Spent almost an hour on the phone with a Verizon engineer, and with no little futzing with hardware on his end and mine, the DSL line is back up and running.
I think Ren and Stimpy most accurately reflect how I feel right now:
Hi Chris....yah...I got the BLAHS big time today. It is my birthday and I am sitting here like a SHLUMP. I got up early and took a ride to Canterbury for an oil change, which was so far the high point of this day! While I waited for oil change I walked up to a Dunkin Donuts and had coffee and bran muffin. Then when I got back, car was ready but UHF ham antenna was a bit BENT! I forgot to lower it before they put it on lift. It is a fold over antenna designed for such instances. Luckily I was able to square it away. I liked the Ren & Stimpy cartoon!!! I remember watching them a long time ago. I made a ham sandwich with doritos for lunch. The guys at the shop down the street said they would take me "out" for my birthday. I don't think so cause that means STRIP CLUB and BOOZE. Those things that rot your brain. So I probably will watch a Mr. Bean movie with a cherry coke. By the way when is MIT flea market anyway? I used to have the ham radio flyers at one time. Whats the best way to get to Boston? I have no clue how to drive in city or where to park. I want to go to MIT to see the flea market. Maybe I could get directions from you and we could meet up somewhere there. Maybe I should take a bus? I have not been on a traveling adventure in years.
Personal info: straight white male. (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
59 years old. Currently unemployed, due to diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and depression that does not respond favorably to any of the current medications.
It's not as bad as it sounds, though. I get by OK. Good days and bad days and days that are a combination of the two.
