Grumpy Valentine’s Day

I’m feeling pretty grumpy this morning. Home ‘net access is down AGAIN — this is the third time since 2006 began and I’m really starting to wonder why we didn’t just get DSL. We brought our modem over to the Comcast office and got a new one, which was supposed to solve the problem, but it didn’t. Comcast said that they have to schedule another service call, and oh by the way, we’ll have to pay for the service call. Um, I think not. We’re using 100% company-supplied equipment and Comcast did the installation and set-up themselves less than 6 months ago. Any problems we’re having are not caused by us, and we should not have to pay for the service call.

Plus, Scott didn’t get me anything for Valentine’s Day, which is also making me feel grumpy. I’m not a high-maintenance kind of girl. I don’t expect expensive gifts or even flowers (although they’re always nice). I would have been happy with just a card. But not getting anything kind of rankles.

And yes I know, V-Day is a totally artificial holiday, I have a wonderful husband who loves me very much and shows it on a regular basis, yadda yadda. I know all of that. That does not change how I feel. If I can find the time to pick out a card for him, he should be able to do it too.

I’m on campus now and need to get some stuff done before classes start. I have the iPod cranked and hopefully that will help improve my mood.
