Sitting down at the computer after dinner and going to check email.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jdotmi discovers that his computer will not connect to the intartubez. He frowns and wanders into satyr_mi's currently empty room (as he is off at a friend's working on homework) and examines the cable modem which has a rapidly flashing synch light and nothing resembling connectivity.
jdotmi heads to the living room to check the TV, which is displaying a default branded logo and the time on several channels.
jdotmi goes bugfuck.
carebear_flare: I've got some channels on my TV. Check the lower channels.
jdotmi verifies some channels work okay, but look like liquid ass.
jdotmi: OMG TEH CABLE COMPANY IS DISCONNECTING US!!!11!! NOOOOOOO!!11!!! I'M CURRENT ON THE BILL!!!!
jdotmi frantically dials the people that send the pictures through the t00bz.
Pre-recorded Message: We are currently aware of an outage in your area and a technician has been dispatched to repair. Would you like us to call you back when the outage is over?
jdotmi: Oh. Right then. Do that.
jdotmi and carebear_flare sit down and watch Smallville.
Teh Intert000bz come back to life.
There was much rejoicing.
