Feb. 16th, 2005 09:41 pmI am feeling the need to invest in DayQuil. Good good stuff! M bought some the last time he got sick but he didn't use it. It's kind of like computer books.. it's enough just to have them, you know, you don't have to actually read them, or take the medicine, for it to work. I was afraid of it a little bit this morning because cold medicine generally makes me loopy, but I was desperate by lunchtime, and lo and behold, it rather saved my day. It's really frustrating to have a cold while sitting in training all week, let me tell you. I'm wearing my neighbor out from the sheer volume of "bless you"s! Anyway, I'll try to stop writing about my cold but it's hard when you sit around thinking about that most of the day.
So we're having the DSL right now. The UPS guy tried to deliver the package yesterday, but we weren't home, and so they came back today at exactly the same time. I worked some magic to arrange to pick up the modem tonight at their location.. in Lexington. Since M works in Lexington and happened to get off work at around the same time as the package made it back to the building.. well, no problem! I also forced my sick self out in time to make it to the lab before they closed, and that's after working a full long (an hour longer than normal, or thereabouts.) day. So, yeah. The problem is that our "upgrade" has left us with half the speed we had before. M is dialing customer service. We'll see what happens. What a headache! C'mon, people, geeks need bandwidth. Get your acts together!
Speaking of geeks, two of my friends at work and I have decided to start our own company, develop a software program and get rich. Can you tell we're having fun with our training class this week? The main problem we're up against is.. well, the utter inability to think of a suitable project to get rich off of. Shucks. Also, even if we did come up with something, we probably wouldn't be able to stay motivated enough to actually follow through. But.. hey, it's an idea!
I am secretly giggling at my husband, who is now on the phone now with tech support. He totally has on the customer service voice that he developed after getting a job with this company. It sounds like he's the one providing service instead of the other way around. I imagine that he is very pleasant to deal with for the person on the other end of the line.
He's pleasant for me to deal with anyway!
I was just thinking that it would be delightful to be in bed right now, when it occured to me that there's nothing stopping me from going there. Being a grown-up is fun.
