Told you So!

Sorry, no blog for a couple of days.  A few issues with our Internet service!!  God love technology.  I called the cable company which provides service for our TV, phone and Internet.  I explained every time we have a major update, there is an issue with the service. Usually the way to resolve said issue is for them to restart everything from their end.  Having had this issue about once a quarter, I simply mentioned what their usual procedure has been.  I understand, they are the techies, but my time is at a premium and I didn't want them to go through the entire process of ruling out something I had done before they would even begin to reach the root of the problem.  Techie suggested we try just a couple of things.  This was a female Techie and I truly do understand the stubborn thing as well as the "do it my way thing".  Mr. Bill constantly reminds me I am the most stubborn person he has ever met.  Jesus, Mary and Joseph, let's look at that frigging comment!  First, I raise an all male family, even Fred the Dog was MALE!  We worked side by side twenty four seven, understandably I am stubborn.  I might also remind him. I can talk louder and a helluva lot longer than he even dare dream. Last, just give in, save your voice, you know all the arguing isn't going to change a G-damn thing,,,,my way will prevail.  So, I do understand the Techie's statement, "let's just try a couple of things.  What I don't get is.."a couple of things" in my book it means, TWO!!!  At least twenty minutes, approximately five or six tests and Techie offers the following advice: " Please turn off your computer, unplug your wireless router, wait five minutes, plug the router back in and please start your computer.  Here is your call  number in case it does  not work, oh yes have a good night."  Jesus Techie, give me chance to get a pencil and she hangs up.

Mr. Bill in his infinite wisdom, felt that phone call proved I had met my match.  She never took a breathe, rattled off lots of numbers, was polite and to the point ( yes, I have a problem with getting to the point).  She also proved she doesn't like the term:  "I believe that is exactly what I suggest you do, restart the equipment from your end." You get the picture, it's an "I TOLD YOU SO" moment.  Although I never had the opportunity, to actually say that, I did suggest we do that from the beginning but no, she had to have HER way.  God, she is truly a SISTER!
