Take a nap you say? I totally would. Except for the fact that the past 3 days - each day being a different issue - I have to wait for AT&T UVerse techical support to show up and screw up something else.
Day 1 - Sunday
Neither the iPad or the Kindle have a wireless connection. That was remedied after an hour Live Chatting with a guy on the support site and he did a system reset on their end and suddenly everything worked perfectly. Note: This is after I was convinced the iPad was messed up and went through the painful hour long process or system resetting it. Twice. No bueno.
Day 2 - Monday
All was fine and dandy until about 1pm when the PC internet went down (connected to the ethernet). NO PC internet = no blog posts. After an hour on the phone with someone trying to fix it; they conceded and sent me a tech guy. "Your technical support should be there sometime between 4 and 9pm". Really? 9 pm? Whatever, I'll wait up.
So that dude shows up at 5:15 or so and about an hour and a half later he says it's all fixed and he changed the PC to Wireless internet instead and blah blah blah. Well, shame on me because I was part of the problem. During his work, I turned off the security alarm notification because it was beeping every 10 seconds since it didn't have a phone signal and driving me bonkers. Turns out the phone was never reconnected....I figured this out at 10pm as I'm getting ready for bed and noticed the notification light was still on.
Day 3 - Tuesday (Today)
Wake up and the TV in the bedroom is out. We try to restart the UVerse box - no worky. I tried 2 more times and that worked. All other TVs are ok. Still no phone and guess what? No internet on the PC either! Another phone call - only 20 minutes this time and this time the tech is suppose to arrive between 12 and 4pm. (It's 3:26 and I'm still waiting). I threw a mild hissy fit today on the phone which is why the call lasted the full 20 minutes and I pulled the "Don't make me go back to DirecTv" threat.
All of these things are making me angrier and tireder. We've only got half our Christmas shopping done and I'm tired of trying to accomodate what everyone else wants to do for Christmas. What about me and my family? We've never get the chance to start our own holiday traditions because we have to attend or host the events for both sides of our family and sometimes I just want it to be us. Just the 3 of us. Alone and quiet and making our own special memories.
In Conclusion:
- I'm a bit of a hypochondriac
- I hate technology
- Families are annoying
- UVerse is better than DirecTv
