Done This Week
Dec. 22nd, 2024 02:09 pmThere was a planned power outage on Wednesday. Since then my internet has been a mess. Almost anything causes my home internet to crap out. It came back for a while on Friday, and I thought, oh good, I don’t have to call and go through customer service hell. It was basically fine yesterday. And now today, it is dead again. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
I’ve got workarounds that work with my tablet, but nothing that will get internet to my desktop computer. I’ve got too much shit going on right now to worry about it, though. I’m not going to call and deal with them days before a major national holiday. What I need to do is get a wireless adapter for my desktop so it can work with a hotspot. Whether I buy one or continue to use the ones made available through my local library remains to be seen. But I’m so sick of paying for goods and services that don’t work.
Speaking of which! I have bought a new oven. Because the warranty company did not, in fact, get their contractors under control and get the old one fixed. I am furious about that, but also relieved to finally have an oven again.
And in a final fuck-you from this week, I was scheduled to have a medical clearance call on Friday. As far as I know, this is to give me instructions on lab work to get done ahead of surgery. I sure hope that’s all I need to do, because time is a-tickin’. But I sure as shit don’t know yet, because I got stood up! They never called. I tried sending messages to find out if they were just running late--when it was thirty minutes past time--and then had to just say, cool, your business hours are over now, so I guess we’re rescheduling.
Ills and disservices! That’s all I’m getting these days! Fuck!
Lewisia: 4 new pieces written, and I guess I’m just going to pick away at the backlog each week
Day job: 43 hours
Reading: finished the Two Towers production, now I have to wait for Return of the King to be available
Listening: Wonders by S. J. Tucker (inspired by Catherynne M. Valente’s The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, utterly delightful, need to go reread the book in celebration)
Aftermarket Parts: got stood up for medical clearance call, got updated letter of support for surgery (since it will over a year since I got it by the time of my surgical date)
Clock Mouse: 1577 words
Other: unloaded hay twice
