Totally. |
I did warn you that this week would be all about the house and the move. I wasn't lying.
This afternoon I worked at home because the contractor came out to fix our foundation. Which is funny, because if our foundation weren't jacked up, they wouldn't have to come out to jack it up.
That's North Texas clay soil humor. Thank you to those nodding your head in perfect understanding.

Let's just assume it won't come to that. |
It's been a long, slow, tedious process. And I was a little trepidatious (which I'm declaring totally a word, despite spellcheck and my online dictionary calling bullshit on it, because I'm not a woman to be trifled with, dammit) about continuing the process at home, because it meant accessing the remote server even more remotely, via my home network. I did not have high hopes for my productivity. And I wasn't too excited by the prospect of spending a lovely afternoon at home yelling at my stupid computer, either.
So imagine my surprise when I got on my wifi, accessed the remote server, and proceeded to fucking blaze through files like a cyber-knife through cyber-butter, if you get my cyber-drift.

I was taken aback by the efficacy of my connectivity, as it were. |
I mention this mostly because, due to getting so much shit done, I was also able to arrange internet and TV service at the new apartment this afternoon. I got a good deal and a free equipment upgrade, so at the new place, I'll have internet that's twice as fast as what I experienced today.
With that kind of speed, I will literally be able to digitize myself and live in the goddamn cloud.

That's right. Just like this. |

Possibly an insensitive simile. I apologize to the homeless and squirrels. |
Next up: Ordering checks with my new address on them. Checks, LOL.
I'm just old school that way.
Big things are good things! Glad you're hanging in there :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've gotten some good news, and here's some slightly less good but still good news: trepidatious is a word. At least according to the Oxford English Dictionary which cites uses dating as far back as 1904. It's just fallen out of use, but you've brought it back.

Well, there ya go. Things will work out. And if you ever plan on the swan dive, call me first.
ReplyDeleteWell goddammit, more people need to read this blog then Chuck. The world needs more funny, and it's right here. I'm going to start linking to your posts on my site. That should get you another ... at minimum ... one reader.
ReplyDeleteMy latest post references and links to this one. Be prepared for a flood of traffic ... that's all I'm sayin'.
I love your blog!
Gotta laugh at the reference to checks. I was at the office lamenting that they don't teach kids cursive anymore (get off my lawn!) and someone (younger) asked "why do you need to write in cursive?". I said, "You at least need to be able to write checks". And everyone laughed. Get. Off. My. Damn. Lawn.
