On day 18 after the October surprise...

I still have no phone. No idea when the phone will come back. The phone company originally stated October 23rd, then October 24th and now it is "We are really sorry but we're still behind and don't know when we can come out." Power came back up after 5 days. Cable came back after 2 weeks, because they were waiting for power to be restored before they sent crews out. So what is the phone company's excuse?? I am trying very hard to be patient. However, I am rapidly getting more and more irritated. If they could at least give some sort of estimate as to when it'll be fixed, that would be nice.

Until then, I have my cell. Which has limited internet access, so between that and work I have some online communication. But no DSL means no online gaming means cranky B. Grr.
