I Don't Understand

 

Scorigami is a new word for me

One Ringy Dingy

A. pointed out that our Mbps, megabits per second, were very, very low. We looked into updating our service and the price different was affordable.

I am not sure if I would say that the third time was the charm,
but after being stood up twice I was thrilled that
someone came to the house for the third appointment.

Not only did the person not show up the first time, when I called to ask about it I was told that the person was at my house at that very moment. Then I was told the person was almost done with the work. When I said I was at my home I was then told that the person had tried to gain access to our home but was unable to. Would I like to reschedule? The next day I talked to a different person who did apologize for the fact that I had been lied to.

The second time I also arranged my schedule so that someone was at the house when I had to leave. Nothing. All day. At least this time they just kept telling me the person was busy, maybe later. Maybe later. Maybe later. Would I like to reschedule?

I felt like I was living in a Lily Tomlin sketch, but more of the type of,
"We Don’t Care. We’re the Phone Company. We Don’t Have To."

Ta da! Someone showed up and on time!
The person seemed to know what to do and everything went smoothly.

We have a new box on the house

and away from the house.

The entire process was a big pain, but now that we are all home and on our computers I can say that I am glad it is done and I am not trying to get an appointment this week!

Summer Camp

It is camp, but the kind where you sleep in an air-conditioned room and do academic work during the day.  R. loves it!

This is just part of the code from the first day.

It resulted in having the light flash S-O-S

Each student writes a blog post each day.
It is a nice way for the parents to have a little view into camp life.
