I’m having connectivity problems today and no promise from Sasktel that they’ll be here before Thursday. Therefore, blogging from my vantage point may be intermittent over the coming days. (There’s still admin coverage though, so don’t go getting cute in the comments).
At least 55 years since anyone thought I was cute. Good thing for my smarts, cough cough
Drat. I was just looking forward to getting cute. I mean, I’m so cute when I’m cute! Now my pain is acute!
Shattered, I am. As if any of us Loyal, Serious, SDAers would ever contemplate stooping to cute!
“Thanks for letting us know, Ms. McMillan. We’ll get right on diagnosing the problem. We’ll keep you posted. Have a good one!…oh my name’s Josh. Been a pleasure. Bye!
“…oh by Allah, not again…
“…hello, Ms. Xu? Issa here. The bug we put on the Small Dead Animal’s line is a dud. No offense but do we have to source them from China? Can’t we get the ones from Taiwan?…yes I know those are Chinese too…yes I know I have to issue a ticket, I was just keeping you in the…I wish we WOULD get Israeli gear! The Jews are sons of dogs but their gear works! …yeah, I’m on it. Thanks. Bye.
“…why didn’t I stay in Palestine? I’d probably be a bigshot in Hamas and be living in Doha enjoying all the white slaves I could screw. Go to Canada, mom said. You deserve a better life, she said. I work in a call center, by Allah! In Regina! And I have to send Mom money for rent! If I’d blown myself up on a bus she’d have gotten a free apartment! I’d take it now over working for a Chinese woman who hates me as much as the Jews do! By the prophet, peace be upon him, what did I do to deserve this…?”
(The above is a work of fiction. I hope.
Good luck with Sasktel, Kate.)
My cuteness is completely out of my control.
Oh, cute it oot, eh?
I’m not cute, I’m Mr. Adorable. Hard to say that without snorting.
I faked every outage.
I’m always considered “cute”, but that may have more to do with pithy responses to siblings…..
Kate:
Switch to StarLink.
I’ll see myself out.
Kate:
I don’t know why he’s seeing himself out. He’s got a point. Having starlink in your small town might be smarter than having internet from a company that one day some busybody government official or unelected bureaucrat may just suddenly terminate your account and internet because you have a blog that tends to say things that need to be said. Think bank accounts and people who drive trucks.
Downside is the service costs a little more, but having it would give you some added security in the even the cancel culture comes knocking.
I’m actually pretty happy with my SaskTel internet. When I called to get hooked up, the tech came out and realized that my entire neighborhood was wired improperly – they had used a contractor and the contractor hung wire, but hung it wrong in pretty much every way it could be wrong. They had to run a new line from the SaskTel tower and shed – in the middle of town a couple of blocks away – to my place to get me internet. Did it in a timely manner, too. Hooking me up also fixed other connections on my street. Boom truck chewed up my yard, though.
Perhaps if I were cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way?
