The Day From Hell
Christ, I can’t catch a break today. Or maybe it started Sunday night. Which makes sense since last week was the most fun I’ve had in awhile.
Sunday night, all set to record Marvel Tales, but agita starts kicking my ass. Okay, no problem. I’ll record Monday morning. I’d rather have the house to myself. Along with Nanuuq, of course. But no! I end up oversleeping and congested, unable to breathe out of one nostril. Joy. Okay. I can still go for broke Monday night, right? Nope. Because I didn’t finish my notes for the week’s new releases. All right. I’ll finish writing them up and record that Tuesday morning. Which means Marvel Tales will probably not be part of Marvel Noise 33. But I have to get something out there because there’s audio that’s been sent in.
Woke up today, feeling better, and all set to go after my shower and breakfast. But why can’t I connect to the Internet? And what’s up with the phone? Wonderful. Time to troubleshoot the modem and router. While I’m doing that my neighbor comes over to fix our gate (the wood sticks and is a bitch to open and close). So I run the power cord through the window while he’s working on that. He finishes and I go outside to thank him. He lost a drill bit, so I help him look for it. After a few minutes searching I find it and clean up the wood shavings. Connectivity is back and all is well in the world. But now I have to clean up, get my dinner together, and get ready to head out. Meaning there was no recording.
The drive in was uneventful, but once I got to work, why it’s more fun! Profile issues prevent me from logging in. Actually, I can log in, but things are screwy thanks to software I’m testing. So I spend time tweaking my profile, locally and on the network. Of course, bringing down a new profile means everything has to be reconfigured. I’m finally working everything’s running smooth and Outlook decides to crash. Which means I have to close all of my other programs and windows because Outlook is the first application I open. I just can’t have the database or ConsoleOne or Explorer be the first item on the taskbar.
So now everything is okay. Dinner went off without a hitch until my yogurt squirted me while I was opening it. If I wasn’t so tired, I’d probably laugh.
I have no idea if I’ll be recording anything tonight. We’ll see how I feel.
And it’s only Tuesday?!?!?
