Tech Support
Thirty minutes...thirty MISERABLE minutes this morning that I could not check my facebook or email. This is my routine! I have breakfast, grab coffee and go peruse the interwebs. That's how I do things. If this order is disturbed, wrath be incurred!
Anyway, so I was on the phone this morning with tech support and had quite the chuckle with the guy on the line while he tried to convince me that the problem was the jack. I told him it's working fine and I'm not moving it. This would require me putting my wifi in the kitchen. Not the most logical place, but definitely doable. Either way, I told him I was pretty sure that wasn't the problem and to run several other diagnostics before resorting to this instead.
While on hold (for more than 20 of those 30 minutes) I got to thinking..."what if everything had lousy tech support?" I mean EVERYTHING
This could be hilarious
Kid doesn't sleep: "Have you tried laying him down"
Door won't unlock: "Have you tried jiggling the keys?"
Pasta not cooking fast enough: "Have you tried turning on the element?"
House is cold: "Have you tried turning on the heat?"
It seems every time I call tech support, they have to ask. "Have you tried unplugging it?" I guess there are people who don't try that, but still. I did everything I could here from unplugging to troubleshooting on my end. ***SIGH***
Oh well...I have internet again and this pleases me greatly. I will appease the interweb Gods by posting this blog.
