Working the polls for 14.5 hours was tough enough. But while we were there, the electricians from the solar panel installers came back to finish the job without telling us. And somehow, they broke our Internet connection (they claim they were gentle, of course).

So, the kids were stuck at home on a day without school (because of the election) or the ability to do most of their homework or use TV or YouTube, etc. And I have to stay home from my one-office-day-a-week tomorrow to hope that AT&T can fix the Internet.

General rule, people: don't do work on a customers house if the customers don't know you're going to be there.

Good news - the internet company showed up before 8:30 and had it fixed before 9. Apparently, the root problem was a poor install by the internet company - the solar electricians shouldn't have been able to break it if it had been done right in the first place.
