The Storm Ravaged…Me
This past week has been a difficult one. The storm that came through the area hurt badly… The storm itself, with the snow and ice…it was fun at first. But then came the falling trees and limbs, the loss of power and heat, and being fairly stranded in our little area. Was not so much [...]

6 August 2011
I’ve never really thought of myself as an entrepreneur before, until this week. Despite being self-employed, that term always had a negative connotation to me. But a question was posed on Facebook that changed that: Do you think high unemployment rates are contributing to an increase in entrepreneurship and start-ups? Answer: YES or NO or [...]

This afternoon, my internet went down. Well, actually that’s what we assumed. See, we’d all left the house (which also houses my business with my Business Class internet, and I got a call from my wife when she returned.

Original story | Update 1| Update 2 | Update 3 Ok, so after checking in the system on Saturday, was told it would be done that day or Tuesday, and then would hear from them. It’s Tuesday, and guess what? Not a peep….so the saga continues.

Update 1 | Update 2 | Update 3 Got a call while at the new Transformers movie this afternoon with Sammy. And even *I* did not answer the call. Mainly because I didn’t recognize the number. It must have been someone in local management as I was told about by the Executive Resolution Team. Anyway, [...]

To catch folks up to date: Update 1 || Update 2 I hadn’t heard back after yesterday’s response from a member of the Executive Resolution Team, the long holiday weekend coming, and with the window for my return of the laptop coming up quickly (Sunday), I emailed back.

30 June 2011
There’s some movement. (For those who hadn’t yet read, the full story is here).
