30th June, 2020.
Did I mention I have a mobile phone … ?
I’ve got a mobile phone: on O2, so you know.
The week before last?
A local mast went down: meaning I couldn’t make, or accept, calls when at home.
If you’re jobhunting, that can be …
Can be unhelpful: if the mast’s down, there’s a very good chance you can’t receive incoming calls about interviews, or appointments.
Annoying? Yes!
There was little I could do about it, except wait.
Until, in theory, yesterday.
As that, according to the O2 website, was when we’d hear whether the mast was back in action.
I went back to the site, yesterday.
To find that date had been revised.
We’s now going to find out that will be happening … next Monday.
I’m not happy.
And thinking I should emend some form of compensation.
Especially as O2 have this habit of handing out refunds.

Did you follow my digital poverty pieces?
Broadly, I’m trying to find out how various people are helping those of us who can’t get online: especially with Lockdown in place.
The first piece I did was all about schools.
And I’ve managed to follow that up … by sending an email to the Department for Education.
Last night.
From what I can see, it’ll take three working weeks to hear back from them: at least.
We’ll have to see what happens.
