Went to the Musée d’Orsay today. I will share some thoughts and some unique works I liked at some point when I get home from now, but in the meantime please enjoy the funniest painting I saw there: Georges Rochegrosse’s Le Chevalier aux fleurs, or, translated into English, The Knight Who Is Drowning in Pussy. (NSFW: French painting)
I’m contemplating a great mystery here. For the last couple of months, our internet has been garbage, constantly going out, usually just for a few minutes at a time, but sometimes for up to a half hour or so. This morning, it was particularly bad. I thought I was going to have to go into the office because I didn’t think I was going to be able to sign on for work. So I scheduled a technician to come out this afternoon. Before I went to the office, I tried a few more times to sign in and finally was able to. And then, the internet began working flawlessly. I’ve been able to work steadily for hours without losing the connection. I realize this is a silly thing to say, but it kind of feels like my internet company is just messing with me.
Update: the guy is here now. He said our modem/router and cables inside are all fine, but he can’t even detect an internet connection at the pole. He’s replacing a cable outside and putting in an order for a repair to the pole itself because it’s a disaster up there (I’m paraphrasing second-hand information, so that may not exactly be right). Also, while he was outside checking the pole, one of our neighbors apparently approached him and asked what the hell had been going on with his internet, so it seems that we are not alone in our troubles.
I live in a condo, whenever I see the at&t truck I get scared because it means one of my neighbor's Internet is out, and sometimes the repair guy just gives them another units internet access and leaves. So they are back the next day for the other unit then another day for another unit until finally we get a technician who admits the other technicians were just swapping working Internet connections between units and then he actually fixes it for everyone and it takes him four hours.

It took a day and a half but the other guys came out and finished what the first guy put in a ticket for. As of now, it has been consistently working. I really feel like we got lucky that we had a guy come out who actually seemed like he gave a shit. He called and checked up to make sure we got fixed up. I filled out the survey today and tried to make it clear how much we appreciated the service that he gave us.

We have a new neighbor in our building. She’s in her 70s and absolutely batshit.
She called my boyfriend last week asking about the Verizon boxes in the basement. We thought she needed help getting internet set up. Nope. She wanted to rip them out because she’s “sensitive to WiFi and electricity.”
We just found out from another neighbor, who is in the process of moving out, that she moved here because she dreamed of the tree in the front yard calling to her.
Happy 6th anniversary to the guy that stole a tank and drove it through downtown Richmond.
Around 7:50 p.m. on Tuesday, June 5, 2018, Joshua Yabut –a then-29-year-old soldier — drove an M577 armored personnel carrier from Fort Pickett in Nottoway County and into the streets of Richmond.
Yabut was chased by police on Interstate 95 and Broad Street before eventually surrendering at 11th Street in downtown Richmond. Police said Yabut exited the vehicle and got to his knees but did not comply with officers’ commands and was tased.

She’s got a wire hanging from her window attached to a brass stake in the ground. This is the least weird thing but I can’t figure out wtf it is and it’s bothering me the most.
She called Thursday asking if she could come over and talk to us about something. We said absolutely not, talk about it now on the phone. Now we have a weird pillowcase looking thing for our WiFi router. Don’t engage with batshit neighbors when you are drunk.
She called again last night but we ignored it. Then she texted “are you up?” Followed up with asking if we changed any setting on our router because she’s feeling even worse now and thinks we may have switched our router to 5G. Then she called two more times. From her iPhone.

Block. Y'all are neighbors not friends. You tried to be friendly but she's batshit crazy. Wash your hands off this madness. Also, I'm sorry you are dealing with her.

Thanks. we’re done with her. Once our landlord gets back from vacation, she’s blocked.

Have you told her about all the residual radiation that's probably emanating from her walls still because the previous tenant was a wifi engineer and tested all the new, unapproved tech at home? Or how you saw techs from the phone and cable companies snooping around her place together while she was out? I don't actually like the idea of playing to people's ridiculous fears, but maybe she'd be more comfortable if she were somewhere else, and you surely would.
I have a schizophrenic family member, who often thinks "they" are trying to make her fail. She believes anything (especially technology) that doesn't work correctly, or how she thinks it should, has been tampered with. It's sad because she's a wonderful person and generally does well with objective reality, but that disease can cause some bizarre delusions that are very hard to shake.
