Description : A quintessential look into a day in my life. I'm a crazy, sexy, cool, college chick with goals, dreams, and drama. Come read what's going on in my world!
Sup, I just wanted to drop by and wish everyone a good memorial day.... although its nearly over for the UK. But I hope you all had fun. I spent time doing laundry, grilling, and mostly chilling. I have a busy remaining work week. So I'll be back soon.
Sup, I've been busy doing some work and very little play. But this memorial day weekend I plan on treating my mom to the movies; there are some good flicks that are out. Like Night at the Museum, Star Trek, and Angels and Demons. All movies have actors in them that I admire for one reason or another. What are you up to?
Sup, If you haven't noticed already per the title of this entry... my region is experiencing lots of wind. I just got in from walking my dog. He had already gone for a little walk today, but my mom wanted to walk her pooch and since it was rather nice and breezy (imagine being at the beach without the water and sand), I decided to go for another walk.
Ah, these past few weeks I've been rather busy. I'm trying to make moves and I have appointments to go to...taking care of business. One unscheduled appointment I will have to skip because I need to prepare for an appointment I have in a few days.
Aside from that, I have rarely spent anytime working on my book. I have got to make time for it. I think as soon as I finish making this entry, I will read the last chapter I wrote and at least attempt to type a paragraph or two. I mean if I can make entry on here, I sure could make an entry in my book right?
Sup, So I've never claimed to be a technical whiz, but I am somewhat naturally gifted on the subject. I've always been partial to the computer and with the advent of the internet...well I was just beside myself with the world's largesst technical advancement. Nevertheless, its been giving me a headache for the past week.
About a week ago the computers in my house loss connectivety to the internet hub. At firt I thought something was wrong with the router... I eventually send it back to the store with another one in hand. It too would not connect. I spent hours on the phone with technical support.... they could not help. Instead they suggested the router I purchased was 'defective' and thus needed to be returned. The next day (Wednesday) it was returned. That eve, I proceeded to set up the router.... wishing it would work and alleviate my new pain in the arse (unhappy family awaiting to get online).
Much to my surprise and dismay, that stupid gizmo did not work! I once again got on the phone with their technical support. As if walking through a dejavu moment... I was told the machine was probably defective. After staying on the phone with their technical support, I decided I would return the product and get yet another router... only this time by a different manufacturer.
I took the 'defected' product back to the store and did an even exchange for a promising new router... I waited about an hour after I got home to go to work setting it up. Would you believe that crap DID NOT work!! I spent thirty minutes trying to fix the connection myself and another hour and a half talking to THEIR support techs. They were positively useless. I decided to call my ISP, to see if they could replace my modem... there was NO WAY THREE routers were defective? OR COULD THEY?
Today a technician came out... he reasoned, that there was nothing wrong with the modem because I was able connect directly to the internet when the modem was directly connected to my computer. He did said my internet speed is not on par with the norm, but there was very little he could do about it. Left me his cell number and told me to call if I needed some help. H-E-L-P!!!
I was just about to throw in the towel, when I got the thought, maybe it wasn't the modem or the ROUTER! Maybe it was some sort of configuration I accidently made to the computer. I decided to switch the modem to my laptop... first I had to find the drivers so that my computer would recognize and run the hardware. Now where did I put that CD?
I had to go on a mini scavenger hunt trying to locate it... but I did find it just where I suspected it to be... among the other ignored software. I grabbed the enveloped disc and slid it in my computer.... PLEASE WORK..... was all I kept thinking.... I WILL NOT STAND for another angry look because I can't fix the problem. I got the drivers installed in a jiffy, and mentally gave myself a pat on the back... I KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! All the while I kept thinking PLEASE LET THIS WORK.
I then popped the installation disc for the router in... still hoping it would work......IT DIDN'T. I was disappointed. My clever idea didn't work AND it meant there was nothing wrong with the configuration on my desktop. CRAP!!!!! My next thought was there was something wrong; who could I get help from? I called the manufacturer of my laptop... thank goodness for extended warranties!
That victory would be short lived. Nearly two hours and a direct connect from Dell later, I was transfered to a department that wanted $250 for them to give me software! I don't need software, I need results. I told him my computer cost nearly $3,600 and I wasn't going to pay for any additional services. I then bid the man good day and hung up. That was about twenty-five minutes ago.
I reconnected the modem directly to my computer so that I could enjoy the internet again.... tsk tsk for the remaining computers. I have no idea what else to do. I have gone above and beyond the call of duty to make it work. I've enlisted the help of professionals... I've spent countless hours (without pay or recognition) trying to establish the connection. Cosmo is just not having it. I need a break now and some turtle soup :0)
Sup, Hey all, I've been trying to fix some personal problems these past few weeks. I've gotten a moment to make an entry. The family is good and for the most part I am too. I've been enjoying a new game called sorority life.... If you've never heard of it... go to facebook.com and make a profile and then join sorority life. If you think you can't join because you are international....WRONG... you can, there are people on there all over the globe, various ages and creed. Join today... you'll have fun once you learn how the game is played. Have any questions? Please ask.
May is here and it came fast. Wow these months are flying by. Can you believe it? Ahh so many things to take care of. I am still working on my book (I did mention I was writing a book right?). I haven't had a lot of time to concern myself with the book... but I will get back on track with it over the weekend.
