Connectivity

Hello World!

Yesterday was a little bit of a technology snafu.  My home internet went out around lunch time and didn’t come back up until this morning.  Working from home this obviously presents a challenge.  I need to be able to get on-line at all times.  My phone saved the day as it has many times before.  Visible Plus to the rescue.  I have unlimited data nd unlimited hotspot data.  Your only supposed to connect 1 device but I was able to get away with 2.  1 of which was a computer and the other was my Roku.  When work was done for the day I was down to just my Roku.  I’m not sure what went wrong with my home internet but they have been having issues where we have spot outages for a few hours and then were back up.  Of course my special price just expired so I am paying more now and they don’t give credit for outages.  If you want it you have to call.  I’m getting close to loosing my cool with them and about ready to call to see if I can get the price lower.  There is another fiber company coming to town but they are dragging their feet.  If they were here today I’d make the switch kind of tired of the local cable company.  It wasn’t just internet that was down it was phone and TV as well but I only have them for internet so the rest of my stuff worked.  That’s why you can’t put all of your eggs in one basket, you have to diversify or have backup providers for redundancy.  That can get expensive but Visible has been rock solid for me in every possible way.  I can’t sing their praises loud enough. 

Funny what started out as cell phone service for dating has turned in to my primary service for cell data and has doubled as a work phone.  I’ve become so reliant on it I can’t imagine living without it.  If they just offered to associate your name with your number I’d move my regular cell service over, drop the extra coverage and be able to save a bunch of money.  However, it’s a pre-paid service so caller id only displays as Wireless Caller, which for dating if your making calls is a good thing to help mask your identity. 

I had to fight a little bit to get my desktop and laptop to connect to my phone as a hotspot but got it working and was able to continue with my day.  I only had a meeting that got pushed back to the afternoon and I was able to join it from the comfort of my couch.  Nothing else came about and I was thankful for that. 

This morning is starting off the same as yesterday in that I have nothing to do for several hours and then it’s meeting, meeting, lunch, meeting, meeting.  Unless something else comes in to break up this cycle that’s how my day is looking to shape up. 

Woke up with my back feeling funny the more I started to wake up that funny feeling developed into an itch.  I scratched and it felt a little odd.  I looked in the mirror and I’ve got claw marks on my back.  What in the world happened last night?  Which cat got me?  No one’s talking here cat’s got their tongues.  It’s nothing major and it will heal but damn it’s gonna itch a lot and I hate that. 

Speaking of itches my neck is bothering me a little bit but the peeling has stopped.  I just resist scratching as best as I can.  I’ve got some strong will power if I want to use it but an itch is one of those things that you think will feel better if you scratch it and sometimes that is the case but with this that is NOT the case it only makes things worse. 

Had left over pizza for supper last night.  Broke into my newly found ice cream stash of Haggen Daz.  One more thing I found when I went to work on the freezer.  I’ve got a few pints to go through and it’s so good!

Wanted to really watch porn last night but that internet outage with my home network impacted my ability to stream from my desktop to my TV.  I’ve got an old scene from Corbin Fisher that I am itching to watch.  Not sure if I will make it to tonight but I am gonna try my best. 

Right now it’s time to get away from the computer and go relax, hoping that I am left alone so I can enjoy my down time before meeting season kicks in this afternoon. 

Hope all is well in your world and that your staying cool & hydrated!  Take care.
