I live…again…
By Jesse Morgan | April 28, 2006
So I’m back in Michigan and holy hell does it feel good. a quick rundown is in order:
- got to MI alright
- like the new job
- movers broke a minimum of stuff, but had no common sense (packed a brush and a mirror together and put weight on top of the mirror, yet wadded up my spring jacket, wrapped it in padding, and taped the packing shut around it,)
- recieved our good within a reasonable amount of time (packed it on thursday, was unpacking sunday). None of this “we forgot your stuff” BS that that other place did.
- got dicked by cyberonic. they screwed up the address, and didn’t bother telling me until I called *THEM*. Found out it was gonna take 2 more weeks after I got here. when I got here I saw that Jasnet (one of my original contenders when I planned on moving away from SBC) had a “ramblewood special” for our complex- 6meg down, 1 meg up for $30/month. Cyberonic wanted $70 for 6meg down 768k up. That’s why this site and IRC have been down so long- I switched ISPs.
- Jasnet sent me the wrong install package- they had to send someone out to set the line for the special, which made it take longer than normal.
- began rebuilding draccus right before my parents showed up (they came to visit my last week in DC) and didn’t get finished before coming to MI- draccus has been half installed for 2 weeks
- Jackie still needs a job
- the CPU fan on Jaxon died- Jaxon is currently down
- I really need to find a better theme than this one
I am so happy to be back in GR. Oh, and I went bike riding the other day down kent trails- other than my allergies and riding an uncomfortable bike, it was fun. Draccus is back up and running now, and hopefully I

I am guessing this is not the right time to brag on how Comcrap upgraded me to 16MB down… nevermind.
You got lucky. When we moved from Germany to Virginia it took about two months to receive our furniture shipment. We ended up buying new furniture a little bit at a time.

If you want to try some company on a bike ride some time let me know. My wife doesn’t have a bike right now and I am trying to make sure I keep getting some exercise.
BTW, try this link:

(a bit dated, but the best trail map I have found so far. not too much detail, but enough to find the trails… I can’t understand why trail maps are so hard to find)

Wow my Comcast is only 3MB down with 384k up, so I am jealous of 6/1! And at $30 a month you can’t complain about that at all
