No Blogging Tonight...Honey

No Blogging Tonight...Honey

The Last two days have been Crazy, Fred Crazy with No Internet trying to get back online and Getting my Outlook email working,. Yesterday the High Speed Internet Service Crashed..I was Busying meeting Clients etc all morning. Then After Lunch I started Calling my Service Provider Telus. This is something you put off, as it's a time consuming exercise..First you Talk to a Computer generated Voice, then after 15 minutes of that, you get sent to someone who you really want, in my case a tech support person. They go through all the questions again, like how long have your computer stopped working etc, finally they admit their High Speed Internet Service is down, call later" I'm sure it will not be long"

By the Time 5 O'Clock rolls around, still not Internet.... Fred on The Phone with a Tech at Telus I'm on my Phone again to Telus for an hour, they they tell me I'll qualify for a credit for the Internet being down, and it probably will not be back for 24 Hours...WHAT, I Need to Blog on AR, make comments, I'll get behind with my Points and go to #4 for BC and check my Email..Yekes !!

By 9:45 PM the Internet was back working, but not my Email with my Outlook..no problem I'll call Telus and speak to a Tech Person and I'll have my Email back in hour at the Worst...Wrong ! ...By Midnight and a Malaysian Telus Tech Person who is already a day ahead of me, we both decide after 2. 5 hours (after Midnight here) we can't get my Outlook Hooked up to Gmail.

I toss and turn all night and Jump out of Bed Fred Jumping out of Bed ...Groggy at 7 AM and Grab a Coffee and head to my Computer hoping it was all a Bad Dream..Nope ! My Outlook still refused to hook up with my Gmail...By 1 PM today I manage to have my in bound Email working...Great..But Now I get 3400 Emails..You read that right. Seems the Whole History of Emails gets downloaded..it now takes me about a hour to sort this out.

This Post is getting too long..so Bottom Line....I just got everything Working tonight including my email going too by 7 PM tonight, I'm now 700 Points behind in AR and in fourth position for BC.

Oh well it's not really about Points... Right ? Fred Worried

Cheers

Well done, Fred! This is addictive. Too many evenings in the family room with my laptop, missing conversations that I shouldn't miss. But aside from the blog interaction, points are points!

Cheers!

Oh Fred: I feel your pain. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago and my service was out for 2 1/2 days. Drove me nuts since email is critical to my business. What's more the tech acted like he couldn't care less about the problem which was just maddening. I voiced my displeasure and announced the outage on Facebook, I was so frustrated. The problem is, it happens way more than it should with this particular provider but if they had at least had an attitude of caring about the customer, that certianly would have gone a long way with me. I know it won't be long and you'll regain those 700 points but it is a burden when you have to catch up.

Hi Bill...my only hope is everyone is limited to10 posts a week for maximum points so I might be able to Catch up. if I forget about everything Else :O))

Cheers, thanks for dropping by :O)

Hi Donna...I have to say my high speed telephone serviceprovider seldom goes down, I have cable at the Office and it has regular outages. This incident happened as a result of a vehicle taking out a power pole. It really was not Telus's fault, except they should know how to help you get back up and running easily...Google makes it even harder with No Phone tech service.

Yekes 2.5 Days that was even longer than me.

Fred ,sounds like a typical day for me , but add three little girls to the mix , two separate car pools , 2 cheer leading practices, a girl scout meeting , planning a camping trip , making three Halloween costumes AND helping our new AuPAir figure out her NEW life in America.

I don't think I would notice if the net went down !!! LOL
