What a Start... What a Finish
Day started great. Made my usual awesome pot of Peet's coffee and got to work by 7am to knock out some code.
Also, today is LP's birthday, I remembered it, purchased appropriate cards and made a batch of homemade (sort of) biscuits for breakfast.
By 9:30am, which happened to be the exact moment LP was taking off for Orlando for a business trip, I get a call from Anna's school. She's throwing up and has to stay out for 24 hours. Drats. So much for getting anything done today.
Pick up Anna and write day off to running errands. Anna and I go drop a bill at Target buying groceries. Get the call that grandpa is available for watching Anna.
Anna and I pick up some lunch and head to g-parents for a nosh session of Chick-Fil-A.
I decide to head home and work verus heading straight back to work. Man, am I tired. Lemme take a 20 minute nap before I work. AHHHHHH, I'm waking up and it's 2pm !!!
Time to get humping. Can't connect to internet because home computer is on the fritz. Can't renew IP address and I know dick about networks, routers and whatnots. Where's Chuck Norris to roundhouse this damn thing when you need him?
My friend Big Bill calls me and I commence to yell about phucking networks dis and dat, blah, blah, blah. Bill was actually calling to let me know I have a 19 inch monitor on my desk at work and it'll be there when I arrive tomorrow. Oooof, sorry for being a dick, Big Dog.
But let's set the record straight. Only 2 things will send me over the edge: LP telling me the internet connection does not work because that then leads to #2, me having to find either an excuse or a fix for the damn thing.
3 hours later I determine that Winsock has been corrupted. Delete 2 registry keys, re-add them and BAM it works like magic. In fact, I think it really was magic.
In the process, I actually get my laptop and desktop set up in a network, sharing files and a printer and all that other cool networky shat.
About to head to the g-parents to pick up Anna and get some yummy dinner.
See, you start the day with Peet's and stuff will just take care of itself from there on.
