Phone guy didn't come because apparently although the order for my new line was placed, the order for the guy to come around and check the existing socket/equipment was not placed. Which means that there was no point in wasting half my day (8am-1pm) waiting, and oh, the soonest it can happen is now 14th. 3 weeks without phone. 3 weeks without email, online maps & journey planners, rail timetables, news, LJ, shopping, downloads.

This is my amused face.

Currently on the phone with BT insisting that they do something about this. I don't care if it's physically impossible for them to send a guy over sooner, I don't care, they'll just have to make it happen. It's not the fault of the poor girl who's talking to me (or putting me on hold as she looks for a solution, atm), but. I WANT MY GODDAMN PHONELINE.

After this call, I'm writing a letter to Mrs Jillian G Lewis, Customer Service Director, BT plc, Correspondence Centre, Durham DH98 1BT.

[edit] Fuck it, you know what? I might go with ntl since I already have a ntl box.

ntl says that there is service being provided to my address already, they can't open an account for me until they find out what's actually going on.

(A bit of background history: the previous tenant was a student who left without paying final month rent. She probably didn't cancel her broadband.)

So they've taken my mobile no., and are looking at what's going on with that account and will call back. I can't use that net because I don't have the login details anyway.

orz

[edit] If I can get ntl, I'll just buy a skype-in number, probably a HK-based one, so that my family can call me for free. I have no use of a phone anyway.

Last night I went to a rather posh seminar. They kept bringing round the wine @_@ and canapes.

(Re)watched Fight Club last night. There needs to be a D1 AU with Fight Club background. XD Am still waiting for utility bills to come through so that I have proof of address to use to get Blockbuster membership. I've never joined things like that before, but maybe it'll be good!

Was playing DMC2 this morning. It's still crap compared with 1 or 3 because the camera angles suck and they just let you run off with minimal plot. I wonder if I can ever be bothered to finish this game at all.

*WANTS TO POST FIC AND KILL WORLD WITH ITS CHEESYNESS* (but it needs some editing, I believe. It needs padding out a little...)

Hmmmmmmmmm what to make for dinner tonight...

I'm getting to the stage where I don't want to leave work simply because work has internet. =_=
