Break Stuff

Never mind collapsing in a heap, this time I definitely want to break stuff...

I was going to post about how BT actually got my phone line up and
running without me having to be there, and how I ordered my broadband
today, and how I hope I did the right thing going with Tiscali, since
their customer service and website are both rubbish, and how even
though it will take another 2 or 3 weeks to get broadband, at least I
can now use dialup in the meantime... only to arrive home and find
that first point (and therefore the last point, too) is not, in fact,
true. Despite the fact that I ordered broadband on this line, I can't
dial out on it.

And my t-mobile allowance should have been reset today, but it hasn't
been. So I have no cheap way of contacting my family back in SA.

I'm trying really hard not to swear, here.

And as usual, things were picking up towards the end of the day -
lunchtime-ish onwards. I was actually happy walking home - didn't
even catch the bus. Only to be derailed, again.

I'm back to where I was when I moved in - no phone, no internet, no
tv; except that I don't have my mobile for cheap calls either. And to
think I _almost_ had all of them at the same time :( I wish the
universe/fate/deity of your choice would stop messing with me!
