jonathanc Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 ARgggh, just so stressed out now I feel I have to let go somewhere harmless... Was doing my work a while ago, really on the ball ideas coming in everything going great. Then BAM! Internet disconnected. I tried all the usual steps to reconnect but doesn't work so I called SKY tech and was talking to this Indian sounding girl. Bless her she was trying her best but was clearly following (stupid) protocol asking me to clear Internet cache and reboot Windows... Anyway, after more than half an hour on the phone with her I am almost exploding since she kept saying me line was fine. Then I heard my wife talking on the phone. I went to get and saw her using a non cordless phone plugged directly into the socket WITHOUT a microfilter. Fellow ADSL users will know this will affectively disconnect you from the internet till the microfilter is plugged in. I asked her why don't she use the cordless phone which I plugged into the microfilter she says "can't find it...." Well there's 3 bloody cordless phones around the house but she has the habit of just chucking it after finish using it instead of putting it back in the base. So after chucking and losing THREE phones she resorted to plugging her Hello Kitty corded phone straight into the phone point. I asked her why didn't she even consider using the microfilter she says "don't know what that was so I took it out" OMG, wasted 30min plus running up and down resetting my router, taking the faceplate of the master socket out etc when its my wife that's causing all the grief... to top that up I've lost all inspiration and ideas for my work... So any of you have problems like this with women before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 god help her when she really does something worth moaning about. yeah probably I'm over reacting but its iritating when you are in the middle of your work and this happens. Why can't Sky employ people who are in the know of technical stuff in the technical help department? The first question I was asked is "Are you using the yellow cable?" The yellow cable is the common CAT5 ethernet cable provided by Sky... Well, bright side is now I'm having some beer to chill out. God I missed my Virgin cable internet connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Her phone call was probably more important, as she was telling her mate all about the shopping bargains she had just purchased. !!!!! Buy more phones my g/f has three and thats still not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy more phones my g/f has three and thats still not enough. yeah she was calling her mate to keep herself updated with the latest juicy gossips. I guess thats important enough to cut my internet off whilst working, me running up and down the house to sort the router out and having to talk to Sky's excellent tech support team for 30+ minutes. edit: Just read the part where you said ur GF had 3.... you mean mobiles or house phones?

jonathanc Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 She married you and you're calling her stupid lol good point there Don't think she's stupid per se but I don't know, do women even think twice before commiting such mistake? Seems like when it comes to tech stuff or the like the will just switch off. Prolly the same when missus was going on and on about what she'll wear for the Xmas party. I just switch off as well and imagine myself in a happy place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Actually, I grunt apparently. ahhhh I think I catch the drift. Well normally I will squeal a bit but depends if I'm sweaty or not. It tends to shift toward a snort if I am perspiring profusely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 To be honest you are both at fault. Wifey for being a typical Woman and doing without thinking, you for being a typical guy and doing by completely overthinking. Occams Razor - The simplest answer will often be the correct one.
