New Phone lines

I haven't been able to get online from home for a day or 2 .
I think it started Tuesday night. my modem didn't want to dial, i thought i would be smart and checked the house phone, no dial tone.... . Oops I called ACS on Wednesday morning they said to check the box outside for Dial tone. yes i had Dial tone outside.
They said the technician would come by on friday, except he called this morning. He came and looked and all my phone jacks and said they was a short somewhere in the walls of my house. so rather than tearing up the house looking for this said short, he put in 2 new phone jacks. in much better spots than where they were. And even thought to put a new box on the outside. yeah ACS.
he said the bill is only going to be for 1/2 an hour but .... i think it might be for more than that. i was away from work for 1 1/2 hours.
hay new phone wires all around faster Internet, so whose complaining.... not me.

Other stuff........ my garden grows apace, I have picked some silver beet ( arctic Chard) i think my peppers are not going to last I may even pull them out this weekend. they just don't look healthy.
I only have 5 nights waiting tables this week. i have Friday night off Yeah! only made $350 for the week a bit on the sad side. but 2 nights off in a row.
sleep or garden.... hell i can sleep when its dark.
