AARRRRRRRRR

Cell phone coverage in this area (the hills behind Stanford) has apparently been out for most of the morning, except for about twenty seconds when the tech support person (that it took me nearly an hour to get connected to) was checking it. I am not happy. If you tried to reach me (or mr_kurt, finagler, or any of my non-LJ coworkers), my apologies. Not my fault.

I am particularly annoyed that they can't tell whether there's power at the cell tower, which I'm guessing is the problem. I'm also annoyed that they keep asking for the ast 4 digits of my social security number "for security purposes" when all I'm trying to do is tell them that I have no signal.

Oh, right, TILAPIA ITLAPD. Ahoy there, maties! If ye be tryin' to signal the Mandelbear, ye'll be wantin' to use th' Intarweb. The speaking tube be broken.

12:00 Back. On the stroke of noon. Suspicious. I'm guessing a planned outage due to construction.
