So today the cable guy came and was suppose to hook up our cable internet. Well, he didn’t end up doing it because our cable wire is messed up. Why? Because when we built our house back in 1998, there was still lots beside us. The builder built them during the following year. One day there was a guy digging on one lot and he accidentally cut some wires with his big fort machine or whatever it was. As far as we were concerned, it only affected our power and caused a power surge making some appliances blow up and smoke coming out of them. We didn’t have cable tv because we had satellite and obviously didn’t know he screwed the cable wire too.

So that’s what we find out today. There is no signal on the cable that is coming in which makes it impossible to get cable internet today. I have to wait for a phone call on Monday from his supervisor who is going to set up a date when some more cable guys can come over. They have to establish a new wire that runs all around my neighbour’s house, through their backyard and ours, and then to the side of my house. Great! Not…I’ll have to wait another week before any of this happens. All I know is that I must have this internet working by August 3rd because that is when my Bell Sympatico is cut off since I had already canceled it.

What a damn headache. I was so disappointed. Then of course I have to get into drama with my sisters. You can read about it here.
