In which I love my new job because they give me benefits!
I started here at the ol’ ISP/CLEC three months ago last week, which made me eligible for not only the first health insurance I’ve had in a decade but also free DSL! Free!
My dry loop was delivered by Qwest today. Oh yes it was.
I got to sit with the engineer while he set up my connection on the DSLAM (card 24, port 6!) and built my connection onto the router.
When I get home, I’ll need to tone the pair out of the apartment back to the demarc and connect it to the new loop, and then program the modem and plug it in…
…and then? And THEN I should have a FUCKING ROCKIN’ SOLID SEVEN MEGABIT PER SECOND FEED INTO MY HOUSE, ONE THAT DOES NOT GO THROUGH A QWEST DSLAM!
Squee!

Health Insurance?! Lucky duck! WHEN AM I GOING TO GET A JERRRB WIFF BENEFITZ/A SUGAR DADDY WHO WILL PAY FOR ALL MAH EXPENSES?!
I haven’t had insurance in ten years, probably. I’m half convinced that when it kicks in on November 1st I’ll discover that I have a horrible awful expensive medical condition and I’ll never be able to change jobs EVER AGAIN UNTIL I DIE. -m
i’m doing the happy chair dance just for you! health insurance *and* fast internet at home! the wonders of good employment.
It’s nice. I feel almost like a real person! -m
Yay, benefits are always good whether it be with a job or a friend lmao j/k
I work with computers and DSLAM seems so foreign…
Yay, for fast internet..
You’re so right! *wink* A DSLAM is just a piece of DSL equipment! I love fast Internet. -m
