• TETHERED

  I got up at 5:00 AM this morning to watch The Outer Limits and The Patty Duke Show on This TV,  but actually I think I'm just excited for Verizon to call me and to set up an appointment so they can come out and fix my modem.  I can't wait to say,  "oh, I'm on another call,  can  you hold on just a second?"  and put them on hold and leave them there.  

  I can't wait to do this over and over again and I am going to count how many times they attempt to call me.

  I streamed lined my hard drive to run a bit faster tethered to the cell phone so shit like the HP Photo software and "dropbox" and other stuff isn't running automatically.

  The tethering does slow the speed a tiny bit but it hasn't bothered me.   I haven't been watching video on the web for a while,  just blogging and checking email...

  Today is the first day back to the regular world of work after "summer vacation"... I am actually anxious to get back.

  I will work one day and then have a CAT scan of my sinuses and have it reviewed by the ENT,   if she approves, then the oral surgeon will do the "root canal" of the dead and rotting root and hopefully all this won't involve my sinus,  although I believe it does now as I am feeling symptoms.

  Of course I am aware they could be psychosomatic, however I am aware of a constant post nasal drip... perhaps I just wasn't aware of it before....

  a few more days will get it all out in the open,   so to speak anyway.

  I'll then be off on Thursday and Friday and Monday and Tuesday which was a day I could have chosen not to work anyhow because of the irregular schedule they keep there...

  I need to see if I can still print out the Times Crossword over this connection...

  There are so many choices out there..... My building is old and my choices are limited that way but the RCN guy was out there yesterday and I asked him about the services....

  ... he said the building may not be wired,  but he would call the landlord and ask about wiring it,  the building next door is wired....

  I may just go ahead and SUBMIT to Time Warner again,  I remember HATING them before VERIZON... NOW I hate Verizon....  I think it is probably the infrastructure here now that I know more about it...

  Next building has to be wired,  unless the apartment is great.   I wish I could remove my apartment from the building it is and put it in a newer building.

  I stay in this apartment because it is very affordable and because it has everything on my check list:

  1. Large porcelain bath tub big enough to soak in.
  2. "Eat-in" Kitchen"
  3. More than one exposure, one being West
  4. Windows in every room (including bathroom)
  5. Natural light.

  You can't be so picky here unless you have a lot of money to spend but I got lucky.  Kind of....

  Anyhow... gotta go,    The Patty Duke Show is just starting... then I have to get out my clothes and shit, shower and shave and leave early.

  I got a new attitude,  a new routine  and am going to leave earlier than usual in order to arrive at work in time to do one chore a day before starting the day at the work place so I will not end up rushing any more.

  I don't like to rush.  I like to be early and settled in.

  Can you believe that it is fall in 10 or so days?   Someone said  "Halloween is next month!" and my heart dropped!
