Lowered Expectations

Note: This is a blog I wrote a week ago and it was saved on my computer. We finally got the new wireless router on Tuesday evening so I can post it now. Updates are italicized.

Here I sit, with a hot water bottle to my hip. Fun times. When will this end.

My hip is doing much better but is still badly bruised.
I usually does not hurt during the day but I still can’t sleep on that side.

I just finished watching the most recent episode of Veronica Mars. I was expecting big things – there hasn’t been an episode in 6 weeks and the there was buzz this was supposed to be a real turning point in the season. I don’t know if it was the anticipation caused me to have unrealistic expectations but I was expecting more.
This week’s episode more than compensated for last weeks. There was a mini-cliffhanger at the end so I cannot wait until the next one. I found out today that there will be all new shows until the end of the season.

My battle with electronics continued today.
I had to hook up the printer physically to the server (it had previously had been hooked up wirelessly). I have been having all sort of problems ever since. The computers keep on losing the printer settings. It is very unusual.
I have been so busy I have not had the time to make the printer wireless again.

The desktop computer that I normally work on spontaneously shut off twice today. It has happened at least once a day this past week. Every time it happens, Windows gives a different reason for the “serious error”. I got so frustrated today I gave up and hooked up my own laptop to the network and continued working.
I haven’t had the problem of it spontaneously restarting but there are lots of problems with MS Office. The problems can be fixed by program updates but the Office CD I need is missing. So it is a great source of frustration. After threatening the computer that I would kick it in the groin if it had one, my cousin told me that I should write a book of all my sayings.

I have to apologize for the lack of silliness lately. Employed Janny is apparently a very dull girl.
Unfortunately I'm still pretty dull. However I did almost making myself sick eating ice cream sandwiches. I’m pretty sure dull people don’t gore themselves on ice cream sandwiches. Maybe I’m not.
