I'm up, I'm up - barely.
I was awakened at five-thirty by the voices of men talking loudly. I thought it was my neighbors having a fight, but I've never heard a peep from the house that's near the bedroom (the only residence I could possibly hear anything from). So, I tried to go back to sleep, but the voices kept on yakking. I got up and finally realized they were coming from the street, where a big truck was working on some line, and the men were trying to talk over the noise of the motor.
I went to get online to complain, and noticed that there was no cable signal. I called Adelphia and got the recorded message that they were doing maintenence and it would be done on or about six o'clock. I finally went back to bed, and when the phone awoke me at nine, I checked the cable modem box and all was well. Who knew the Adelphia hub was in front of my house - or was it just coincidence that there were workers up there at that time of the morning?
