Update: stolen cables

Hey guys!  Thought I'd give you an update on our internet situation. 
 
Yesterday was Workers Day and this weekend is Easter in Jordan, so the Government declared that today would be a holiday instead of yesterday, to make it a long weekend - yeah!  Given the holiday situation, it seems less people are on-line, so I have actually been able to spend some time on the internet today, feeding the addiction. 
 
Apparently, according to the latest gossip, six fairly senior employees of one of the internet service providers were unfairly dismissed and decided to take their revenge on the company by disabling strategic internet cables as a parting gift.
 
So, not quite the cable theft we were used to in South Africa, but with exactly the same frustrating effect.  In two weeks' time I am going back to South Africa for a month to sort out some issues surrounding our house and to visit the Golden Oldies.  I can only hope the internet issues have been successfully resolved by the time I get back. 
 
Here's hoping...
