Last night I spent most of the evening trying to get connected to the Internet. This was to no avail. I then put my networking skills to work and started tearing apart there phone system. This didn't go much farther then looking at the plug cause I didn't bring any tools... yes you read correctly... not even a screwdriver. My dad would be so disappointed at my unprepairedness. Please forgive me father :-)
Well.... after much reinstalling things on the laptop.... it was decided that the phone sucked and that it wasn't my fault. Thing to do... call Andrea and leave a message on her phone to tell her... no computing from Majestic. Off to bed disappointed. Phone rings..... time.... 3:30...... hell ? ..... Hi.... what ya doing? Needles to say its Andrea in my opinion returning my call. We chat for a while and then it comes out that why wasn't I surprised that she called..... I said why should I be you are returning my call. She says she wasn't... she proudly announced that she tracked me down on the Internet ( like I said earlier.... she gives me a run for my money on the Net ) I mentioned the hotle name to her..... and she figured out the rest. Even got past the non english speaking night shift.... she is so awesome ! ! !
So today..... what to do about the phone. I went to the front desk with my predicament. I need the net... I am suffering from a whole day without it.... some of you who know me well.... realize... this is a problem for me.... I feel so disconnected. I explain the problem with the room to a dingy little counter clerk who says I have a room equiped with modem access and that there is nothing wrong.... I need to learn how to use my computer becasue people use the phone for that purpose all the time. OK.... that was plesant.... I ask her repeatedley to just let me try another room becasue I know the comptuer works.... and I suspect the wiring ( people who know phone systems..... the green and yellow wires where switched. So their phone system must have been running on the second line ( black and red ) which worked fine ) but she wouldn't budge.... Bitch ! ! I asked on more time... and out of getting tired of saying no, she said the belhop would help me. Bellhop didn't speak english.....this will be fun.....
We go to the room. I demonstrate the phone works, when the phone is disconnected the phone in bathroom doesn't work. I then unplug the phone entireley. Phone in bathroom doesn't work. I plug the modem in, phone in Bathroom still doesn't work. So.. conclusion.... the phone has some sort of special wireing that is responsible for making the phone in the bathroom work... ie... non standard. I still think the green yellow wire switch is responsible.... Bellhop.... confused escalates the problem to his boss.... circumventing the charming desk clerk. Manager.... same guy who took my call last night asking why I couldn't dial out... also tired of listening to me.....tells me everything is full and can't help. I recall an internet station in the bar....and ask if I can use the phone line associtated with that. He comes back with.... impossible... needs special adapters.... which you and I know as a modem cable. With him sitting there.... we log into the network and I get my mail..... he is amazed and can not explain what is going on.... I tell him for the last time.... the wiring is screwed up in room 201.
