Silence

Phones dead. DHCP signal lost. Ringing silence. Nice silence. Unacceptable silence. Reset router. Find router. Which router? Switch off router. Switch back on. Nothing. Repeat. Nothing. Note to get telephone service provider in for review. Note to check service contract before review. Note to make ironic point in meeting about service or lack of it. I smile. Scratch. Scratch. Think. Think. Unplug router. Wait. Think. Think. Plug in router. Switch back on. Green light. Green light. Green light.

Victory!

Emerge from basement like conquering hero of old. Heroes welcome lacking. Non existent. Moral victory.
