It has been a couple of days of of home owners who don't seem to comprehend the particulars surrounding the fire at their house Friday evening. We're now on air card over the weekend to test its viability as Steve's trading tool and my work tool. We have spoken to Time Warner (since the owners did not get off their own duffs) and learned it would be 27MAR2009 before ANY cable for internet (and thus wifi) could be installed - even if it were merely to be installed in House #1, which was completely unaffected by the situation Friday (it is on a separate power line). The owner is acting funny, coming up with newer and brighter ideas about how we can make do with the facilities for the rest of March (not comprehending, for example, that once the $30 air card for blackberry expires at 5GIG, it will cost $400 PER GIG thereafter!! Helloooo!!)
In other words we will be requesting a refund a little more firmly by sometime tomorrow. At the moment, we are therefore not snorkeling off some lovely beach somewhere but are mired in the task of suddenly having to find alternate housing for the entire remainder of March - and we're not exactly on a month-long hotel budget here, which exacerbates the challenge! Problem is, you normally get week #4 free on a monthly rental but at this point, we are just shy of a month until we leave this island so the scenario isn't the most favorable.
BUT, of course, diversion is important for soothing the nerves. Here is Franz doing his best. He lives in that there conch shell and comes out if something irresistible is happening - like nachos...or a telescope to look into!!
...and of course (s)he had to check out the nachos and condiments, licking the beer in passing....

This poor guy had a fire in his house and these two are so cruel to demand a refund for the probably F-R-E-E internet service.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the pictures it looks like the Morks are the culprits to name as the cause. Just look at the overloaded outlet!
If their work was so very important why did they not get off their D-U-F-F and go mooch of off some free wifi someplace like Starbucks? HEY on a positive note it would be a chance to find something else to cleverly complain about!
Seriously?
If its so important for this extremely important work why not plan ahead and prepay for more than the bare minimum?
Or better yet get off your DUFF and go to the local starbucks and sponge off of them?
I suspect its because they don't want to get off THEIR duffs.
