Missing Internet
My internet has gone, I don’t know where its gone, its just gone, I was online around 4:00 am this morning, it was working then, I tried to go online around an hour and a half later and it wasn’t working, its now 11:30 am and its still not working, I’m getting withdrawal symptoms, I can’t check my e-mail, my Facebook or my blog for comments. I’m assuming that its something to do with the weather, we had storms, strong winds and non stop torrential rain all yesterday and last night, many parts of Cumbria have had flooding, the weird thing is that my phone is still working but my internet isn’t, I guess this is something to do with the fact that they are different types of signals with (perhaps, I don’t know) different lines, anyway my internet isn’t working so I can’t post this until it is, I wonder how long that’s gonna be.
Ok so in the meantime I had my doctors appointment this morning, I just got back, if you remember I have gone a couple of days over my allowed self certified sick leave (I’m allowed 5 days) so needed a sick note from the doctor to cover me, he has given me a sick note to go back to work on Monday, he said my cold had developed into a sinus infection and although I can’t read his writing too well he appears to have put something of the sort on the sick note. I’m still continuing to improve, my cold is a lot better and the infection seems to be clearing up nicely, I didn’t sleep last night so I’m tired and a little headachy but other than that I seem to be getting better.
I have just been on the phone with BT and apparently there is a major fault affecting the internet access of some customers for my dialling code, they are saying they expect it to be fixed within 24 hours, so there you go, the weather has hit BT, perhaps my exchange is under water !!
Its 11:00 am on Saturday morning and my internet has returned, HURRAH, I had heard a tale of a fibre optic cable which crossed a bridge and after the flooding the bridge was no longer there, the story was that it could have been the middle of next week at least before we got the internet back. Well if the bridge story was true then very well done BT for getting us back online double quick, if the bridge tale wasn’t fact, well still well done BT for not dragging my absence out further than it has been.
Anyway I’m back after a mercifully brief gap in my service, hi folks.
The bridge story is apparently partly true, a bridge in Workington which is where the alleged bridge was was said to be did collapse and a policeman, a father of four was killed.
