I'm poor

So, I came home last night after work and found that my internet was down. I troubleshot a bit, restarted my cable modem, rebooted my router, etc. Nothing worked. I booted up Firefox to try again, but this time was directed to a CableOne site. A bit to my surprise, the site read:

"Your internet has been deactivated due to nonpayment. Please contact your local CableOne office."

Whoops. I suck at life. I'm so damn poor that I couldn't afford to pay my cable bill until a week ago (then in true dumbass fashion, forgot to pay it until I was 'reminded' yesterday). Yay to being a restaurant server. :/

Anyone have an unsecured wireless router in your building?

I live in a house, but nobody near me has one up. Not like it matters now. I paid my bill and they reactivated it this morning.

Maybe try getting a better job. No offense, but there are plenty of opportunities out there to better yourself, if you have the drive to make them happen they will happen. I came to Florida with 35$ in my pocket and made [censored] happen.

Well, I do have a college degree. You're preaching to the choir here, chief.

I have this job as an interim thing before I go to ATC school in January (already admitted, actually).

Sorry, missed that part. I've been there. I scrubbed toilets to get me thru college and I once ate potatos and onions for a week. Finish school, it is well worth it. It will turn around for you, you just have to give it time.
