Sunday Confession-No Wireless  

Posted by Renee

My wireless went kaput. I'm sure you all are thinking, no big deal, right?

Well, first the wireless came to a halt in the middle of a timed test. I improvised. The kids and I moved the kitchen table into the front room, and I completed the test.

The next day, after hours of trying to fix the router (it's only a year old) I finally admitted defeat and moved my desk and computer to the front room. It's not my choice of places but it'll have to do until a new router can be obtained. I have found things a little frustrating, but not too bad. I wait until after 11:00 p.m. when all is quiet to do my school. I've been there and done that before.

But, on Saturday, I had a duh moment. Without the wireless, the printer and the computer won't communicate. And I was planning on printing off the first three chapters of HH tomorrow. I really didn't want to take it to the copy place, especially since I have this thing about people reading my work as it is printing off.

Soon, I'll end up in the bathroom doing my school. I seem to get a neighbor's wireless signal in there. Besides, with one kid playing the electric guitar, another the piano, and the dh and ds on the X-Box World @ War game. . . . Well I guess you can imagine how flitty my brain is becoming.

Tomorrow, I'm buying a darn wireless, and moving back to the comfort of my bedroom where my Celiac-self can't smell the cookies or the cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. Not that I need them anyway, I'm just saying.

I take the loss of your wireless very seriously. It's at least as bad as the problems I'm having with a new firewall messing with my desk top's programs.

The loss of wireless would require me to sit on the floor just to the left of my television stand. So I consider that a major deal.

My desk is currently in the livingroom, and I have less population in my house than you do, so that's not so bad, but I'm considering moving it. I can't seem to find a place that feels like *my* place. It's very odd but I had the same problem in my old apartment too.

Good luck getting the new router set up and everything back to normal. I've had to deal with my router people on the phone twice and both times it was well over 2 hours. Gah!

My wireless at school is off and on. It drives me CRAZY! I have a MAC that's plugged in, but not all of my software will run on it. It's such a pain when I can't print from my laptop, especially when it's something I need for my very next class.

I could survive at home if I had to, but it would be a headache!

I feel your pain! Hugs.
