Re: The joys of computer ownership
If only it were the case that the whole neighborhood was out, someone might be here sooner.
But this outage? It's not an outage. Something's broken in the main box in our basement, not the box on the street.
I'm not sure I mentioned that all this technological inconvenience began the day I dropped my smartphone in the toilet (helping my almost-4-years old grandson go to the bathroom at the pediatrician's office). Maybe it's an omen. Or maybe it's just my year. (But it's good for a laugh, so no problem.)
