One funny thing about life is that a good percentage of people
fall under the “As needed” category.

You know what I mean?
The ones who you remember, or like,
only when you need them.

The person who can hook you up.
The one who can help you with something.
The individual who can get you out of a situation.

But after that,
once the favour has been done,
they are nothing.

Nothing.

Just like that time when I got treated badly by some folks who
didn’t think of me as an equal or as someone who matter.
But when they need some computer help or any technical questions,
I become their best friend.

I guess it’s my fault for letting them treat me that way.

No matter.
I don’t really care.

Maybe someday, the “as needed” people
Would learn how to say “NO!”

Because there’s a fine line between
“As needed” and “Abused.”

And I feel like I am crossing from one to the other.

15 days. That’s how long we haven’t had any phone nor internet service.
In this day and age, you would think this would be unheard of.
That’s half a month!

So we got our phone turned on yesterday,
and the internet today.

Apparently, someone in that company
didn’t understand the procedure of moving a service
and processed a new connection instead.

To remedy this problem, I had to talk to “9” people,
and spent almost 4 hours on the phone.

There has to be a better system than that!

Oh well,
I guess I can’t complain.
Since someone in our neighborhood has an unsecure wi-fi,
with his SID on major broadcast.

Yup, I used his connection,
but only to do certain “important” things.

Nope, I did not take advantage of it.
I wouldn’t want it to happen to me.
(Plus I’m a nice guy,
and I was only getting a 47% signal quality anyways.
Not good for long downloads.)

So anyway,
the moral of the story is?

Make sure that your Wi-fi is secure
and when you move your phone and internet service,
it would be easier if you just cancel your subscription
and order a new one instead.

Stupid hurricane.
