Or anything else, for that matter.
Things I Accomplished Today:
1. GOT ON THE TRAIN TEN MINUTES EARLY! This is really truly amazing, considering I usually miss it.
2. Did a lot of photoshop retouching and made a "How to Defrag and When to Defrag" fact sheet for my boss. Both of these things tasks were pleasing to me.
3. Finally saw and read the article I'm in, in Long Island Pulse, which two people complimented me about before I even knew it was out. All in all, I could have looked and sounded stupider! Good scene.
4. Finished Anne Bishop's Belladonna, which was so incredibly good and moving and heartening that there are no words for it. Except for those several I just typed.
5. Decided to find the missing internet. Reset the cable modem.
6. Reset the cable modem again.
7. Plugged in the coaxial cable that my mother had earlier disconnected, and reset the cable modem again, a bit sheepishly.
8. Reset the cable modem two more times and also tried resetting the router.
9. Called the cable company and cursed animatedly at the stupid automated "I will help you get your internet working" helper lady, who just kept saying "Sorry, I didn't get that."
10. Deciding to bypass the router, finally noticed that the ethernet cable had also been unplugged from the modem, and felt like a jackass for not checking into this earlier.
11. Restored the internet.
Things I Did Not Get to Do Today, Despite All Attempts to the Contrary
1. Finish the portfolio I have been working on for a seemingly endless amount of time. I did, however, change the phrase "job history" to "work history" in my bio, which obviously sounds much better.
2. Clean... anything... at all.
3. Find the horrible beetle that seems to be living in my room. IT BUZZES AND CLACKS AND IT'S SO FRIGHTENING AND UPSETTING. I went on a search and destroy mission, which involved a lot of sudden squealing on my part, only to find that the beetle I was squealing over was on the OUTside of my window banging against the glass. However, I'm still not convinced there's not a beetle INSIDE and now I feel like I will never know, since I can hear the horrible outside beetle too!
The horrible outside beetle is of a terrible size and a shape I have never quite witnessed in a beetle. It's absolutely dreadful. It has little beady evil-looking eyes. It looks like it belongs underground. I wish it would GO underground instead of horrifying me from between my screen and my window. OH MY GOSH I THINK I JUST HEARD WINGS.
