Stuff Is Breaking Down Around Here Again...

This was what I did in the early part of today...this is my Facebook status with extra stuff added in...

The power wasn't working under the computer desk (meaning wireless, power to the main computer et al wasn't going.) Since the usual fixes weren't working, I figured it was the surge protector. I had to cut the old surge protector in half, (help) move the desk, lift up the plywood, carve a hole in the wall, rip the paneling off the separator wall, shove the new cord through, plug it all it in, nail the paneling back into place, move everything back (with help again)...and it still didn't work. For a bit, I hooked the wireless to a different plugin, but Internet was a problem because people might have needed to walk down the hallway and that's where the cord was.

Twenty minutes after I put this as my Facebook status, Dad fixed the problem by plugging in the woodstove fan downstairs. This after we destroyed a surge protector and wasted valuable time and energy trying to fix the problem.

And repeats are always welcome...a year ago tomorrow I applied at the University of Leicester. And today I applied at...you guessed it. Same place, same job all over again. I also applied at Utah State again.

So far today, the computer has broken down, the tractor quit working, the golf cart ran out of gas, and the phone is dead. The good news is, two of those things fixed themselves, the third is easy to remedy. The fourth is a question at the moment but these things happen.

Let's hope the damn phone fixes itself.

Ta,
Bec

Note from the day after: All the messing around with the computer slightly unplugged a cord on the phone modem. So after calling the phone company trying to get it fixed, the robo-voice lady told me to check the modem. And then I felt like a damn fool when I plugged it in.
