My Router Hates Me
Current mood: pissed off

Today I spent the majority of my day rewiring my home to accomidate my new PC setup. My PC's have been moved to the front of the house, next to my room. The modem/router was moved from the opposite end of the house to the middle. We purchased two 50 foot cables for my sis and I, and a 7 ft cable for the PS2 in the living room. When Dad and I reached the front room we found that we were short on ethernet. Dad went and bought two couplers for the front. Luckily we had shorter ethernet cables from our prior setup. We connected the cables and BAM! They dont work.. I reset the modem and router, no luck. Called Time Warner, and found that my connection was fine. Alright.

Then I called Dlink the router company. I spoke to a lady who made me reset the router, clone my mac address, and create a DCHP so that I can have an IP address. Done, works for 20 minutes tops. A few hours later I called Dlink again. This time I got some weird lady with a weird accent. She wasnt very nice, or very helpful for that matter. She made me do the same shit over, but instead asked me to update my firmware. Luckily I caught every word because she spoke really fast. I updated the firmware, reset the router and got an IP. Yay it worked. 5 mins later, down again Grrr.. So I called again. Same lady picked up. She made me repeat the same shit again. At this point I am loosing my patience. I bascially told her what I need to do and she just said yes. I asked her I dont understand. Why is my IP address disappearing? Why do I need to keep resetting my router for an IP? She never answered me. 1 minute later the phone call was dropped. I directly called back, hoping to have the same moron. Instead I got another lady, with a difficult accent. She made me do the same shit as the other people. Even though I explained that it didnt work previously. This time she made me change some settings in Misc. Big woop. No difference. I was patient with this lady even though she was difficult to understand. Every few minutes she put me on hold. Im not sure if it were to scream or to check a manual. Either way it left me even more aggravated. After 15 minutes of nonsense she asked me to Take the cable and connect it to the other end of the LAN and connect it to the WLAN I dunno know wtf she said. It just pissed me off. I said Im sorry. I am trying my best. Perhaps it is me but I am my best to understand you. This makes no sense. She repeated herself against word for word. Silence. Maam could you please tell me if you have a connection. I said I havent done anything. I dont know what you want me to do. Then our connection gets choppy. I cannot hear her and she couldnt hear me well. When the line came back she repeated herself again. I tried very hard to understand, but it didnt work. I was even more frustrated for feeling so stupid. Then the connection was choppy again. and then the call was dropped.

ARGHHHHHH YOU WORTHLESS SONNA BITCH YOU! YOU FUCKING SHIT! DAMN YOU! I HOPE YOU HAVE 3 FINGERED MONKEY BABIES YOU STUPID BITCH! DO YOU HAVE PIZZAS IN INDIA YOU WORTHLESS BITCH!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!

Now here I am. Pissed. Aggravated. Tired. Im not stupid, but I feel like a complete moron. I connected the Ethernet straight into the modem just to have some connection. Fuck this shit. Im going to sleep, and then I am going to yell at them in the morning. Im sorry for the angry blog.. I needed to vent.
