Wireless Connection



Blog was almost taken offline by an old computer with spotty wireless, but I will not talk too ill about my old and trusty relic because I am now online. But for how long? Hopefully long enough to compose whatever it is I intend to compose at this very second and quickly post it so as to post for the sake of posting.



What ado about this excuse again? I know, it's weak. Well, I had choices, obviously, but none were appealing; none were feasible. Consider[ed]: 

• Using one of my two fully functional work-issued laptops? Nope and nope. I a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y refuse to blur the lines between work and private. Call me paranoid, respectful or whatever, but: I do not blog at work; I do not check personal email at work; I do not check my bank account at work; and I do not put my personal items on the work network. I am a conscientious and responsible employee and that's all I'll say on this subject. Paranoid.
• Sitting next to my port to hardwire in? Did that before. It stresses me out; I'm too commitment phobic (I want to hyphenate this, but I'm just not sure, ugh!) for that. It also hurts my back. Makes no sense, I know --- think it is just psychosomatic manifestations of commitment phobia (grrr, LYN).

• Blog via iPhone or iPad. Strongly considered. Not ready for all that yet, though, I'm sure it is only a matter of time. I regularly compose emails on my phone and I drafted an unbelievably long and important work email on my ipad at 3AM last night. That's decent practice. Obstacles. Straining my eyes on my phone. Composing on my phone, hitting the wrong button and losing everything; I'd LOSE my shit and either break my phone or shut the blog down permanently. Words with Friends and/or Chess with Friends. I blame Zynga for my unread queue of iBooks. Seriously. No way I'd ever get through an entry on the iPad unless 3 of my closet comrades ALL decide to go to bed at 11PM all on the same night. 
• Buy a new computer. I want a Mac badly. I'm trying to exercise discipline. I could reestablish my photo-editing hobby, organize my music and, of course, just … who knows, but… I feel I need another 3 substantive excuses.



It was a little more difficult than this, originally





Alas I am disconnected again. Time to troubleshoot and post quickly. And with this post, I've completed task #1 on my weekend checklist. And this isn't even one of the three things I've placed in my queue to write about. Procrastination at its finest.
