Modern Life 2.2

Aaaand here's an update.

So soon?

Well, if I'm not being tricked, yes...

Things at work are still messy, but I can mutate and adapt. ô.O

The Internet thingy?

Well, I called my provider's hotline thrice.

#1: waited 20 minutes only to have the line be cut off "because of a technical problem" (I'm still the Empress of Mars apparently).

#2: waited 25 minutes after being told that "your call will be answered in less than a minute" (okay, I'm the one who decided to hang up this time).

#3: after 10 minutes, I got a human being to answer me.

I was so happy to get through that I could have kissed her!

I told her that their parcel was marked as "delivered" by Chronopost, but there was nothing in my box (not even a note to tell me the whereabouts of the ellusive parcel) - I was then informed that it had been delivered to a shop where I could retrieve it (very efficient, Chronopost! You can't even be bothered to check if I'm home or not. How [un]professional!).

I exclaimed that I didn't want to know where it was, as I'd asked for nothing, had learnt that the box has a noisy fan, and I like being able to sleep in my own flat, thank you very much.

She tried to convince me to have a technician come and install the box, but I refused.

Then.......... she said she was registering my wish on my file with them and I'd get a confirmation e-mail tonight.

I want to believe that this lovely lady didn't lie to me!

I want to believe that what could have been a nightmare is now behind me for good.

The optic fibre line would fully belong to my provider, whilst the ADSL line's still controlled by France Télécom (Orange, today). 

I don't care about the war between France Télécom and Free. My connection works, and I don't need a new one (with a fan from hell and disappointed reviews about the connection!).

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sheesh! Bloody sheeple.
