UPC

Ahh. UPC. Dutch communications company... television, internet, phone. All in one. Ok, sounds good to me. After a series of frustrating phone calls, I finally go and pick up the package containing the link from my apartment to the outside world. I should stop here and mention that the day I choose to do this is the Monday that I returned from a very quick weekend in Boston for a lovely wedding. Flew to Boston on Friday. Left Sunday afternoon. Arrived in Amsterdam on Monday morning at 7am. Went to work.

I unpacked the box and looked at all the different cables. Then I looked at the 8 instructions manuals in..... Dutch! Of course. Jet lag, package full of complicated cables and foreign instructions. I suppose I can wait another day for the internet. It's been a month.
