marry me, internet
Feb. 3rd, 2013 12:34 amI return from the abyss! The internet has finally come back to me after 4 days of separation. It's one thing not to have it if I'm away on holiday, but when I'm at home and have nothing to distract me, it's the only thing that keeps me sane some days, so I'm so relieved to be reunited.
It did come at the price of a fairly hefty call-out fee for an engineer from the service provider, which we were instructed was the next move after buying new filters etc which didn't make any difference. However, considering all we needed was a different type of modem - which is apparently by far the most common problem, and was the first thing the engineer tried during his approximately 2-minute sojourn in our flat - I'm not sure why they couldn't have sent one out by post like I've just heard my mum's service provider did for her when she was having issues. I could - and probably will - ring up or email and try to get the call-out fee waived, but it's a lot of hassle and it might not work. AND I JUST WANT TO GO ON THE INTERNET FIRST.
*clings to laptop*
*hugs f-list tightly*
*gazes hopefully at the suspicious-looking site that's currently slowly loading up White Collar, fingers crossed*
I'll be catching up on your entries and some fics I've been meaning to read, so prepare to be commented upon!
Oh, and I've just got myself a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hc_bingo postage stamp for the amnesty challenge that's currently going on. Two of the prompts are ones I'd probably avoid on a bigger card, but I hope I can think of something to write anyway. Buffy would be a good fit, probably, though I don't really feel like writing anything except Peter and Neal at the minute! We will see :)
