Like, phone, Internet, and TV all from being from the same source say... AT&T?
We had some major storm move through here early Thursday morning. Dad and I was planning on buying groceries, but we both felt like you know let's not muck with the weather and wait for Friday. So after my morning farming run in XI I took a nap. During said nap the power goes out for a second (I knew by the squealing of the CO2 monitor plugged into my wall). I get up thinking everything is normal, ate lunch, watched Bleach.
Then I was going to check on Mom and Dad and find out the latest antics of Buddy and Palar (not Palom like we once thought), but I picked up the phone only to get no dial tone. Okay this has happened before I'll get on Skype and call Dad; however, the program never came up. Then I saw it; the red light on my router. Uh oh... Even the TV didn't work. I had no way to let Mom and Dad know what was going on.
So what did I do? Well, I did maintenance on my computer and played Princess Maker games. By 11pm I was ready for bed. by the time I was drifting off to sleep Dad comes a knocking at my door around midnight. So to make this part short, I went to spend the night at my parents' place. Called AT&T and found out the were outages, so I had to just hang lose.
Slept on the sofa with Buddy, and all was going well until thought it'd be a great idea to stick his butt in my face. Needless to say he got pushed off. >_>
Dad and I finally went to the store, and I made my first perchance on the gift card I had won and got a few days ago (yes I've been lazy posting). I bought myself a prepaid cell phone with 1k minutes. I also saw Buster, and he got everything working for me.
Stayed a few more hours at Mom and Dad, saw Palar, leeched off of Dad's Internet, and AT&T told me that there were no more outages >_>
Okay I was tired and cranky as well as sore (from sofa sleeping), so it was time for me to go home since I have a cell phone now.
Phone came back on line a few minutes after Dad left, and then the Net came back fully after I had a much needed bath.
So now tomorrow I have to get ready and go our monthly Sweeps meeting that Kiddo and I have missed since Jan. >_>
Oh boy am I tired. (yawn)
