Funny Story True Story..

So one of my roommates (Mike) and I were working outside together yesterday and I asked him to move two tiger lillies so we could clear that area for sunflowers. He dug them up.. moved them.. no problem. Then he started working the soil to get it nice and broken up. He leaves and I keep working...

Fast forward to after the NASCAR race.. I'm trying to log into my work machine.. no go. No tv, no phone. Other roommate is on the cell phone with Verizon putting in a trouble call.

I'm thinking.. I wonder what could have .. uh oh. So now we are trying to reassure Mike that he couldn't have nicked the fiber.. he wasn't digging that deep. I was home when Verizon was installing the fiber and those trenches were deep. Plus, they shoot the fiber underground so that's why the lillies were not touched during the install.

Well, this morning Mike went out there and mucked around.. and found a cut wire. Since we did it, we're not sure what the fall out is going to be.

I figure.. I watch too much tv anyway! Time to curl up with a good book. If it wasn't raining today, I would work outside after work but reading works!

Oh NO! That doesn't sound very funny to me. That sucks.Have you heard from Verizon yet? I hate calling them. I have wasted so many hours of my life on the phone with those guys. Their fav thing to do is transfer you cause nobody ever knows anything.
Guess the good news is you got your roomate to help you do something. Mine's worthless.

I didn't call Verizon which was probably good for Verizon. :) I guess they came out and ran a patch cable until they can bury a new one. It was kind of peaceful with no TV! Mike is bummed bc now we have to wait until the cable is buried before he can plant his sunflowers.
