Still Absent (Well, no, now I'm back)
« on: August 15, 2010, 09:32:55 PM »
So, we left Thursday evening (we were supposed to leave Wednesday but were busy with work). Since then we've gotten up there and most everything is set up. Except for a few things, the most obvious being internet. We've been trying to deal with AT&T the last few days, but their site keeps tanking out on us (which makes me nervous about using them for internet service, but the cable around here's way too expensive and my sister's had their DSL for months with no problems, soooo.)

Basically? Once we finally get internet through them we're still going to have to wait up to 7 days for it to be installed. I'm only on the internet right now because we're in a cafe with free Wi-Fi, and because my dad's left his computer to find a restroom somewhere. But uh, just saying I haven't gotten into a wreck or anything... We're just internet-less for the most part. XD Hope it gets solved soon - I need to find a way to print my transcript request and send it to my old college so they can send the order to my new school. That would be a sucky way to have my admission rescinded!

It's always hard to wait for Internet when you're in a new place... =_='
See you!

Yeah, especially when you have things you need the internet for! I'm going nuts having to use the computer when Dad's too busy on the phone to be typing. I barely have enough time to update people so they know that hey, I'm okay. I'm doing a quick run through right now, then going back to writing first letters for my penpals, lol.

I've got it! Lock your dad in the bathroom. :D

Glad you got there okay, at least. XD

Best of luck!

I've had some bad experiences with AT&T. When we finally got Comcast installed after about a month of arguing with AT&T (only to find out they couldn't offer us service at our house), we ended up naming our wireless DIEATTDIE.

I hope that isn't your experience, though! Maybe you'll get lucky and get in touch with one of their very competent employees who I know must exist!

:facepalm: Oi, we've had issues with them, too. Though, we just had them for our house phones. They were supposed to lower the bill for some reason, but it kept going up and up to really ridiculous amounts. O.o Yeah, we don't have a landline anymore. :P

I'm not normally attached to internet so badly, but damn, I need to get those final transcripts sent in hahaha.

I know right? Ugh, so much stuff I needed to figure out how to do today. Now I don't have to worry about it, 'cause I got my financial aid and internet connection and can move funds around. Thank goodness!
