Sorry about the downtime, but my modem/cable lines/something pooped out on me.
I started noticing sub dialup speeds last Friday or so. Didn’t get a call to Charter until Sunday, and they didn’t get a tech out until today. My downstream SNR was really, really low and kept jumping about. He fiddled with lines for a while (actually replacing every line in my house with new coax) and gave me a new modem. It’s about the size of my iPod. I’m far too lazy to update the desk pictures just because it’s different now, but whatever. I don’t know what fixed it, but it’s fixed now.
In the time off from the Internet I had, I came up with a really cool writing project. It’s huge (like, a lifetime long thing) and I doubt I have the energy or talent to pull off. It’d be pretty cool though. If anything actually happens I’ll post more about it in the future.
I’m pretty pissed off about work right now. My new manager promised to promote me, which isn’t happening. So he promised to train me in booth (projection booth/film work), but instead Caleb got trained. Now this weekend (Harry Potter) I’m stuck closing concession the first night, being there for 11 hours Saturday, and pretty much all day Sunday as well. What’s Caleb get to do? USH Booth. That roughly translates to “nothing.” He gets to start movies, and wander around occasionally cleaning. Such fucking bullshit it’s not even fucking funny. He has like ten more hours than me, and he gets to do fucking nothing.
I just about gave my two weeks notice when I saw the schedule.
