Nice getting to meet you at camping. It was a fun weekend and good times were had by all.
Sorry to hear that Verizon was so stupid like that. I've had to deal with my cable internet company bricking my connection because of uploading a tad too much, and it was the same way - back and forth, call after call. They finally fixed the problem after nearly a week and at least a call a day.
In your case, I'd call customer service and ask to speak to a supervisor. Calmly tell them the situation and ask if you can at least get some sort of a credit for the lost time online and for being on the phone so much with them. Explain that you've made x number of calls, taking many hours of your time - and if that doesn't help I'd say hang up, wait a bit and call again so you speak to someone else. If you've got cable internet in your area you can allude to switching, even if you have no intention of doing so. Hopefully you shall be compensated for the lost time...

Flux was (is, but speaking in past tense for affect) someone whom I both looked up to... Read More
Re. your previous blogs: Man. Everybody else gets all the good chats online!
About this blog, I didn't have feelings about Flux specifically, but I can relate to the kind of disappointment you describe. In a sense, it can sound weird to miss someone you've never met, but I know what you're talking about. The people to whom we are attached (in ways big and small) are often irreplacable.
I love preserving these desperate late-night IM's:
