52WOCC2 - Week 19

I hate computers, no sooner than I get a brand spanking new PC our internet goes down and I can't get on it for an entire freaking weekend! It's just not fair... SO I warn you this post might be a bit ranty! 
On Friday I was merrily working away on my photo for the challenge, putting together something that seemed to work on the poop colour background. It turned out a little red for a true match to the colour put up by Luna, but I just wasn't having any luck looking for the poopie shade. After last year and the marathon brown list I didn't really get into this week's colour too much, but THEN IT HAPPENED! 
The net dropped. I spent a good few hours trying to get it working again, trying many of th tricks of the trade, everything I could think of. Hell was asleep at the time due to his RL work schedule meaning he had come in from a night-shift, but I was huffing and puffing so much it woke him up. He was not amused, first at me then at the internet. We also had to check into our TV and Phone, neither worked, no surprise there as both come from the internet. 
Hell got on the phone, his mobile I might add, to a phone line that cost 10 cents PER MINUTE, double that even from a mobile, and talked to someone in fast Dutch that I had no comprehension of. As I waited, he seemed to get more and more pissed off, I almost demanded that the person on the end of the phone talked to me in English, but that would have gotten us no where I feel... They promised that they would send someone out, but we were told that the engineers don't work Friday evenings or Weekends... This meant that we would be without the net until MONDAY!! No Phone, No TV, No Internet - NOTHING! 
Pissed as we were, we had to accept it, what else could we do... Hell spent the weekend playing video games when he was not at work, and I buried myself in a good book, but then Monday came and went with no word from an engineer... Apparently, the company had "forgotten" us. I personally think it was just some malicious little shite that worked for the company getting their own back by not putting it into the database, as Hell had been more than a little pissed off! 
Still, this morning someone came to fix it, he had a look in the local connection box about two streets over and you will NEVER guess what he found. Someone seems to have been working on something in the box, its filled with phone-lines, power cables and the like, and they accidentally knocked our cable out!!! WHAT THE HELL IT TOOK HIM 2 MINUTES AND WE ARE BACK ONLINE!!!! WE WAITED ALL WEEKEND FOR SOMETHING THAT TOOK A GUY 2 MINUTES TO FIX!!!! 
Needless to say, the company - KPN for anyone interested, will be getting a VERY strongly worded letter... and my picture isn't as good as I wanted it to be but after that I am just not really in the mood to faff around and make something better, especially when the colour reminds me of the shitty treatment we got from this company already this weekend!
