Failure.
I moved into my new apartment on the first. I set up my internet, cable, phone all to be turned on this past Monday because that was the soonest I could have it done. Well Monday morning rolls around and I discover that the company I signed up with basically doesn't even really exist in the electronic world. No website, and no one I've talked to outside of the apartment complex has heard of them.
So I called up the other company which I've heard of many times before, and found out that I could get more channels and better internet from them. I set it all up with them and cancel with the original. They tell me to pick up my internet equipment that day but the internet won't be on till Tuesday. My cable won't be installed until the next Monday, but I'm okay with that.
I can live without cable for another week. So I pick up the internet equipment and Tuesday rolls around. I set the shit up but no internet. After like five phone calls I discover that I have to go up there and show my lease agreement to settle some mess involving one of my neighbors (a guy named Carlos) who just moved in as well. They had us both listed as living in 733 and trying to set up separate accounts for that apartment. Apparently Carlos thinks he's moving in with me. I don't care how cute he is he needs to go back to 773.
Anyway, I settled that shit and they told me it'd be another 24 hours before I had internet.
*Hair Pulling Out*
Fine. Whatever. Okay.
Wednesday afternoon: WHY NO INTERNET?! *Phone calls* *Complaining* *Serious Withdrawals*
Let me tell you a story about my apartment. It's awesome. It's cool. It has everything I need. Okay not really, but eventually after some time and money comes along it'll have everything I need. Even my apartment number is awesome. 733. A 7 and two 3s. That's a good sign. Especially since they add up to 13. Which funnily enough is a lucky number for me. Yay? Yay. But there's one little weird thing that I could not figure out the entire week I'd been living here.
What the fuck did the extra light switch in the front hall go to? I couldn't find a single thing for it to turn on. Not a single fucking one. I even checked the alarm system since they're right next to each other. I mean I've seen weirder things.
So this afternoon, I'm bored and I flip the switch for no apparent reason. I leave it on and go towards kitchen to make myself some lunch. I look up at the internet router and notice all four of the green lights that need to be on for internet to work, are indeed on. I'm confused, because ten minutes ago it was not like that.
The next thing I did was just to amuse myself. I did not think it would actually work. I just wanted to laugh at the idea of it.
I walk back to the light switch and flick it off.
Internet goes off.
I flick it back on.
Takes a minute but the internet comes back on.
*Dies*
Failure.
A hall switch for internet. That certainly is a new one.
Thanks for the siggy Harby san. You definitely know my tastes.

Congrats on your internet and light switch being soul-mates. I hope they find happiness in many years to come. <3
