Grrrr... nothing here is going right. Well, now my internet finally is, but it was down yesterday, despite the fact that I had only had it for one day! My cell phone gets very, very bad reception here. My new lamp is also already broken. The Verizon people said they'd come yesterday to set up my phone, but they never showed. And when I called again, they said they never even scheduled it, and could I please wait 7-10 days for a working phone? And it's just annoying because it's really difficult getting a job search going when I can't put a phone number on my resume because my cell doesn't work well enough!
I'm also getting very sick of cleaning... Luckily, the bulk of that is done now. I finally got a filing cabinet yesterday (built it all by myself), so at least all my papers are off my desk, which only comes with one drawer. Grrr. These desks made for computers have no room for storing anything. I pasted some mesh kitchen utensil organizing thing in the keyboard slat, so it kind of acts as a drawer for pencils and stuff. Good things -- the boy is buying me a wireless router for my birthday (thank you boy!), so soon I can put my laptop on my desk instead of sitting on the floor. The ethernet cable they gave me isn't long enough... I was going to buy a new one, but then the boy said he'd get me Wi-Fi. I love love love wireless to death. We had it in the Taipei apartment, and it was just wonderful. I could watch TV and diddle around online, go to my bedroom and do stuff. I just love that. Because you never know when you need internet ;).
So today... must go to the bank and deposit my last paycheck from Charter, sniff. Granted, it was only about 60 dollars a week, but it was still spending money. Also need to go to the Chinese supermarket and buy groceries so I can start cooking, now that I have pots and plates. Maybe I'll drop by Books Inc. to see if they are hiring people.
I feel much better now that I've thrown my old phone around. I know it's horribly childish, but every time I get so mad and frustrated that things don't work the way they are supposed to. And breaking things makes me feel better. And it always frustrates me more when I have to go look around for things that are safe and ok to be thrown around that will still make a satisfying smack.
