Prison sentence

I have just had to go 8 days without an internet connection due to an Optus bulls up - AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE ! Last Sunday the pc was fine - I went out to church and came back to find it had gone down. I rang optus, and was given a 3 day timescale but Monday was labour day and, hence, a bank holiday (it was a fab warm day though so was spent at the beach ) so it should have been back on by Thursday at the latest. No show though, so I rang on Thursday again to find that the complaint hadn't been logged properly and I'd have another three days which I respectfully declined requesting an engineer on Friday. Friday was another no show so this time Optus got an abusive call !! Here nothing happens on a weekend so I had to wait until Monday. I was due to visit my friend for the day but instead had to wait in for a technician. At 2pm the Telstra technician rang to say it had all been sorted - the Optus exchange in this area had gone down and 49 people had been without internet !!!!!!

My question is - were they all ringing to complain and, if so, why didn't anyone notice a pattern ? Mind you, it wouldn't suprise me if the Ozzies didn't complain, they don't seem to here and just accept the bad service that's chucked at them so now I have shed loads of emails to catch up on. Luckily I didn't have a Body Shop party that week or I would have been stuffed.

The weather here has been a bit up and down, one day hot, then windy and a few days rain. You can tell we've hit autumn, it's like summer just not so predictable.

This week we've been trying to get some jobs done around the house. We will be getting a puppy so have added gates and door frames ready. The pool will also commence this winter so I need to start getting the garden sorted and some trees need felling - loads of work to do but, the days that I have the time it's too hot ! Mum and Mike arrive a week Thursday so time is now slipping away so will have to crack on ................more soon !
