For crap's sake

Last night, just as I was getting into writing emails and being productive, something went *WHUMP* with my Internet connection.
Instead of being able to really work on the modem, I had to shut everything down and go to bed. feeling rather disjointed about it.
This morning it was still down, so a reset of the modem was in order before calling ComCast and having a cow (so to speak)
The reset was the charm.
I was getting packets to the modem, and to the Computer, and FROM the computer, but then it failed to send out from there. I don't have any idea how it happened. All I know is I REALLY needed to talk to someone after getting home from Goffee, and COULDN'T since the only logical solution at that time, AIM, was denied me.

Add another reason onto the "Why this needs to be MY place" argument. If I had been able to turn the light on for more than a second last night, since I WAS able to unplug the modem quickly, and thr router, but that obviously wasn't enough, I could have taken care of this last night. Argh.

I had a post from last night, but it doesn't seem appropriate now. I don't feel so down now. Last night was - hurty. That's all I can say.

*Addendum* Strike that - NOW I feel crappy. *sighs*

Life isn't all bad

I'm at the office on the Cape today.

-The loud grumpy asshat is not here, actually he's off on a "boy's golf" weekend in SC.
-The boss's daughter, the other wage slave here, has left for the day, after helping me get prepped and stuff for the work I have to do.
- The Int0rWeb is working, without a hitch
- The work I have is NOT stressful in any way, just needs to be done before the boss gets back next week.
- I have hooked up the speakers and am streaming my favorite Streaming station - RadioIo 80's, which is currently playing MC900Ft Jesus. Hmmm, Trent......
- the boss has called, and sounds relatively relaxed, which is great.
- Evil Plot 3A is progressing nicely - announcement on that once it's confirmed.
- I have coffee (Iced Hazelnut Black from DD's I actually DO like black coffee, especially in the heat of summer/today. Sometimes cream and sugar are just - too much)
- In three days I get to watch one of my best friends on the happiest day of his life - no matter what I think, he's thrilled and that really is the important thing.
-I have some of the best friends and evil bitch like me could ask for. From Evil Plot 3A's cohort - the big D - to my nice new Expatrioted Brit I met last night (*waves*)
- The drama of Tuesday and yesterday has evened itself out. I think I can actually TALK about it rather than react. It's the one thing very few people get - that the Drama Queen Leo needs to CALM the fuck DOWN before she's capable of rational thought. Or talk. (of course, the Tuesday drama has actually worked into an interesting confusion, rather than settled down, like Yesterday's. I think I can talk to yesterday's when he's ready. Tuesday's - I just don't know.

I was planning on an early night home, but I think I'm going to work til it's at least dark, so I don't have to drive home in the setting sun, besides it's 2PM and I haven't done a lick of work yet *evil grin* I don't want to put it all off til next week.

I think I've decided on one thing I'd like to see in someone new I meet that I'd be interested in, as more than a friend - a healthy love and respect for Sesshomaru. Perhaps even closet fantasies about. I want to do some Manga InuYasha reading, to get glimpses into Sesshomaru as a developing character that I'm not getting out of the Anime. He totally facinates me. I feel an essay coming on.

This weekend - primping and wedding, and a brunch!
Next weekend - Massive amounts of Ebaying. If Evil Plot 3A is to be enacted, I'm going to need some money.

work now - I think I'll shut the window in favor of *GASP* A/C! There's construction going on outside and it's loud and sucky.

Evil Travel Plan 3A

Ok, so I think everything is confirmed, so I'm going to announce it before I burst!

Big D and I are going to London and Edinburgh. In about 3 weeks.

*SQUEEEEEL*

We have been talking about a vacation, and wanted a package sort of deal. I saw some stuff on MSN about 2 weeks ago that has developed into this full fledged plan.

We leave overnight on a Monday, the 17th to be exact. We have three nights in what appears to be a SUPER hotel, although we have yet to receive final confirmation of that, right near Paddington Station. Then on Friday the 21st, we fly to Edinburgh to an ABSOLUTELY Awesome hotel, near the Palace at Holyrood in Edinburgh (I'm MAD for Queen Elizabeth the 1st, and I'm tickled pink to see this castle, finally!) The hotel in Scotland even has a spa, which Big D is drooling over. I assume we'll be planning on some spoiling ourselves treatments there. We'll be back on Monday the 24th, after a VERY long day travelling.

We have airfare, hotels, and air between Edinburgh and Heathrow all for one Pretty Damn Spiffy package price. we need to cover touristy things, and food, but she and I are planning on a very low key, low spending type of vacation, and it'll be easy with her, watching everything. My only concern is the potential of finding my Vollers corset - I want to have enough money to pick that up if I locate one. I do have options here, but I fear money will restrict me as I try to get everything in order. getting one in England and bringing it home with me, is SO the best choice!

Now, to just make arraingements with two clients, and make sure everyone else is happy before I go

LONDON AND CAMBRIDGE PEOPLE - be prepared to be invaded! *grins* We only have 3 days, so time will be of the essence. I'd like to see everyone, maybe I can pursuade poetman to host a meet *evil grin* but I also know he's very busy, and we'll be there midweek, which is bad for the hard studying peeps. Perhaps a lunch meeting in London, and drinks in Cambridge? I'll work out the details with Big D, about how much time she can allot to me seeing my friends - I don't want her to be bored, or feel cheated.

(Pssssssst emarkienna You'd better take a couple of days off - to see me, then recover *EVIL grin* *smootches*)

Ok, somehow I have to go back to work. I need this, worse than I did last year.
