Life Update

I have been without internet for more than a month now, and I really miss it.  I've been checking my e-mails and updating my blogs only at my friend's house, and my parents' house.  There's one thing I've learned in all of this.  DON'T DOWNLOAD MORE THAN YOU CAN PAY FOR!!  That's why this month after my cheque Elections Canada clears I will be paying my first month on an unlimited connection from Distributel.  http://www.distributel.ca/en-ON Now I signed up for this exactly one month ago on April 25th 2011, so I will be getting a big credit when it's finally installed.  The whole reason I haven't had it up and running yet is because I was told that they would send me the modem, then I'd pay and then they'd send out a technician, then I'd call again to get a discount for the time off.  It wasn't until last week that they told me (after 4 calls) that I had to pay, then they'd send the modem, then I'd call for a technician, and after the technician I'd call for my discount.  Well to tell you the truth I wasn't quite ready to pay the whole $70 when I phoned them, and I certainly wasn't able to after rent and food came out of my bank account.

To top things off I'm in the process of switching banks, and I keep forgetting where I put my direct deposit information to give to ODSP.  It looks like I'll have to wait till next month again.
