Okay, so, I'm not feeling _better_, but I'm awake now and I'm up and I'm feeling like I should at least get out of bed and go chew on some mail or a power cable or something.

Getting a phone call for "Mr. Liminal" from a Comcast rep trying to get back our old shitty modem has not helped my mood.

... and no, that isn't a joke. The poor rep was clearly calling from a foreign call center and didn't know how to handle the business-account-at-home situation I had, but he'd been instructed to act like an American native to get better results from folks, so he was gamely trying to parse "Transliminal" as somebody's name.

And to his absolute credit, when I told him "I have the flu; I'm not going to put a date on my wellness," he offered to send a tech to the house instead of demanding I drive somewhere to drop off the old modem. So, props to you, "Paul from Atlanta."

@literorrery "yeah uh... Mr. Liminal is uh... kiiiiiiinda not here right now..."

@Fuego @literorrery "Well, he is and he isn't here. He's in his office, and also on an interstellar cruise."
