After FINALLY getting my DSL back up and running we were off to vacation. Figures... Let me do a re-cap:

The 4th of July was spent on the phone with Verizon Online Support. That's right, I spent my day off fucking around with my computer. After a few hours we finally located the problem: My boyfriend is a dork. Instead of hooking up the modem to the router he just hooked it up to my computer, then hooked the router to an empty cord. After realizing the blunder it was pretty easy to reset the router and get both computers back online. Then came the speed test. It was not as fast as they claimed it would be so I waited for a half hour to get a call back about that. I was told that I actually COULD get the 3mb speed and they were going to work on it. Meanwhile I'm trying to find the pricing difference to see if I really wanted it. I get the call back that my speed is now at the maximum. I was just so relieved that I didn't bother asking about the billing.

We spent the rest of the holiday relaxing at home and nixed the holiday crowd. Holidays suck balls when they are right in the middle of the week. Your day off is the night before and you can't enjoy the holiday because you know work is the next day. Add to the fact that we only had one computer online and this holiday was less than festive. The only good part is I took Friday off to go to San Diego so I came back for one day and was off again.

Part 2 tomorrow: San Diego here we come!
