This morning at 7:45 am-ish the Comcast guy came to lay the DSL cable for the cottage.
The decline is semi-inexplicable, but basically, I’d been living fine on 4 bars most of the time, but lately it’s been now down to 2 bars on the wireless from SK(W)’s set-up.
2 Bars means that downloading a 1.5 gig movie was estimated by iTunes as a 47 hour project. Seriously … 47 hours, for a movie I’m mostly watching as a break/distraction!
But Dimitri, the Comcast guy, hooked me up –– all before my 9:30 am Sunday client –– and it’s miraculous.
Beyond just the wireless, because there’s now a modem/router in the cottage, I can re-plug my old AT&T phone tower booster so my phone has gone from like 1 bar to 5 throughout the space. No more dropped calls and/or positioning the phone nearer to the window for clarity.
[By the way, I really find it strangely comforting to remember that even if you are “sitting still” you are still moving in like six different directions in space –– the earth is spinning, traveling in an orbit around the sun, and the solar system itself is moving, and even our galaxy ix moving through space –– and a rough calculation, NOT including the galaxy, means just sitting in our rocking chairs, we’re moving at roughly 70,402.43 MPH...ie, not so weird that the wireless goes out sometimes, is it now?]
So having the wireless working perfectly and five bar phone coverage is truly revolutionary –– and a testament to the powers of ALIGNMENT.
Suddenly, communication is crystal clear –– and nearly instantaneous.
Tasks that took more than a traditional work-week can now be completed in sprint-style times.
And, most importantly, everything seems accessible and EASY ..
FYI, the pics today were taken by my morning yoga client and sent to me afterward.
Belle –– after an enthusiastic greeting –– moved from chair to chair, perching herself like a starlet and watching the lesson.
In fact, I’ve spent most of the day marveling at how despite all my fussing and fuming, Belle pretty much got the check from the production company through the sheer power of cuteness (aka ALIGNMENT).
In fact, I’ve made the firm decision to turn all my financial and career decisions over to her –– may excessive CUTENESS allow a FIVE-BAR LIFE prevail for us all.
