Finally, my internet is back! *Gasp*

About two weeks ago we started having problems with our phone (the phone itself that is) and eventually we stopped being able to use it. Being too lazy and broke to buy a new phone we decided to ask the phone company for a replacement (which is a waste of time because they always take MONTHS to respond to trouble reports and their phones are always defective). Eventually we discovered a problem with the phone line, and the next day the repairmen from the phone company finally showed up and spent hours trying to fix the problem. Before they left they said they had to fix the problem on ‘their end’ and once they did the phone would work again. We waited and waited for the phone to come back but it didn’t, but finally earlier this evening they called and said that the phone was officially back up. Woot! (This is why I wasn’t online for the whole week. I wonder if anyone missed me?)

Besides the phone not working I had a little crisis to deal with at home. You know, I’ve always been really hesitant to discuss certain things in my blog. Yes, in all honesty it’s not like I get millions of hits a day, and the gadget that records my stats gives a reasonably accurate picture of where my visitors are from - no one from Trinidad (as in physically from Trinidad) visits except me, which is okay because Trinidad is much too small anyway, but what about the others? Are they ordinary people in need of light entertainment? Or are most of them from Despair.nu to fulfill an obligation? But you just don’t know. I mean I want visitors, but not weirdos…
