I was looking forward to today. Hubby was going to get me a new router, I would install it and life would be good. However, when I was going through the set up process, the new router didn’t work! I tried everything, and nothing would get it to work.
I called their help line. I waited a short time, and got a gentleman on the phone. He was in India. And he spoke English with such a heavy accent that he had to repeat himself 3 or 4 times for me to understand anything that he was saying. Frustration built and I began to have a melt down.
Emily was here and she fed the dogs, and before I knew it, it was time for dinner. Not for me to start dinner, but to actually sit down to eat, but nothing had been started.
Hubby had wanted to bid on something on Ebay and since I was in the middle of a router change everything was down and not working.
Finally, I reached the point of no return and I hung up the darn phone and left the office in disgust. I made dinner, ate it, went back in to the office, unhooked the new router and hooked up the old router, and said the heck with it!
I have questions to ask my ISP, but I’ll do that tomorrow. For tonight I plan to get my pajamas on, and curl up and watch “How I Met Your Mother” and “Two And A Half Men”.
Sometimes a girl just has to chill.
Bill had lots of problems with our router. Which one are you using?

It’s so frustrating when you can’t find anyone to help with a computer question. I feel for you!
I had the same problems with my router. And I think I spoke with your guys wife. I took mine back.
Most annoying, indeed.
Folks with these heavy accents are so hard to deal with. I stopped at a Dunkin Donuts the other morning to get a cup of tea. Well, he said something…and I said, yes – tea. He said something again, and I used gestures to show I wanted a ‘small’ cup of tea…..Finally I figured out he was asking if I wanted cream and sugar in it. Honestly, I had a heckuva time figuring out what he was saying.
~~that’s from the ‘misery loves company’ department, although your situation is much much more serious.

It should only be fun! always!
My router is playing games today…I could get a much better rate if I include phone calls, but I am afraid to change anything that’s working…
I hate those kinds of experiences. I don’t want to be mean to ppl w accents and I know it’s not necessarily their fault, but ugh it just doesn’t help anything!!
Ugh, I’m having troubles with mine too. It keeps disconnecting me literally every two minutes or so. VERY annoying when you’re trying to do anything. Grrr! 🙁
