Last weekend, I sealed the grout on 2000 square feet of floor, plus 2 showers and 2 bathtub/showers. Then I went to work for two days and rested.
Wednesday, we moved. I still haven't found my deodorant, my Kindle, and my two cats. Even in a violently clean house, 5 years of accumulated dust can cause some serious issues... which it did. My sinus infection is now in it's third day. Yay me.
Yesterday, we moved the storage buildings (yes, there were two) contents to the new house. While not such an epic undertaking, the boxed stuff from the house (you know, the stuff we actually use) is now behind and underneath the boxes from storage. Which, of course, where in storage for a reason.
As to where I've been for the last few days... in terms of on-line. Well, that's a funny ('sigh', not 'haha') story.
So, the AT&T guys came out Wednesday to hook us up. Unfortunately, while the house is wired to the gills, there are no wires or cables that actually go to the house. So yesterday, the construction supervisor came out to figure out what was going on. He piddled around for a few hours.
We live on a corner and, according to the AT&T site map, our house should be using the junction box that's across the street. But there are no conduits that go from that box across the street.
Apparently, the install techs made a command decision to not run the conduit under the street, but along side the street to the North VSLAM instead of the central one. It seems that they didn't finish because, there's still no connection from my house to any VSLAM in the area.
The construction super, supposedly, has a crew coming out to install the conduit (underneath the yard that I fucking sodded by myself) today. Being AT&T, the 9-11 appointment time has come and gone.
The good news is I will have fiber optic line to the house... the bad news is that no one knows WHEN I will have fiber to the house.
sigh....
So, here I sit, in a French bakery (damn the luck) catching up on a week's worth of e-mail and other stuff. |
Do you ever get the urge to just toss a few things into a backpack, grab a sleeping bag, hop on a motorcycle, and take off with no particular destination in mind? :)
