Great Farking Zarkwon

Zaphod Beeblebrox, President of the Galaxy.

Just dropping a quick note here from "yours truly". My home and my office in it, the place that serves as my personal version of the "batcave" is without internet or phone service because I was silly enough to take the advice of my local phone company and have them upgrade my home to a Fantastically Fast All New And Improved Fiber Optic Network System!

Well, it hasnt worked out quite the way it was planned. You know the phrase " You just cant get good help these days?" Well, I'm living it.

For me, trying to live with the lack of internet access is like suddenly being forced to camp out in the wild. Losing the internet is for all intents and purposes like I have fallen into a wormhole back into the 12th century.

I'm busily scrambling around all day trying to keep my organization up and running as I upload and download emails every 4 hours at the local Panera Bread, in between visits from the phone company,various supervisors and their contractors as they try to undo the damage done so far.

It sucks. It sucks bad. Losing TV is annoying, losing the internet is frankly, unbearable.

I'll be back in business soon. Try not to stare at my old pal Zaphod Beeblebrox too much, it makes him all "twitchy".

Update: Great llama of bahama!, I'm back in business! I'm not fiber-ed yet, but I am working again and that's ok.
