Got back to the hotel last night to discover that the broadband in my room was not working. Since the DSL signal light was not lighting on the modem, and after I’d re-seated all the cables, I assumed it was not my PC.
Wandered by the front desk on my way out to dinner. Explained the situation. The lady there very quickly removed the charge from my room (since I’d paid for three days), and said someone would come up to look at it while I was out.
Which was partly true, since the someone was still here. Very nice janitorial type, going through the motions, talking to the DSL provider hotline and swapping out cables and equipment.
No go.
He indicated, on the way out, that at least one other room had also gone dark like this, so the DSL company was having someone come out today. We’ll see if there’s any difference when I get back tonight.
But, meantime, no DSL = no Internet = no e-mail, no blogging, no browsing, no CoH …
(The latter of which was okay, since Margie was tied up all/most of the night filling out employment forms for her new position — which, even though a transfer within the corporation, is, in some ways, treated as a new hire as far as paperwork goes. I suggested, as a new HR employee, maybe she could do something to fix that, but she didn’t seem appreciative of the joke …)
