I have been living with a slow internet connection for quite some time. And it has been bugging the crap outta me. I get soooo impatient with the damned thing! And lord knows, an impatient me is a MEAN me. There were many times I have been tempted to kick this damned computer down the stairs.
But, after reading up some on the internet (though it took a while for the page to load up - hehe), I found a solution. Ditch the lousy Radio Shack cable splitter I have been using forever and upgrade to a better quality splitter. I went to BEst Buy and bought 2 2-way Monster spiltters (at $19.99 a piece mind you). And what do you know?? It worked! Now pages load much faster and that makes me a happier person. And a much happier me equals an unkicked computer.
I am sure it is thanking me right now.
By the way, I have to use a splitter since my apartment has only 1 cable hookup and it is in the living room. Yes, just one. But I can't complain. I don't have a separate cable tv bill since it is included in the rent ;)
Ahhhh happy me. I ordered 2 pairs of shoes online after a fruitless search for cute size 10 shoes here in town. It is too hot outside to be fooling around going store to store trying on shoes. I just don't have the patience. Had I been lucky enough to have a size 7 or 8 foot, I would have come home with some shoes. But alas, I have big tuna boat feet. Luckily for me though, Famous Footwear is having a buy-one-get-one-half off sale and it also applies to their online store - and they have free shipping. I spent only $56 for 2 pairs of shoes.More happiness for me! Happy feet for me too.
Even more happiness is coming up for me too. I have some vacation time coming up next week. I am still not sure whether or not I will make the journey up to Oregon to Crater Lake, but I sure want to. We shall see. If not, I will enjoy the time off anyhow. Maybe go to the beach or Sequoia Ntl Park or something else. In any case, the folks and I are going to Lake Tahoe in October for a few days. So even if I don't make a trip on my vacation, I will still have Tahoe to look forward to.
On a less than happy note, we lost another worker in my unit, so I got his leftover cases. Oh well. More work makes the day go by faster at least.
On a completely unrelated note, but a very funny one (to me at least), I read that Steven Seagal claims that the FBI investigation on him ruined his career. HA! His ACTING ruined his career. I don't know how the hell he got a movie career in the first place. He sucks! He is about as talented as Britney Spears. Maybe the two of them should do a film together. It would be a fabulous train wreck. (hmmm...maybe a movie about a train wreck....but I digress)
Speaking of Britney Spears....the bitch is crazy.
I am going to bed.
