My modem fried itself. Actually it was more of froze. Thats what the technician with a heavy Indian accent said. " Sometimes this model has a tendency to lock up, and you can only unlock it with multiple factory resets". Define 'multiple'. 8? 29? 73,000?
Thus, after 8500 resets, i gave up and decided to order a new modem online with Charles. Thanks to Marianne for lending us her internet. Not that we like her very much. Just that her house is the nearest.
However, this online shop also has a problem with numbers. '1 day to arrive', they said. Its been 3. Maybe we have to wait 73,000 years.
In the meantime, me and Louise have decided to write another joint essay. Flip the dictionary for a word, check the thesaurus and use the word 4 times with the same meaning. She got "equivalent" and i got "ludicrous". Fortunately she went first this time. If i had to start i would probably write this: "The Modern Day concept of time & numbers is becoming ludicrous, ridiculous, absurd, comical, farcical, laughable, preposterous, risible, dumb, idiotic and silly. Only supposed to use it 4 times?Sorry, can't you count?
