BaD #11 & 12: Too many roadblocks
Hey all. As you can see I’m still functioning or in lock up over my birthdays celebrations (yes I said BIRTHDAYS, I’ll blog on it later) so doing any “Bonus BaD” blogs over the weekend didn’t happen. I was having too much fun that I didn’t even get around to taking beard shots of myself. Sure I did take other pictures of myself during the weekend but those are a bit personal, and could also be used against me in a court of law.
But I did have the usual time I would need to continue this year’s BaD’s but once again technical issues got in the way. My internet got throttled down for a third time which prompted me to call my ISP to find out what was going on. And after going thru the usual computer operator and being put on hold to report a problem AND THEN troubleshooting with a tech on the line I was finally able to learn the following:
Due to unusual polar temperatures (yes they actually used that term) and double digit wind chill temperatures, my area’s network infrastructure is undergoing maintenance/repair/downtime for the rest of the month. They hope to be back up to normal running operation by the beginning of the 1st quarter.
I want to be mad but then again my area is rather remote and I’m lucky to get cable internet to begin with. For most of the winter I’ve had pretty consistent internet with very little downtime. Though our winter hear has not been as bad as it could’ve been, my area has gotten off pretty lucky all things considered. But it still sucks that I will get a throttle down to my internet speed at no warning anytime of the day.
Because of this I’m considering giving up doing BaD’s again. Two years ago it was because of Valentine’s Day. Last year it was my Birthday’s. It just seems I’m not able to catch a break when it comes to BaDs. And I really want to do BaD this year; I haven’t really found it a chore and I’ve really enjoyed reading up on other peoples BaDs and comments, even if I’m behind by 250 messages. And that’s just on pixlbit alone! But having two blogs lumped together doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of “Blog A Day”, even if I did spend the time to write an individual blog before I had to scrap that idea and create a whole knew (and longer) one.
Hers’s another back to back beard pictures. I think you might start to see why I’m not one for growing out my beard. If you look closely you can see that my beard color is not consistent. It’s a patchwork of black, brown, ginger, red, white and silver. Not sure if this is the norm for most beard growers but I’m not sure if this is something one would like to have in their beards. There are other issues at play too but I won’t get into them just yet.
Till next time I’ll try to see about piecing together what happened during my birthdays and see if I can return that traffic cone I found in my bed. Every year….
Wise “BaD” message of the day: Never step onto a cruise ship and say out loud: “This is my favorite kind of ship: Running with blood and seamen.”
