Public apology and explanation.
 

I was living in Halifax, Nova Scotia and just moved to Wolfville, NS. I got here on May 3rd and I had it setup to have my ISP (Eastlink) install my internet service on May 4th. So I waited and they didn't show up, I got to a pay phone and called them (Because I don't have a phone in my apartment yet because the phone company Aliant is currently on strike, which is also why I couldn't get dialup to get online, just my luck.) and asked why they didn't show and they told me basically that the address I gave them didn't exist, after bitching and talking to 3 different people at Eastlink, finally one of them found my apartment and told me they did show up, but had the wrong apartment number. I scheduled for them to come again and the earliest they would come was May 12th (Today).

The reason I'm writing this thread is I lost a lot of money and respect from a lot of my design clients. I'd like to work things out with all of them if possible and offer my full apologizes. I meant no harm and I hate taking the wrap for a bunch of dumbasses at Eastlink and Aliant, but I am.

I am online now and you can reach me on icq (127893368) and by email here. If I don't get around to you right away, then I will shortly, I have a lot of messes to clean up.

i hate payphones

it's true...Aliant is on strike

Ahh Midget honey I know how that shit works! Good thing you're stand-up enough to come out and say what happened... Hopefully your design customers will realize that you weren't flaking, sounds like 99.9% of that shit was completely out of your hands. Glad to have you back, I missed you!

I know how things go bad when your a designer bro. Sorry that happend to you. I nearly went to prison over a client that I didnt do anything to. I hated being in that biz.

glad you're back weeman, hopefully you can get it all sorted asap :thumbsup

good luck man...shit happens beyond our control sometimes. And if people can't accept that based upon their past experiences with you, then you're better off without them.

Holy shit, I thought I was the only unfortunate stuck out here in the ass-end of nowhere :D

The wife used to go to Acadia U, but we're living in Halifax now.

It's great up here if you don't have allergies like me. :(

sucky story!

That is really bad luck
i hjate when shit liek that happens
good thing to post and explain it though
im sure everyone has had problem with their ISP at some time

you live in the middle of nowhere. thats the problem! :)

I'm glad you're not dead, I didn't waste the money on that hitman for nothing. :glugglug

Your situation sucks, for sure.

I hope you get it all straightened out....sounds like you're a real stand up guy.

Midget is awesome people, and he's a talented designer, too :)

phone companies and cable companies suck ass.

it took my weeks of going back and forth with my cable company to get my internet back up after i moved.

Good on ya for coming out and explaining your situation. I hope your clients understand what's going on for you.

I still love that banner you did for me. :)

I know how it goes, bad things happen all the time. I hope everyone understands and everything works out for you :)

No problem here.
