Waiting for Godot, The Comcast edition

[susandennis]

I got a call about 5:45 from a tech guy (who was on some kind of magical phone line - the call was so clear that I thought maybe he was out in the hallway). He ran a bunch of tests and, of course, couldn't find squat. Even thought my internet access got dropped 3 times while I was on the call.

He's sending out a field guy and a network guy. They should be here any time now. I do not have a good feeling about this. I think it's one of those needle in a haystack issues. At least it's routine enough to almost be workable. Every 15 minutes now, it tosses me off corpnet. So at least I will know tomorrow to log on, work fast, and know in 15 minutes, I'm going to have to do it again. It could be worse.

Meanwhile I just got an email from the guy to whom I first went to for help (after my initial call went south) on Twitter. Nice. Very nice.

My new favorite thing (yeah, Oprah's done with hers, I'm starting mine) is EOS lip balm.

I saw this young girl using it on the train the other day. And I was intrigued by the form factor. So I found some for me and I love it. I wish they had a non-flavor but the mint is ok. It's easy to find in my purse, or on my desk or here by my chair. It just makes me happy.



And, finally, that foot thing? It does not hurt nearly as badly tonight as it did last night... possibly there's hope?

OOoh, that lip balm does look really cool. Guess I'm not the only one having Comcast issues tonight ;)

I got one of those eggy chapstick things last summer/fall. Not too shabby (I have yellow, it's not mint. Some fruity variation?) I keep it on my desk, because it doesn't fit in my pocket or in any handbag I have. When it runs out, I probably won't replace it, but it's alright.
