My fucking keyboard is borked again.
Oh, and the fridge froze my precious mini cucumbers. Which means they are garbage now because even when they are thawed out, they’ll be mush.
AND it froze my potato salad TWICE. After I discovered that the fucking fridge had frozen it yesterday, I deliberately put it back in the fridge on the BOTTOM shelf so that it could thaw out while staying fresh and edible far away from the freezer and hence any chance of it freezing AGAIN.
But of course, some kind citizen noticed that my potato salad was in the “wrong” place in the fridge and put it back on the “right” shelf, the top shelf, where it froze AGAIN.
Luckily , Joe was able to microwave the potato salad back in edibility. Tasted around the same but lost considerable ground in terms of texture.
I just pretended it was fancy mashed potatoes.
But it’s the return of my keyboard issues that’s really pissing me off.
I thought this was a solved problem. I thought switching to a wireless keyboard did the trick. I thought I’d put my days of using the Windows On Screen Keyboard behind me.
I had, metaphorically speaking, turned my back on it.
But apparently it just took it this long to figure out ho1w to go wireless, because I have the exact same problem again, and it makes me want to take a running jump out of the nearest open window.
Because if going wireless doesn’t work any more, it returns to being a completely unsolvable problem that even the Internet is stumped by.
And that means I am fucked.
More bitching later, but I need to rest now.
Hell, I haven’t even told you about my internet problems yet!
More after the break .
OK, now where was I?
My internet problems. There are two.
The first is that I can’t connect properly to Tapestries any more. 🙁
When I try, I get booted off the server every 3 to 5 minutes with a “connction aborted due to error” message.
My client reconnects automatically, so it would be possible to just put up with it. And it may yet come to that, because I NEED to see my fuzzy friends.
But for now , it’s just too chaotic for me.
The other problem is even worse : my download speed has dropped to rates not seen since bandwidth was measured in baud.
As in, I bought an expansion for the game I’ve been playing, Pathfinder, today .
I beat the main game so it’s DLC time!
The expansion is 7.8 gigs. It is currently down.
Estimated download time : 3 DAYS.
Yup, you read that right. DAYS. In fact, it varies wildly. 3 is just an estimated average. I have seen it as low as 6 hours and as/ high as one YEAR.
A fucking YEAR. What the actual fuck?
Something screwy is going on with our internet, that’s for sure. And I want it fixed pronto. This is utterly unacceptable.
I mean, it’s messing with my friends AND my games? And the keyboard shit is messing with my blogging?
Those three things are my entire life. I ain’t got shit else.
It makes me feel like fate is coming for me.
Well I ain’t going without a fight. I am going to hunt down and destroy every one of these problems, and be all the stronger for it.
I am tired of giving up.
Time to give trying harder a shot.
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
