Prisoner of the media

More of the same. ATT was supposed to come to install the internet on my computer at the office. They were supposed to come about two weeks ago. Instead, they called me on Friday and told me someone would be coming this morning. Well, I had a closing in Warner Robins scheduled at 10:00 and I hadn't been able to speak with the borrower until I was about thirty minutes from Warner Robins. Meanwhile, as I was downloading the loan package at my office, I received a call from the technician from ATT saying he was on his way. He got to my office about the time I needed to leave for my appointment. We spoke briefly and he took some information from me.

An hour later, I was lost in the northern section of Houston County, looking for a house in a subdivision with incomplete information from Mapquest. Meanwhile, the ATT technician called and told me he had a problem with Earthlink, my old provider, who would not allow me to change from them to ATT. So, I had no internet connection at the office.

I had plenty to deal with at the office when I got back to Griffin and I didn't need a computer for that. But, it is disconcerting to find that I am still a prisoner of media. I am so tired of this struggle. I wish there was a good solution.
