the situation
Jul. 6th, 2006 09:30 ama few nights ago, i dreamt i killed a pldt lineman. he was begging for his life and promising to do better. i showed no mercy.. a pure manifestation of wrath, i was in my dream. a fellow lineman escaped my clutches and reported me to the police, so i got caught. the story was all over the news, and the people did not condemn me. every single one understood my situation.
i am so tired of this. we finally got our dsl, but after three days of choppy connection, our phone line goes dead again for almost two weeks, and on the day when we were setting up our router for networking, no less. i can understand not having dsl, but not having a dial tone even for measly dial-up is too much.
sure they fixed our phone. but we can't connect for some reason so we called 172, the pldt hotline for dsl. they said they be sending a technician, and god knows how slow these technicians are.
and of course it does not stop there. oh no. in the middle of my conversation with the csa i suddenly hear the voices of two women talking and i went wtf. our lines seem to have gotten intertwined again or something.. i just don't know anymore.
how do these things even happen? and why does it have to happen to us? ever since june 6, we've had a grand total of four days of our phone working. i really must demand at the very least a 50% discount on our next bill. i am not paying for this kind of service.
to boot, our dial-up connection seems to have degenerated from unuse. from a steady 38.6 to 44.0kbps, we suddenly get a choppy 24.0kbps at most and i want to know why. i used to be able to download 6mb audio files for my work, now i had to wait for two whole minutes for this effin' upgrade journal page to load amidst spurts of timed out loading. i can't even begin to imagine the horror i must go through once i click on the update journal button.
somebody will have to answer for this. middle of june, a friend emailed me with a good home-based job offer and the good lord be praised, the job is still available even when i was not able to reply immediately at that time. they are waiting for me now to submit my resume once i get my dsl fixed so i can work properly. if i do not land this job because of the incompetency of pldt.. my dream just might come true.
