communication failures

snailmail: as i mentioned 2 weeks ago, my mail has been completely whacked out. i didn't get any mail for over a month, and while i've started getting some in the last week or so, i'm still missing a ton of mail from february and march. i've complained about my missing mail and they keep telling me that there's nothing that can be done-- that i just need to wait for it to trickle in over time because it's 'downtown.' i asked if there was anything i could do, and they told me i could come in and fill out a Form 1510. so i went in and asked for a Form 1510, but then they told me it wouldn't do any good because for the Form 1510 to work i'd need to know what it is i was looking for specifically. as in, having them look for a specific piece of mail. well, the thing is that i don't know what all i'm missing, i just know that i'm missing a lot of my regular mail. so i'm having a few checks reissued in the meantime and i'm waiting on bills and i'm hoping that regular mail starts trickling back in. but this story ain't over yet...

internet: last week i started noticing that i was having difficulty with my online connection at home. one of my email addresses (and only that one) kept not connecting and wouldn't let me send or receive emails. and while i could eventually get on websites, it would force me to connect separately for the website each time. it was stupid and horrible...

phone line: so on top of the problems with my internet connection via my phone line, my phone line also completely dropped dead yesterday afternoon. which meant that my internet was now completely off, as well as not having any home phone dialtone. so i took my laptop to the coffeehouse and looked up online to see what i could do and they said that my phone line was not in existence! ugh... today i called and they looked it up and said that my phone line was working and that i should try a few things to get it back to work. i'll try that a little later today when i'm back home, but in the meantime, my communication problems persist.

but why?

Sometimes when the universe (or god or whatever) is trying to send you a message it keeps sending it more and more forcefully until you finally get it. This sounds like an example of this. Obviously you are getting a message from the universe about "communication". Since every form of non-face-to-face communication has broken down for you lately, maybe it means that you are communicating too much from a distance. Start getting together and doing some one-on-one time with people.

On that note, I'm considering a trip to SF in the next month or so. I'd love it if we could get together!

on another note, looks like my phone line had been chewed threw in the basement of my building and so that's why it was down. they fixed it, and away we go!
