I'm in a bit of a funk today. Said funk could have one of many causes:
- The DSL continues to not work reliably, despite numerous calls to AT&T. If I felt better, we'd have switched to Time Warner for cable Internet long ago.
- The DSL guy was out here yesterday and this morning, the phones did not ring. We could make and receive calls fine, but there was no ringing. The cordless models didn't even indicate that there was an incoming call. So, I called AT&T and they said "We'll fix it between now and Friday." And then, this afternoon, we got a loud, horrible buzzing sound instead of a dial tone and can no longer make or receive calls. Awesome.
- I'm almost mad at my parents for there not being anything to really eat in the house. But, the rational part of my brain says "They were at a freakin' estate sale all day yesterday, and have been working tirelessly to fix up the house so they can sell it." So I'm not really mad, just a little peeved that there's never any tea.
- A couple weeks ago, my laptop got to hot while playing a game and shut down improperly. Ever since, IE7 and any program that uses it in any way won't work at all. Semagic, my disc burning program, and the installers for three or four things just don't work. And I haven't felt well enough to get in touch with Dell support to do anything about it. Plus, and this is genius on Microsoft's part, you can't download IE7 for Vista at all! The only site you can get it from auto-detects that you're running Vista and says "You don't need to download it. You already have it."
- Or, it could be the old favorite that I've been in constant pain for almost two and a half years, haven't worked or gone to school in three years, and can see no end to the pain. Plus, I've started work on the hearing for disability only to find out that it could take up to a year before I actually get a hearing.
- Or, there's the fact that I don't get out and spend the majority of my time in my room. And this coming May, it'll be ten years since I graduated high school. And what have I done in that time? Precisely dick.
