Lucky Day?, need power, got internet
Wish-eth
Me luck. Eth.
OK, so I’m on my way out to Eureka, CA this Saturday! Going to meet with some Job Placement locations, see what we can drum up. Let’s cross our fingers that all goes well, because again, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. And So Cal has a peculiar tendency to do that to me.
It was hard as hell to set up this week-long trip, though. Everything seemed to be conspiring against me. I give you exhibit a), Jury Duty. Yeah, they called me up for that shit, can you believe it? They like me. They call my butt down every year. Without fail. So, did I say I was racist and leave? No. They excused me on the first day, sort of. Then they informed me that I had a “30-day obligation” to them, and to call back next Monday. Are you freaking kidding me?! Now they’re groping your balls for 30 days?
This just isn’t right. I called, explained that I’m in the process of transitioning to Eureka, CA, and my current employer has already replaced me, and I couldn’t hang around Riverside-Freaking-County at their whim, and that’s all there is to it.
So they postponed it a week. Yay me…. Ho hum.
But, that’s good enough. Provided I get a JOB when I get up there, I’m golden. No Jury Duty for me! So let’s um, hope I get a job so that I don’t have to do Jury Duty in So Cal. Yeah.
Got wireless internet. Need wireless power
OK, so by now, everyone knows I love my lil’ PowerBook G4 laptop. Take it with me everywhere. Even the bathroom on occasion (hey, can’t change the music from two rooms away, now can I). Take it to work with me. I do lots of work on it, actually. Really, a whole freaking lot of work.
Portable computers are awesome in this regard. Having Mac OS X with me wherever I go is magic to the touch. Not having my power cord with me, that’s not so magical.
I keep saying I need to buy an extra power cord. That way, I’d have a mobile one and a stationary one; Home and Laptop bag. I’d even label them and give them cute little name tags, too.
Thankfully, The Girl is afflicted and I have the cure. One phone call later, and I have Miss Cutie-Pants strutting into work, making me look good and powering my ‘Book. Life is good
About that Wireless Internet thing ⬆
If you have at&t High-Speed Internet (which they’re cutely calling HSI now), you should check out this deal. I have signed up for this before, and it’s really quite a great bargain. It’s what I used last August –when last I was in Eureka – to connect to the internet & email pictures and schtuff. Really. Cool. Nice. You should get.
Now if only we could cut at&t out of this equation somehow.
Peace.
