no hot water, even worse; no internet!

i live in a set of units. out hot water trips the circuit breaker every now and then. no biggie, i just check it every now and then when i come home. the other day, i found someone had locked the circuit breaker box. dunno why, it has never been locked in the nearly 3 years ive lived there. i asked my housemate, and the woman who lives next to us. they both own their units, and neither knew anything about keys. today i asked the neighbour across the hall. he owns his unit too. he didnt even realise there was a circuit breaker box outside! so, after work today out came the tools. off came that MFing door (freakin heavy too, could have skipped a gym session) and out came the drill and i 'fixed' that lock up good and proper  ;D  ah, warm shower...

oh, and as usual our asstastic innernetz is dead again. i might look into that there 3g wireless stuff, although the first place i looked said it wasnt mac compatible! WTF? if its not mac compatible, its even less likely to be linux compatible...

Go back to dial up.

If anything its nostalgic.  :D

danny_galaga:
funny you should say that. if i lived on my own, i would! when our turdesque adsl actually works, its slower than a 56k dial up...

Wouldn't it help if you got something fixed so the circuit breaker wouldn't trip?  :angel:

nah! its one of those things where you call the electrician, he comes and has a look, doesnt find anything and then goes again. its been doing it for all the time ive lived there. if i owned the place, i would probably try harder to get it fixed. but my houesmate is flat broke all the time, so i look at it as helping her out financially by flicking the circuit breaker back on once or twice a week (",)

the internet however, im really losing patience with. i think we should just close the account. it means more internet cafes for me, and missing on most ebay auctions, but i think i could learn to live with less internet. means more N64 and TV  ;D
