Day: December 20, 2005

And just to wind me up more, FreeUK are their usual crap selves, with me being kicked off after about 20 minutes at most online, and having to try about 30 times each time to get my password verified. So far I’ve spent 30 minutes online, roughly, out of the last 2 and a half hours.

I’ve forgotten my Wanadoo password, so I’m attempting to register with someone else. Obviously, this requires that I actually remain connected long enough to complete filling out the fucking registration form, which, 2 hours after I started and with no ability to actually *connect* to the fucking internet isn’t really happening. I’m really fed up. See my other post for, I suppose, why I’m feeling upset and frustrated and a computer issue which would normally just wind me up a bit now has left me feeling drained and helpless and alone and all the stuff… yeah. So. bastard thing.

I meant to get a calling card so I could call the US today, but promptly forgot when I got to Lambourn, especially ‘cos I only popped in there to drop off a prescription for my mother and headed back shortly afterwards. So I can’t ring people when I was planning to either.

See, now, look. I’ve gone and logged on to the internet and although I logged on to submit work I’m instead sat here browsing Livejournal. Blah. I’ve done the 750 word segment of critiquing for IP3, but that’s all I’ve done work-wise since I got here. I’ve read some of The Princess Bride which is turning out to be an excellent book, just as it was an excellent film. My mother’s looking for stuff relating to various bills required for planning her finances now. I’ll be helping her later this evening and then we’ll be sending an exciting e-mail so that some financial planning can begin.
