Hallelujah and Pass the DSL

As most of you know the East Coast experienced a severe snowstorm on 12/19/09. Lots of power and phone outages followed. We were some of the lucky ones that only spent about 16 hours without electricity but we did spend eighteen days without landline phone service, which means I spent eighteen days without access to the internet from home. Believe it or not, I would have been okay with this if our local phone company hadn't continually lied to us about when our phone service would be restored. The customer service reps at Verizon are a bunch of fucktards, 'nuff said.
