Why does nothing go right? Why is everything all messed up? Why is it that I work all day on computers...and then I come home and somethign is always wrong with my computer and I have to work on the computers at home? The new computer, the one that's running XP so nicely and was working perfectly yesterday is now not recognizing its ethernet card. At least, that's what it says when I insert the Cavalier cd and try to run the setup again. SEttings are correct and the internet works. I know this because I'm currently connected by way of The Evil. If The Evil can connect, the internet is ok. Things were better at work today. It was really really slow and like I said before, I haven't killed my chances of getting that new position.
The house is stony silent. It's not peaceful silent, it's...driving me crazy. I will probably go to bed soon.
I've decided that I want to try to go to Greece in 2008 sometime. I told mom this and she's got all these questions...who I'm going with, why I want to go there, how I'll get there, will i take an organized tour, what I'll do, why on earth don't I just take a Caribbean cruise?
Caribbean cruise? I don't know um....those crumbled old Greek temples aren't exactly there in abundance in the Caribbean. Otherwise, I have no blasted clue. I only decided a few days ago that I wanted to go and Haven't really gotten any more detailed than "2008".
Then she tells me I should find a women's group to travel with. Or a singles tour.
A SINGLES TOUR?????? Ew.
I don't know. I'd love to travel by myself. But there are safety considerations and all. But, like I said...I only decided this a few days ago, and there is some time to work it out.
Oh, and then she suggests I email Grandpa for travel tips. Her father. Who I last saw at Grandmom's funeral what...4 years ago? And before that hadn't seen since my senior year of high school. "Hi, Um...remember me? I'm your granddaughter. Can you give me some advise about European travel?"
So mom said she'd email him for me. Apparently, it's one of those that that he will talk anyone's ears off about. Can't say I'm surprised, the little that I do know of him is that he and Louise (his not-wife for as long as anyone can remember) spend almost all of their time country-hopping. When they're not travellig around, they live in one of those condos across the street from the art museum in Philadelphia (If you've ever been to the art museum, you probably know exactly which building it is. They face each other.)
Right now, I'm thinking of going to sleep.
