My New Vocation 

Comcast has come and gone. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, I already have the full range of skills employed by cable techs. Last night, I checked the stats on my connection and noticed a lot of "noise" on my line. While I didn't know exactly what that meant, I figured it might be caused by a bad cable. So I changed the cable and the connection came back up. I didn't cancel my repair appointment, figuring there must be something more to it than that (and I still think there is...). But, when I told the tech I had changed the cable, he said that was all he was going to do and, if it's up and running now, there's nothing else he can do.

So, that's that. Until the next time it goes down at precisely the wrong moment.
