More burps

I spent two hours on the phone with Belkin (the manufacturer of my wireless router) tech support last night and my internets are still fucking broken.  In fact, it's worse now than before I called them; before I could at least connect using the ethernet cable, but now I can't even do that.  I spoke to two different technicians plus a rep from my ISP.  At last, after nothing worked, the Belkin tech said he was going to transfer me to a senior technician.  I was put on hold, and then I heard a message along the lines of "this is an unauthorized transfer. click".  The fuckers hung up on me!  So today I'm going to buy a new router, throw the Belkin router out the window, and maybe I'll be able to make the baby shower happen. 

Right now I'm breaking my personal rule and posting this from work, but I really don't want to handle the baby shower stuff here.  I'm really sorry for the flakiness.  I know everyone made a big effort to write posts for my deadline, and now I can't follow through.  ScienceGirl, don't have your baby yet, ok?!?!?

Is there any problem more infuriating than an Internet problem?!? Stupid Belkin! Stupid Internet!

LOL! Hubby already told me I can't have the baby tomorrow because it's his mom's b-day; I guess I better hold this one in just a little longer for all kinds of reasons ;)

(and I could not survive without the internets... I hope it is not much longer, for your sake! :)

Phew! I got a new router and just got it all set up. So much easier to set up than the old one. Let's hope it continues to work!
