no choice but to sit and wait
Well isn't that just ducky. The two crucial software programs I use at work are non-functional and/or suddenly nonexistant on my computer. Just mine.

Something where I get to be geeky and plugged into the games I love, but also part of some community, because I need people around me or I'd go 'round the bend.
