I sure pick my moments.

When I woke up yesterday morning, I noticed that my modem wasn't working. I tried doing the usual ways of rebooting it but it was all in vain. I ended up calling an engineer to come out. The next available appointment was today between twelve and four.

So, what was I to do for the rest of the day without Internet access?

Well, there was always the Internet on my iPhone, right?

Wrong.

Yesterday was the day that I had asked for my mobile number to transfer to a new network so I lost signal on that for most of the day as well.

It was a very boring day but - to be honest - it did fly by as I caught up with podcasts, watched afternoon TV and then watched a DVD.

At 11pm, I turned the modem off again in one last attempt to get online.

And it worked.

The engineer has now been cancelled but I have a gut feeling they'll show up.
