dragonlady7Seems that Verizon's been doing a lot of work in the big box across the street. There are hundreds and hundreds of connections in it. So they work there a lot.
Of all the luck, Zobar's connection is right next to the door. So for the last two days, when they've shut the door after they've finished, they've cut his wire.
*smack* Duh.
This most recent repairman said that well, he tried to kinda tuck it out of the way so that didn't happen again. I did my best i've-just-killed-a-snake-with-my-teeth smile and said i sure hope it doesn't happen again. gosh how funny. really. wow.
In the meantime, going on the directions the lady at the passport agency gave me, I got hopelessly lost in Central Jersey City. (Garfield Avenue doesn't go all the way up to Newark Ave. It sorta... ends. It really, truly, honestly does. I can attest to that; I took every possible route after the intersection where it peters out, and not one of them was Garfield. Sometimes I had to go up to half a mile before there was a sign that said what road you were ON (they'll tell you what other roads there are...) but... nope. Not one of the roads was Garfield.
you have to go up Garfield, then bear onto Grand street when Garfield vanishes, then turn onto Ivy Pl., then onto Summit (after it becomes 2-way), then onto Baldwin, and then you'll see Newark Ave.
So her suggestion that I just stay on Garfield until I get to Newark is kind of... not based in fact.
Had the DSL line not been cut, I could've just clicked on the other tab so it could show me the right directions, but I forgot to before the Internet went down. Gosh. How thoughtless of me. But I had done the directions to the other place, that's not open after noon.
Life lesson learned: Humans are idiots. Was that a deep and revealing thought? No.
