On DSL, Part 3


Sometimes I'm so prescient it's precious.

Remember last week, when I said:

How much do you want bet that the official Covad technician does not physically need to do a thing, and will make the trip out to the building feeling foolish, but dressed in a nice blue uniform. Maybe with a clipboard. Definitely with one of those phone line checker things. And a toolbelt.

Oscar arrived today. Wearing blue. And carrying so many tools that his (not a joke) toolbelt had another toolbelt hanging off it. He was a phone-repair sherpa.

The conversation went like this:

Oscar: Oh. It's already installed, dude.

Me [sagely]: I know, dude.

Oscar: Alright then. Be seeing you.
