on either the TV or the Internet. So, I dialed up Comcast again. After talking with the CSR, I explained what I was seeing – or not seeing – and he started checking into it:

  • Bill: Paid in full.
  • Outage in the area: No.
  • Signal: There… but he couldn’t get a ping response from my receiver.

So, he set up a service call. Their earliest available slot: Tomorrow morning. At 0800.  *sigh* So much for sleeping in. Or for FINALLY being able to play City of Heroes today. On the plus side, I’m getting credit for (at least) two days’ worth of a service outage.

I guess this means that today – after coffee with Perry and Chris – is a cleaning day around the house. (Which isn’t really a bad thing.)

I’m leaving this for now.  Check back tomorrow.

Namaste.
