Psh, wouldn't you like to know.
It's the first post from my brand new computer!!
That's right, skeptics and cynics said it would never happen, but Park Place FINALLY did their infamous internet rewiring job, which left me free to set up my snazzy new machine, knowing it wouldn't get messed up somehow by worker types. I'm really protective, okay?
You want to know the funny thing? The big internet fiasco, beginning like 3 weeks ago with notes on our door saying "INTERNET WORK BEING DONE TODAY!! EMPTY THE SPACE UNDER YOUR BED AND DESK!! TAKE OUT YOUR CLOSET DRAWERS!! SWALLOW YOUR GOLD PIECES!! HIDE YOUR FAMILY HEIRLOOMS IN THE WELL!!" ended with not a single thing really being done. From what I can see, they completely bypassed the entire closet/desk/bed region, instead going straight to the jack which was installed over Christmas break, and putting another plug in. So pretty much, the sign on the door COULD have read "MOVE YOUR NIGHT STAND 3 INCHES TO THE LEFT!!" and achieved the desired goal. See, but the even better part is--can you guess?--the new plug doesn't work!!
I'm still holding on to a hope that there's like a giant switch they have to flip to activate all the new plugs, and they're saving that part for last. Maybe there's some kind of ribbon -cutting-esque ceremony being planned? Maybe it's scheduled for sometime in March? March of 2023? That would be about right for this management team.

I. Am. Angry.
No way! So does the internet not work on the new plug?? Freaks. They are as bad as the guys who did the cool new wiring at STrandwood and wanted to put the new phone in under the TV. Which, btw, still isn't in in any case. I still don't have a phone in my room. Oh well. Maybe by next year.....Oh yeah, now there is a budget crisis. So maybe never...
I am happy now. Your mom called someone a freak. That is the coolest thing ever.
Glad I don't listen to the signs on the door.
