WTF!!!

Ok, finally able to get back on here.  I swear, sometimes the internet is against me.  First, the provider's equipment broke.  (Of course it was the day after the technician that had been here for 2 months left to go back to Italy.)  So they had to get the parts here, that took three days.  Then it took another 2 for the tech to get back.  And finally, one last day to get it all fixed.  I had a slight issue with the service once it cam back up and went to talk to the tech, since he is the only one there I knew.  I explained it to him and he suggested a few things to try to fix it. 

One of his suggestions worked and I went back the next day to let him know.  He was already gone, and in his place is some Indian/Pakistani (I have no idea what he is.) who is now our service rep.  I don't know what the ISP's policy is on speaking English, but its obvious they really don't care.  This man can barely speak, or understand, English.  I tried to explain what the issue was and how I fixed it, so he could let others know if they have the same problem.  Well, the effort was worse than useless.  He never did really understand me, even though I did slow my speech pattern down for him.  And understanding anything he said was pure torture.  (Now, I have been in several foreign countries, and no matter where I have gone, and no matter how poor someone's English was, I was able to get past the accents.  But this guy is something else.) 

You would figure that if you plan on providing a service to American service members, with a service rep there, that you would make sure that the person you choose for the job can understand, and be understood, in English.  Especially since that would be the language he would be dealing with.  I know I don't want to talk to him again, but maybe that's what the company is hoping will happen.

Then, after the net issue was fixed, I couldn't log into this lovely blog to update it.  I kept getting all kinds of errors, different ones at that too.  This went on for a few days.  And finally, today, I can log in.  And I never changed anything, go figure.  I guess the Internet Gods decided I was worthy again.

Well, since I hadn't been able to log in, all of my ideas are now gone for a real blog today.  You're just going to have to accept this for now.  Oh, and no quote today, I don't think there are any that apply to this situation anyway.  Later.
