No DSL. Possible bankruptcy.

It looks like we're not going to get DSL after all. Called CenturyTel this morning to tell them they sent me the wrong modem/router, and didn't send the wireless connector for our notebook computer. She looked at the records and then told me that the order has been CANCELED :-( I asked why, and she told me that we're still not close enough to a junction box, that when they (customer service) looks at the screen and it says you are able to get it, it then goes on to processing and they delve deeper into the situation. Once they did that, they concluded that we can't get it. I told them that I know of at least one person on the other side of the highway, about 2 miles from here as the crow flies, has DSL. She tried to get a hold of the maintenance people to find out when it may be scheduled to get us hooked-up, but they weren't answering their phone. So she left a message and they'll either call her or us with more information. Meanwhile, they're sending me a return postage label for the modem I got, so I can send it back. I'm totally frustrated with them, and really, REALLY disappointed. I will be calling them every week though to ask if it's available yet. Oh yeah, she said that the maintenance guy that was going to come on Monday, won't be coming, and that they sent out the cancellation notice yesterday.

In other news, Rain and I have decided that if the house doesn't sell by the time the contract is up with the current realtor, we're going to have to take the house off the market and look into bankruptcy. We've got credit card debt of $18K, are having to spend $150-$200/month for gas for the van, and just can't keep making the payments with the income we get for my disability :-( So, if you'd like to buy our house, do it quickly, or hold your peace for a while.
