No internet

The internet connection at home has been dropping off in the middle of the day this week. It is very frustrating. I would finish work and try to email it, find out I didn't have any connection, so I would wait or go to Dave's to get stuff done. I spent most of day today at his place because of this problem. The cable representative did not know what was going on. She actually thought it was my wire or modem went bad. I finally had to schedule an appointment with their technician/repairman tomorrow morning after being talked at for more than 10 minutes. When I left my place and saw a cable truck parked on the street with a 5 people crew, I backed up and asked one of the workers if they were working on the cable/internet/phone in the neighborhood. Of course he said they were! And of course it was a problem that they had been trying to fix since two days ago! And of course the phone operator did not know anything! So while I waited for the takeout food at the restaurant I called the cable company again and canceled my appointment. I'm not going to have one of them come and end up charging me for the visit. Ugh! It was good to see Dave though!
