Adventures at the Honda Dealer

I went to the car dealership to get my AC fixed, as I already said. I decided I was going to be all hip and cool and bring my netbook along and get some work done in my online class. So, I dropped the car off, turned my netbook on... and nothing. I couldn't get the Internet. AT. ALL. The little card I got to sign up for their network thing... yeah, not working at all. So I flagged down an employee and asked him what was wrong with the Internet. He, in turn, flagged down the resident "technical" guy, who had absolutely no idea what was wrong.

We must have spent, like, half an hour on this. The main reason we had issues was because this netbook has Windows 7 on it, which I am completely unfamiliar with. Unfortunately, so was the "technical" guy. Finally, after 40 minutes, we exhausted every other option, so he reset the router. Twice. After that, the Internet finally began working. He apologized profusely, saying that the router being way in the back under a counter was the main reason. Apparently, they have to reset the router three times a day. Wow.

I was just so appreciative of the guy taking time out of his day to help me out. It really made my day. :)
