connectivity weirdness

So my Internet service was out when I signed on this morning around 9AM. I normally tutor my goddaughter in French every Thursday at 11AM (when it's 9PM the previous day in Fredericksburg, Virginia); service was still out when tutoring time rolled around, so I had to cancel. The strange thing was this: a repair guy came to my studio and said he'd received a call that service was out in 302—my room. But I had made no such call. He told me that service would likely be restored "in the afternoon." After speaking with me in Korean the entire time, he reinforced his point by saying "afternoon" in English. I almost laughed.

    A service guy showed up at your room even though you never made a call? The answer is obvious, I think: your room is sentient.
