ceitfianna: (long road)
I just took five of those online assessments on Microsoft Access, Excel, Power Point and Word along with a typing one.

I really hate those tests because if you press in the wrong place, it goes are you done yet and if you don't press the right thing it thinks you're stupid. I think I did vaguely better than the one I took for Swarthmore and honestly did better on some then I expected.

It helps that Microsoft makes it really easy if you know where to look. I'm feeling a little better, its cold up here and I'm tired but if it all works, I can switch out the not working modem and put in a new one.

Well the next new modem arrived in today's mail but I'm taking a break before I set it up since I realized that I completely forgot that I had training for volunteering at the public library this morning. After I grabbed lunch I went and apologized but I feel so shattered and so am going to enjoy the internet I have for a little bit before I try and set up the new modem.

Fixing the internet has eaten up all my plans for new job stuff and everything, it really sucks and I'm just feeling caught between wanting to yell and cry which is not a good frame of mind to deal with Verizon and new modems.
ceitfianna: (oh shit will rabbit)
I sort of have internet as long as I keep my computer directly connected to the modem since the modem has a factory defect, the brand new modem that arrived in the mail today.

So I have to wait for another modem and then send this one back. In the meantime, I'm going to be online because I can though not as I normally do because the modem has me on a short leash *glares at it*.

In three to five business days I should get another new modem that hopefully will not have any factory defects and it should work. So I think I will be on slightly less just because the situation makes me want to scream and will distract myself instead of wanting to throw things at Verizon.

Since Saturday night, I have now had three fifty minute or more long phone calls with Verizon tech support, so I'm ordering myself in something yummy for dinner and maybe going to a movie tomorrow or going shopping.

On Saturday night, my internet went down and I called Verizon, they said wait 24 hours, no luck so yesterday my mother and I called them, no luck.

Today they sent us a new modem which I'm going to set up later and hopefully I will be online this evening. At the moment I'm on a public library computer for about an hour. My priorities are checking my email, getting meebo so I can connect with people and then after lunch and grabbing some books trying to make the internet work.

I'm sorry for the abruptness that I got cut off but Verizon is rather stupid and it happens sometimes. In the meantime, my laptop has been organized and I made some nice icons which I will hopefully get to upload soon as well as getting back to all my slows.

I think the fact that I had some really nice stuff all lined up just makes me more angry at Verizon and I've been thinking that I need to find other ways to talk to some of you guys since being without internet is really damn lonely.

Also after hearing Obama's speech, I'm feeling proud to be an American and keep smiling when I think on it.
