susandennis | Mulligan, Please!!!

It really started yesterday. I got an email on my work machine that said my machine was going to be booted off the network if I didn't update these specific files. I didn't understand the instructions and didn't want to randomly install shit so I went to Windows Update and found there was a giant pile of important, but not critical, updates. So I clicked up update. It took for freakin' ever.

So finally, when it was done, and I had rebooted a couple of times, I checked my speed. Slow. I rebooted the modem, the router, the extender. Still slow but I figured all my neighbors were home downloading porn so I'd do it in the morning.

This morning I had internet - even wireless - my radio alarm woke me up with NPR - but it was still really slow so I rebooted everything again. And nothing. No wireless. No internet. Nothing.

I fucked with it all for about an hour all the while saying the technical rosary of goddamnitmotherfuckerworkyoudick!! And finally, that combined with the cats whining in sympathy (or was it because I did not feed them first?? - they need to articulate more accurately), it finally all worked.

I grabbed my coffee and my laptop to return to my regular chair and then proceeded to dump my nearly full cup of coffee all over the chair and ottoman.

Oh yeah baby... I need a do over.

And just now I realized the webcam is down.

But my internet speed is back up.
