Tomorrow will be the first day since moving that I will be completely alone for an entire day.
Everyone I know will be at work.
This will continue for a week and a half.
Then, my parents will be out here and within a few days of that, Neil and I will be moving into our new place. After that, I will have to unpack, settle in, find a new job and essentially settle into a new life in a new place.
It's a strange feeling, this period of transition -- kind of like the calm before a storm. I want to enjoy this free time -- but cannot shake the feeling of complete uselessness. I've given myself little errands and tasks to complete everyday. We are organized and ready to move. There is no need to fret, yet I am filled with some weird nervous energy. People always talk of wanting time for themselves and here I have it.
Guess I'd better enjoy it!
That is me in the summer! I give myself a little job to do everyday so I'm not stuck home alone with nothing to do. It is weird.My project this week has been to install and secure a wirless router in our house. The Russian Geek at Best Buy sort of snickered and said "good luck" after I'd denied the support of the geek squad. Sometimes I just wish that I could handle the weirdness of being along and not have to create tasks....then I wouldn't be up to my ears in computer junk I don't understand!

What this means is that I may have to put a day or 2 in for work (at least some evenings!!) when I'm there. You must have your wireless set up....a monkey can setup a secure wireless home (To prove this, I...yes, me, set ours up ;-)...geek squad, you don't need no stinkin geek squad....like, w/e...tehe

oh yes....it seems I must clarify some comments made above: I wasn't insulting anyone but myself...aka...the monkey....and the retardos at the geek squad (the other monkeys). I really don't fully read other posts...so, Andrea, don't take it the wrong way. It should be fairly straight forward though....the main thing you need to do is set a password to protect it...that is all the geek squad would do and they would charge you $50+ to do it. Man, these bloggy-dealys are quite strange things indeed....or, perhaps I was dropped too many times as a child~T

Thanks for the vote of confidence Tim! In fact, I was going to ask the Russian Geek Boy how much it would be to get the Geek Squad out. I was thinking if it was $25 or so I would pay for it just to get it over with, you know? But then the way the Russian Geek Boy basically tried to say that I COULDN'T do it...foolish pride got in the way and damn the geeks!I pretty much get what to do...just a matter of me sitting down and doing it. It will take me longer than the average geek, but I will not be talked down to by the geek squad!!I should have known this guy sucked...I walked up to him and said, "Do you have a minute?" and he answered, "For you I have all the time in the world"......Come to think of it...maybe he was French??

Big T:Please use our wireless all that like. You should probably know that we've decided to adopt Telus's pricing plan that they use in their hotspots through all the Starbucks and airports across the country:$6/hr$10/day$20/monthThere will probably be huge network access fees, activation fees, screw you fees etc. since the network access will be through O&B's system until Aug. 9. However, as a wireless network/cellphone representative I am contractually bound to deny the existence of all these fees unless you are accompanied by a representative of the CRTC.
